Scarecrow's MBSE Sharkfest

A two-day MBSE event featuring:

• presentations from the Scarecrow Team
• presentations from guest speakers
• panel sessions
• prizes

This is a great opportunity, at an incredibly low price (only £85 per person for the two days), to enjoy two days of thought-provoking (and possibly contentious!) MBSE content with like-minded people. As well as being entertaining and informative, it is also a great opportunity for networking.

As with previous events, we are again offering our Bring Your Boss for Free tickets. See the ticketing page for details.

Info: Event registration. A chance to network and add yourself to our Low-Tech Social Network wall.

Info: Welcome to the event. A (brief) history of the BMI. Fears around MBSE.

Info: Guest speaker Fadl Isa discusses some of the leadership and industrial challenges around the adoption and use of MBSE.

Info: A taster session on Jessica's popular introductory 'Adventures in Systems Engineering' books and course.

Info: Make better decisions by selecting, applying and supporting the right systems thinking and model-based tools and techniques.

Info: The concluding part of the Adventures in Systems Engineering Taster.

Info: Quantum mechanics offer potential solutions to a lot of scary problems. Not least of these is keeping communications secure in a fast-approaching world where quantum computers can rapidly defeat even the best traditional encryption. Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) systems offer a long-term solution that is already employed in in a few real-world applications demanding high-security, such as large financial transactions. This talk will show how Loughborough University is using MBSE to build a dynamic approach to the security assurance of QKD links and networks that keeps pace with rapidly changing technology.

Info: Panel session with very early-career systems engineers who have recently joined NATS after undergoing an intense and intensive Systems Engineering course, discussing the fears that they had prior to the training and to taking on their new roles as Systems Engineers.

Info: A panel session discussing audience-suggested topics around MBSE fears. Close.

Info: Event registration. A chance to network and add yourself to our Low-Tech Social Network wall.

Info: Welcome to Day 2. Jon & Simon discuss MBSE fears submitted by delegates.

Info: An overview of Scarecrow's MBSE Leadership Programme

Info: An exploration of the role that models can play in facilitating dialogue and transcending knowledge boundaries in organisations.

Info: Dassault's Constantin Neascu discusses whether SysML 2 is MBSE's great hope or modelling hype.

Info: For years, MBSE has relied on SysML v1. Over the past decade, practitioners have developed a range of methodologies tailored to it. However, these methodologies and their language extensions cannot be directly transferred, as SysML v2 introduces a fundamentally different extension mechanism. At the same time, SysML v2 offers a variety of new capabilities that can strengthen and enhance existing practices.
Through the re-architecture of MagicGrid, the development of SysML v2 libraries for the Unified Architecture Framework v2, and hands-on experience migrating complex, large-scale client methodologies, we have explored the limits of SysML v2. This work has provided critical insights, revealing the strengths, limitations, and inherent complexity of SysML v2, as well as the effort required to transition SysML v1 methodologies to SysML v2.
From libraries to metadata, text to graphical representations, and tool enhancements, this presentation covers everything you need to tame the shark!

Info: Both Safety and Security are forms of Risk, but as a Systems Engineer, modelling and managing risk needs an understanding of not simply detecting the onset of a risky event, but the technical response (which differs from the project management response) to mitigate against unacceptable failures, and includes support for diagnosis, maintenance and repair.

We will look at Safety as our example and how we need to accommodate issues arising right from concept and initial design, even if the causes are not going to be detailed until technology and implementation choices are made. We will look at how key design and technology choices can be used to mitigate risks.

Additionally, whilst Safety and Security approaches and process steps may appear similar, we will identify how the design responses drive different, sometimes frustrating, solutions.
