Abstract: 

The rise of Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) has greatly reduced the risk and cost of building complex systems at the organizations that have embraced it, with profound implications for the industries of Florida and the Orlando area.

MBSE can be implemented in different ways by different tools. This fast-paced presentation will describe MBSE and Vitech’s approach. This approach, integrating requirements with behavior, with architecture, with simulation, and with Verification and Validation dramatically reduces inefficiencies. It ensures absolute consistency among team members as the system is engineered and reduces technical ambiguity during the systems design so much, that single- clicks can produce system documentation and simulation.

Examples will be used during the presentation to demonstrate the benefits that can achieve through Model Based Systems Engineering.

About Warren Smith:

Warren B. Smith has been a Systems Engineer for 25 years. He has worked in many facets of the field, leading Systems Engineering teams, teaching Systems Analysis for University Extension programs, working for SE Tool vendors and even starting and operating his own Model-Based-Systems-Engineering (MBSE) Company which at its height had 7 employees.

Warren has worked in every aspects of Systems Engineering, from Requirements Analysis and Behavioral and Physical Architectures to Verification and Validation and Trade Studies. He has worked in both the functional and object-oriented domains, with a wide variety of systems including: Military Vehicles, Space, Training Systems, Amusement Park Rides, Munitions, Medical Devices and IT.

Warren recently joined the team at Vitech Corp to support to Systems Engineering throughout the US South. Vitech, a 20 year-old company which pioneered Model Based Systems Engineering was founded by David and Jim Long. Its mission includes actively promoting Systems Engineering and a Systems Perspective in an increasingly interconnected and complex world.
