====== IW 2018 - Sessions Involving the MSI Challenge Team  ======

The following are sessions at [[mbse:incose_mbse_iw_2018 | INCOSE IW18]] (in Jacksonville FL) involving the [[mbse:modsim | Modeling and Simulation Interoperability (MSI) Team]], which is part of the [[:start | INCOSE MBSE Initiative]]. 

MBSE Initiative POC: Russell Peak ([[mbse:modsim |MSI Team]])


==== Sat-Mon - Jan 20-22, 2018 ====
There are no separate MSI Team meetings on these days. We encourage participation in the MSI-related presentations during the MBSE plenary sessions and working group sessions, as seen on the [[mbse:incose_mbse_iw_2018 | INCOSE IW18 MBSE Initiative]] page.


==== Tue - Jan 23, 2018 ====

=== MBX Ecosystems Workshop ===

This workshop continues the same model-based ecosystems topic meetings we had at IW15 and IW17. The main organizers are Chris Delp (NASA/JPL), Brittany Friedland (Boeing), and Russell Peak (Georgia Tech; POC). This year the focus is on MBX ecosystem implementations based on the [[http://www.openmbee.org/|OpenMBEE]] framework. 

All times are shown in EST (US Eastern Standard Time zone).

This Tuesday session occurs 1:00pm to 5:00pm (EST) in the City Terrace 7 meeting room.
