Model-Based Systems Engineering and a broader framework that includes Natural Systems

Abstract: The presentation describes the primary characteristics of Model-Based Systems Engineering, and then lays out a broader framework of model orientation that expands both systems engineering and MBSE to include complex systems, natural systems, and foundation sciences. Model orientation, including a model repository of systems engineering knowledge, is the integrating feature of this unified framework. Roles of the Natural Systems Working Group in this framework are suggested.
