 System Architecture Systems architecture is the means of turning a good idea into a viable product, practical system or usable process. So, for technologists, systems architecture provides hope that their brilliant idea won't die because it's been used the wrong way; for semi-academics in the spin-outs, it's a means of ensuring that their investment gives a good prospect of return via sellable, maintainable, reconfigurable products. The meeting will present different perspectives on systems architecting, drawing on client side systems management and supplier side approaches from different domains and at different scales, and debate the questions “what do open architectures and standards mean for your business, and can you use the wider methods, heuristics and ways of thinking of the system architect? |

Invitation to the presentation of a new report and reception
The Global Networked Value Circle: A New Model for Manufacturing
The Strategy and International Business Group has recently written a new report in partnership with Capgemini Consulting. A summary is attached. This event is restricted to a limited number of guests who might benefit from a briefing on the study and the opportunity to meet and consider the implications with other business leaders concerned with these changes. A new study will shortly commence, again in collaboration with Capgemini, that will examine some of the implications of the changing global manufacturing value chain in more detail, and we would welcome your contribution to sharpening its focus.

Towards Visualisations of Configuration
Management One of the principal areas of concern for
managing large programmes is the
management of risk associated with change.
The central issue is one of communication.
This presentation proposes better methods of
communicating change. An illustration of this
is shown using the Victoria Line Upgrade
project, where a visualisation of the
configuration has improved communication.
Areas of success are highlighted and a
number of improvement areas identified. There are 2 Documents for this event, click here to view |

INCOSE UK Rail Systems Engineering Workshop After a successful series of evening presentations, the RIG is now organising a day-long
workshop to explore in more detail three difficult questions that rail organisations face in
increasing their take-up of systems engineering:
1. How should we apply systems engineering principles in the rail environment?
2. How do we find enough rail systems people?
3. How do we write systems engineering into contracts? There are 13 Documents for this event, click here to view |

ISO/IEC 25010, A Quality Model INCOSE UK´s London Local Group and The Institution of Engineering and Technology through the Systems Engineering Network have joined forces to reflect on this draft standard of a quality model.
“In the new model for software quality in the draft ISO/IEC CD 25010 standard, the concept of quality in use has been broadened to embrace a wider range of issues than was common in usability” (Bevan, 2009)

The Systems Engineering Competency
Framework and Guidelines and How They Could be Applied to Rail The Systems Engineering Competency Framework and Guidelines documents were
developed in response to an issue identified by the INCOSE UK Advisory Board
(UKAB).whose member organisations wanted a common language with which to describe
and discuss the competencies that are required to conduct good systems engineering. The
objective was ‘to have a measurable set of competencies for systems engineering which will
achieve national recognition and will be useful to the enterprises represented by the UKAB’. There are 2 Documents for this event, click here to view |

Developing Systems Delivery Capability in the South West Over the past two years Paul Shakspeare has been leading a project funded by the South West RDA to identify and resolve strategic skills gaps in the aerospace sector. As a result of this work a training and development strategy to respond to the skill shortages and professional development needs critical to the successful delivery of complex systems has been formulated. This session gives systems engineers, project managers and HR professionals a chance to feed into this process and help steer regional strategy and its associated funding.

Railway Interest Group IET's premises in Savoy Place, London |
Systems Engineering in Railways The INCOSE UK Rail Interest Group (RIG) is proud to be working with the IET to put on a one-day seminar at the IET's premises in Savoy Place, London on 11th November 2009 in 'Systems Engineering in Railways'. The seminar, delivered by senior figures within the rail industry, will illustrate the manner in which systems engineering techniques are becoming increasingly essential for modern railway engineers. Subtitled ‘Making it work for you’, the seminar will be of value to anyone needing to understand the benefits of systems engineering techniques in a railway environment as well as providing an opportunity for systems engineers to explore the current state of the art in rail systems engineering.
There is an optional ,pre-seminar tutorial to ensure that the seminar is fully accessible to the non-expert so, after you have taken a look yourself, please consider passing the details on to any colleagues who might benefit from a better appreciation of systems engineering in railways. The programme is available at http://www.theiet.org/events/2009/systems-engineering-prog-280909.pdf and more general details are on the IET web-site at http://www.theiet.org/events/2009/railway-systems.cfm. You will also find details of how to book your place at the seminar on this page. Please note that you cannot book for this event via INCOSE UK - the IET is handling all bookings. If you cannot find the answer to your question on one of these web pages, please contact the RIG Chair, Bruce Elliott on bruce.elliott@arbutus-tc.co.uk |

EA, IA, O – Enterprise Architecture in the Rail
Domain Systems Engineering was introduced to manage the complexity risk in large projects to replace, merge, augment and transition major mission critical systems. The success of SE has allowed more difficult and risky projects to be tackled which in turn has stimulated additional disciplines. This evolutionary cycle promises approaches to more “wicked” problems in “complex adaptive systems” as seen in the non-military evolution of “business capability” involving people, competencies and technical systems. The presentation will explore the challenges of the expanded problem domain and attempt to position the relationships between the disciplines.

Requirements Capture, Analysis & Specification using UML/SysML It is often difficult to gain an overall appreciation of the problem definition, or indeed one’s own solution, from routine and often meaningless lists, so Michelle has tried to promote the benefits of using UML and SysML to graphically represent requirements. Until recently, Michelle had only seen these languages used for articulating software specifications or safety requirements....

Tram / Train – A Systems Engineering Challenge A talk by Giles Thomas What is tram-train and can the concept bring benefits in the UK? In his talk Giles will explore the tram-train concept that has evolved in continental Europe and look at how the rail industry might benefit from of this emerging technology in the UK. The tram-train concept, that of inter-running vehicles that are designed for use on street tram systems and on the mainline railway, offers a significant opportunity for passenger market development in the UK. The concept, however, brings with it some significant system challenges There are 2 Documents for this event, click here to view |
