TOOLS INTEGRATION INTEREST GROUP REPORT: SCENARIOS FOR A CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS FOR AN INTEGRATED SYSTEMS ENGINEERING ENVIRONMENT, Part II

Abstract

ABSTRACTThe Tools Integration and Interoperability Working Group (TIWG) is developing a Concept of Operations and a Specification for an Integrated Systems Engineering Environment (ISEE). Last year's TIWG Report (Reference 1) focused on the development of an initial set of scenarios leading toward the development of the full Concepts of Operations. This paper collects the next set of three scenarios which have been developed. The scenarios presented address: (1) the process of defining an organizational systems engineering process; (2) the set of processes associated with administration of an ISEE as part of an organization's information infrastructure; and (3) the process of assessing an organization's systems engineering capability. Based on these process oriented scenarios, we discuss the requirements which an integrated tool suite will have to meet to provide user's with the desired capabilities. The discussion also addresses the technological needs and feasibility of developing an ISEE.
