MBSE Wiki

Welcome to the Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) Wiki. This wiki supports the activities of the MBSE Initiative that is sponsored by the International Council on Systems Engineering ( INCOSE) and the OMG Systems Engineering DSIG ( OMG SE DSIG). Refer to the MBSE Initiative Overview for a brief summary.

The INCOSE SE Vision 2020 ( INCOSE-TP-2004-004-02 September, 2007) defines Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) as “the formalized application of modeling to support system requirements, design, analysis, verification and validation activities beginning in the conceptual design phase and continuing throughout development and later life cycle phases. MBSE is part of a long-term trend toward model-centric approaches adopted by other engineering disciplines, including mechanical, electrical and software. In particular, MBSE is expected to replace the document-centric approach that has been practiced by systems engineers in the past and to influence the future practice of systems engineering by being fully integrated into the definition of systems engineering processes.” Applying MBSE is expected to provide significant benefits over the document centric approach by enhancing productivity and quality, reducing risk, and providing improved communications among the system development team.

Modeling has always been an important part of systems engineering to support functional, performance, and other types of engineering analysis. Wayne Wymore introduced a mathematical foundation for MBSE in his book entitled Model-Based Systems Engineering in 1993. However, the growth in computing technology and the introduction of modeling standards such as SysML, UPDM, Modelica, HLA, and others, are helping to enable MBSE as a standard practice, and provide a foundation to integrate diverse models needed to fully specify and analyze systems.

MBSE Initiative Overview

The MBSE Initiative was initiated at the INCOSE International Workshop in 2007. Its Charter is to “Promote, advance, and institutionalize the practice of MBSE to attain the MBSE 2020 Vision through broad industry and academic involvement in:

  • Research
  • Standards
  • Processes, Practices, & Methods
  • Tools & Technology
  • Outreach, Training & Education

The MBSE Initiative leadership includes the chair, co-chair, and support for communications as indicated below.

Chair Mark Sampson
Co-Chair Troy Peterson (previously Sandy Friedenthal)
Webinars and Communications TBD
MBSE Wiki Support Roger Burkhart

The MBSE Initiative is organized into MBSE Challenge Teams and MBSE Activity Teams. Challenge Teams are focused on demonstrating the application of MBSE to solve a particular problem that is identified by the team. Activity Teams are focused on advancing a particular aspect of MBSE. The names and leaders of these teams, along with the links to their individual sites, are shown below.

Tool Vendor Collaboration with MBSE Teams

Vendor CollaborationDescription
Participating Vendor offers and MBSE team needsINCOSE MBSE initiative encourages tool developer participation and collaboration in the MBSE effort. Collaboration can take many forms such as participating in a usability study, providing tool licenses for challenge teams, or providing presentations to advance the state MBSE. Tool Vendors can use this site to provide tool support to INCOSE MBSE Teams, and MBSE Teams can use this site to identify their tool needs.
