Outcomes and Perspectives from the 4th ESA ModelBased Space Systems and Software Engineering Workshop (MBSE2023) on reducing the gap between model-based systems engineering and domain-specific approaches

In the context of its initiative to promote the adoption of model-based approaches in the development of present and upcoming missions, the European Space Agency (ESA) organised this year its annual workshop on Model-Based Space Systems and Software Engineering (MBSE2023) at its European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) premises. The aim of this year's workshop was to investigate how the model-based systems engineering community could contribute to bridging the gap with domain-specific model-based approaches used in subsystem design. The World Café Method was used to facilitate the group discussions, the outcomes of which are summarized and presented in this paper.
