This panel will compare the different approaches to systems engineering net-centric systems. Based upon the taxonomy developed by the Net-Centric Operations Working Group (NCOWG), and published in the paper 'Systems Engineering Net-Centric solutions -an analysis of different perspectives', the panelists will present different approaches being adopted by different organizations to realizing net-centric operations.The INCOSE NCOWG was established in 2005 to develop an understanding of the specific systems engineering challenges associated with implementing net-centric solutions. The NCOWG has identified several different assumptions as the nature, purpose and boundary of the systems engineering function. The panel will compare several different perspectives on implementing net-centric solutions including:• The performance-centric approach being adopted by UK MOD for network enabled capability and possibly commercial fields, such as Rail Transportation and Air Traffic Control sectors, etc. • The architecture-centric approach being adopted by the Swedish FMV and commercial fields, such as, civil mobile communications, etc. • The information-centric approach being adopted by the US DoD and commercial fields, such as, e-business/extended enterprise world, etc.Finally the panel will establish a lively dialogue on the applicability, strengths, weaknesses and coverage of the different approaches.
