Chapter Overview16 April 2009North Star Chapter Spring Tutorial
• Identifies the elements and benefits of a complete, proven system engineering process• Demonstrates its applicability and contribution towards project success using vignettes
from sample Systems and System of Systems (SoS) applications. • Illustrates, using examples from Vitech’s CORE systems engineering tool, how the
model-based system engineering process supports both document-driven and model-based paradigms for milestone reviews; and also top-down, middle-out, or reverse engineering environments.
• Discusses how to know when each element of the process has been completed, and how to develop and validate functional and physical architectures using executable architectures.

An Early System Specification• Genesis 6:13-16
So God said to Noah, “... make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high. Make a roof for it and finish the ark to within 18 inches of the top. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks…”
