Distributed collaborative environments for systems engineering

Abstract

Distributed coUaboration is an emerging technology for the 210t century that will significantly change how business is conducted in the defense and commercial sectors.CoUaboration involves two or more geographically dispersed individuals working together to create a "product" by sharing and exchanging data, information, and knowledge. A product is dermed broadly to Include, for example, writing a report, creating software, designing hardware, or implementing robust systems engineering processes in an organization. CoUaborative environments provide the framework and integrate models, simulations, domain specific tools, and virtual test beds to facilitate collaboration between the multiple disciplines needed in the enterprise. The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is conducting a leading edge program in developing distributed collaborative technologies targeted to the Air Force's implementation of systems engineering for simulation-aided acquisition and test process and capability-based planning. The research is focusing on the open systems agent-based framework, product and process modeling, structural architecture, and the integration technologies -the glue to integrate the software components. In past four years, two live assessment events have been conducted to demonstrate the technology in support of Air Force Agile Acquisition that included capabilities for· system en�eering. The AFRLCollaborative Environment concept will foster a major cultural change in how the acquisition, training, and operational communities conduct business.

Strengthening Collaboration, Integration and Modelling in System of Systems Engineering

“…Since Systems Engineering is focused on creating an interdisciplinary engineering field, it is only natural to search for solutions and methods in other engineering fields, as a way of approaching the challenges. Combining Systems Engineering with the methods and tools used in software engineering [199], business management [216], modelling [95] and collaborative environments [174] has been proposed.…”

CoMDD: uma abordagem colaborativa para auxiliar o desenvolvimento orientado a modelos

“…Colaboração significa duas ou mais pessoas trabalhando juntas para compartilhar e trocar dados, informações e conhecimento (McQuay, 2004). A colaboração é uma atividade que tem sido evidenciada cada vez mais com o aumento da complexidade do desenvolvimento de sistemas, pois para se desenvolver um sistema robusto e complexo, uma só pessoa dificilmente é o suficiente.…”

“…O termo colaboração foi definido por (McQuay, 2004) como sendo duas ou mais pessoas trabalhando juntas para compartilhar e trocar dados, informações, conhecimento, entre outros. Esse cenárioé bastante comum, impulsionado principalmente pelo outsour-CAPÍTULO 4.…”
