2021 Goals

As we step into 2021, the Working Group has decided to take on goals in 5 different categories...

Community Advancement

Through this category, we will continue to pursue activities and conduct events aimed at enhancing the Model Based Systems Engineering community in India. This includes running trainings and study groups for beginners, sharing latest developments throughout the globe, as well as sharing of best practices and networking amongst practitioners in industry.


Some planned activities include:

  • An MBSE Study Group

  • MBSE quizzes

  • #SysML4fun

  • Webinars

Collaboration

Through this category, we intend to actively reach out and collaborate with Global INCOSE and MBSE related groups, to support projects/initiatives of common interest. This will also provide an opportunity for the working group members to work closely with counterparts across the globe.


Some potential collaborations include:

  • INCOSE Smart Cities Initiative

  • OpenMBEE initiative

  • Other INCOSE chapters or working groups

Technical Contribution

We also intend to advance the state-of-the-art of the MBSE practice by creating Technical Work Products for the consumption of MBSE practitioners in India and across the globe. We also intend to work towards building training material and tutorials for colleges and beginners, as well as well as conducting research and publishing articles in technical conferences.


Some planned products include:

  • Technical Product based on Smart Parking Reference Architecture

  • MBSE patterns for specific industry sub-systems

  • SysML v2 evaluation using a demonstrative example

  • Quizzes and problem sets for certification study

  • Articles for conferences

Social Impact

Many group members are interested in making contributions to the society using their MBSE expertise. We wish to channelize these efforts towards one or two specific projects this year.


Some potential activities include:

  • Conducting a student competition

  • Engaging with local Smart City office

  • Participating in Indian Government Hackathon challenge

  • Working on INCOSE Grand Challenge

Efficient Administration

This year, we also intend to make it easier for our members to engage with the working group and contribute to activities of their interest.


Towards that end, we are:

  • Publishing a common calendar to give a bird's eye view of all the planned activities

  • Enhancing our web presence through a common website, active use of LinkedIn and other social media platforms

  • Tracking participation and feedback to enhance quality and engagement
