Organization

This workshop series is organized by the Georgia Tech Product & Systems Lifecycle Management Center (GIT PSLM Center) in cooperation with Collaborative Product Development Associates (CPDA)

This two-day event includes:
  • workshop on Developing a Design/Simulation Framework (May 15) organized by CPDA's Design/Simulation Council
  • workshop on Frontiers in Design & Simulation (May 16) organized by the Georgia Tech PSLM Center

Location

Theme: Model-Based Systems Development

Over the last decade, the development of many types of products has evolved into a systems integration problem.  Large numbers of sub-systems are integrated to achieve unparalleled functionality and reliability at an ever decreasing cost.  To continue this trend, there is a need for computer-based support that allows the knowledge and expertise of many domain experts to be shared, managed, and applied towards the thorough exploration of different system architectures while considering complex trade-offs between multiple objectives under uncertainty.  Supporting this complex endeavor is the focus of Model-Based Systems Development.

In this workshop, we will explore methodologies and state-of-the-art tools for addressing key aspects of Model-Based Systems Development, including:

  • How to model and support system-level design decisions in SysML?
  • How to model the behavior of systems effectively?
  • How to manage models for reuse?
  • How to explore and optimize systems of systems?
  • How to visualize system-level trade spaces effectively in support of
    collaborative decision-making?

This Workshop targets industrial practitioners who are interested in learning about the leading edge in methods and tools for model-based systems design, and academics who are interested in exploring how they can bridge the gap between current research topics and industry practice. The workshop will allow for in-depth discussions based on presentation by experts.
