It serves as a standardized framework to represent architectural elements, support interdisciplinary collaboration, and ensure alignment with stakeholder needs. Principal objectives include enabling rigorous validation, early architectural assessments, and systematic knowledge repositories for predictable design outcomes. The metamodel standardizes architectural concepts and their relationships and promotes a universal understanding and collaborative development of them. It provides a conceptual framework that enables embedding structured scientifically grounded bodies of knowledge and approaches into the systems engineering process, facilitating data-driven decisions, improving transparency, and reducing risks associated with late-stage design decisions. It enables continuous enhancement of bodies of knowledge to support dynamic, scalable, and repeatable engineering processes that keep pace with evolving system demands.","PeriodicalId":100663,"journal":{"name":"INCOSE International Symposium","volume":"35 1","pages":"1658-1672"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145248685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This need for system resiliency is outlined by many sources, including the INCOSE Systems Vision 2035 document, as a part of the future of systems engineering and engineering in general. Finding solutions to improve systems resiliency, however, is often easier said than done. In the case of faulted and malicious agents the solutions in current literature lean towards consensus or identifying the source of a problem before it can become a problem. In this work we propose an approach that uses the behaviors identified in ant species to increase system resilience in spite of the presence of faults. The hypothesis is thus: “If insect inspired communication and spatial heterogeneity strategies are applied to a searching swarm, then the system's overall resiliency to spreading faults will improve, because these strategies reduce the likelihood of communication between faulted agents and those agents prone to encountering sources of faults.” In this work we present a simulated unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarm that is tasked with randomly searching the simulation space with the goal of reaching 100% search success. Within the simulated space are Threat vectors that can induce a fault in agents within their connection range. Upon receiving a faulted message, an analog for malware, a receiving agent may become infected. If so, they will begin spreading the infection themselves, thus propagating the infection. Our findings suggest the two tested strategies greatly improves fault resilience, when both strategies are implemented no tests ended with full fault propagation. This is a large improvement over the control group's 85.6% of scenarios resulting in full fault propagation and loss of the swarm.","PeriodicalId":100663,"journal":{"name":"INCOSE International Symposium","volume":"35 1","pages":"1406-1417"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145248626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Watson","doi":"10.1002/iis2.70091","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/iis2.70091","url":null,"abstract":"Modern cyber-physical systems are becoming increasingly complex, as they integrate digital and physical components to achieve higher levels of efficiency and connectivity. This complexity introduces new vulnerabilities and operational threats to the systems that are hard to predict or deal with. Resilience Engineering (RE) has emerged as a field that focuses on the ability of systems to withstand, adapt to, or recover from disruption or unexpected events, as opposed to traditional risk management methods that rely on reducing variability and uncertainty. However, RE approaches are very diverse and lack consistency, hindering the chances for more adoption, which ultimately impacts the ability to manage complex systems efficiently. This paper explores the use of Bifurcation Analysis to identify resilience capabilities in critical infrastructures. We apply a Bifurcation Analysis for resilience framework to the IEEE 9-Bus power system to analyze its resilience and operational condition under different levels of loading stress. Eigenvalue and continuation analysis are performed to address system stability and to measure absorptive, adaptive, and recovery capabilities. The contributions are the demonstration of the application of the framework to a power system, identifying critical points, and an expansion of the framework by recommending different metrics for different resilient capabilities. The results confirm the utility of the framework to understand and enhance resiliency in critical infrastructure. Future work can be done to address the scalability to larger systems, add operations, and increase simulation complexity.","PeriodicalId":100663,"journal":{"name":"INCOSE International Symposium","volume":"35 1","pages":"1845-1859"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145248690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While these perceived drawbacks are often described, they are only rarely explained – it is unclear what exactly about MBSE is challenging to use and learn, and how to determine whether new approaches mitigate this challenge. It this work, we propose a theory for explanation for three observations: (1) MBSE is more appreciated by non-system engineers, than by those that create the models, (2) system models, particularly in the early stage, are used for communication and rarely for automation, and (3) graphical notation is seen as both the major advantage of MBSE and a big drawback when learning it. We use a cognitive framework based on semiotics, conceptual spaces and naturalness and provide a first explanation of these observations: A graphical model can be interpreted either in terms of the domain it models, or in terms of the language it is expressed in. These two interpretations are in parallel when a user interprets a model and can interfere, which leads to problems in understanding.","PeriodicalId":100663,"journal":{"name":"INCOSE International Symposium","volume":"35 1","pages":"337-347"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145248717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Enterprise maintenance solutions are a key product support activity in the United States Department of Defense that must balance safety, economics, and operations. To guide and regulate enterprise reliability and maintainability decisions, several programs, policies, and standards govern various aspects of a system's product support and sustainment domain. While this body of enterprise knowledge prescribes what to do, it intentionally enables organizations to decide how they want to collaborate and organize to make enterprise-level reliability and maintainability decisions. In contrast, much of the academic literature focuses on how to make closed form organization-level reliability and maintainability decisions, but does not address the complexities and implications of involving multiple heterogeneous organizations.To this end, this research seeks to develop enterprise architecture viewpoints and views to characterize the interdependencies, interactions, and integration of reliability and maintainability solutions across organizations. These architectures provide improved traceability and domain understanding of enterprise reliability and maintainability decisions to advance product support and sustainment outcomes. A notional United States Air Force commercial derivative aircraft serves as an exemplar of how these enterprise architectures identify enterprise actors and their exchanges to develop a reliability and maintainability decision-making framework. Together, this framework and its enterprise context guide the design of a decision support tool for enterprise reliability and maintainability solutions. Finally, applications of enterprise reliability and maintainability architectures are discussed to enable novel Digital Product Support strategies in the United States Department of Defense.","PeriodicalId":100663,"journal":{"name":"INCOSE International Symposium","volume":"35 1","pages":"169-187"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145248762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

WTD 71, the German Navy's Research Institute, is to do this development and is investigating possibilities for unmanned systems. In this process, H. Henriksen AS has been chosen as the industrial partner to develop and manufacture the physical system. In this paper, we explore how the A3 Architecture Overview (A3AO) method can be used for communication in developing a new unmanned minesweeping system. Through interviews and observations in a small Norwegian company in the marine and naval industry, we found challenges related to system and project overviews. These were mostly caused by communication challenges and a lack of common understanding among stakeholders. We also identified a knowledge gap in the subject of minesweeping. To support the challenge of not having an overview of the system, we developed and tested A3AOs. Further, we altered the traditional A3AO to communicate the subject of minesweeping and an overview of the project. The industry resources appreciated the overviews and reported that they believed such methods would create value in projects.","PeriodicalId":100663,"journal":{"name":"INCOSE International Symposium","volume":"35 1","pages":"135-151"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145248725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It draws upon the work of Meadows, Martin, Sillitto and Salado, amongst others, to create a simple framework with potentially far-reaching exploitation.The aim of the framework is to break out of traditional mindsets that seek to understand the wider system context by simply drawing a boundary around the contracted for system and treating everything as either inside or outside. It is also a rebuttal to models which perpetuate the single system boundary myth and then seek to surround it with further layers of delivery and development “systems” rather than properly separating the concerns.It has been used in several “awareness” level courses on Systems Thinking, where it has proved to be easily digestible by students and gives a much richer point of departure for exploring Systems Engineering techniques than simply using a “poached egg” type model. In particular, the ability to use the framework to focus discussion into specific areas of concern enables students to more thoroughly explore the techniques that can be used to understand options, uncertainties and issues.","PeriodicalId":100663,"journal":{"name":"INCOSE International Symposium","volume":"35 1","pages":"53-67"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145248591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
