Presidents Word

Having just returned from the INCOSE International

Symposium, I have to report that this year s

symposium was a delightful success. I was elated that

many of members were able to attend. In addition,

our chapter was also fortunate to host a small

reception for our WMA chapter members. Now, it is

back to business as normal (as normal as our jobs will

let it). I hope to see everyone at the August Dinner

Meeting.

Sincerely,

Steven H. Dam

INCOSE WMA President

August Dinner Meeting Abstract

Just to whet your appetite below is the abstract

for the upcoming dinner meeting entitled

Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC).

To fulfill its mission, systems engineering must

expand its capabilities and reinforce its relevancy;

the methods, processes and tools applied must

evolve to meet the needs of current and futuresystems. The Systems Engineering Research

Center was created to solve this problem.The SERC, a US Department of Defense and ty

The SERC, a US Department of Defense and intelligence community University Affiliated

Research Center (UARC) in systems engineering research, was competitively awarded, in

September 2008, to a team of 18 collaborating institutions led by Stevens Institute of

Technology. Through its more than 150 collaborating world class thought leaders, SERC

embodies the potential to radically improve the application of systems engineering tothe successful development, integration, testing and sustainability of complex defense

and intelligence systems, services and enterprises.

SERC is addressing the most difficult systems engineering issues of the 21st century, and

frankly is focused on making systems engineering relevant in the face of the following

challenges:

1. Complexity: adaptive & emergent, technology growth

2. Criticality: essential to day to day life

3. Security: increasingly valuable & vulnerable

4. Time Compression:were all on internet time

5. Legacy: unplanned, ill-suited & growing

6. Workforce: great diversity, youth are perhaps best equipped for change &

virtualization

This session presented to the Washington Metro INCOSE Chapter will provide a brief

background on the SERC, and will delve into a couple of current research topics,

including a framework for transforming systems engineering into a 21 st century leading

profession.

Stephen P. Welby, Director of Systems Engineering, Office of the Under Secretary ofDefense

Today's Systems Engineers confront a number of issues that challenge the traditional

practice of systems engineering, from the growing complexity and criticality of our

systems, to our increasing need to provide robust and agile solutions to urgent and

changing needs. The SERC is an important asset to the Department of Defense as we

seek to advance the state of systems engineering practice, and as we move to grow our

national engineering competencies to meet these emerging challenges and produce the

military systems our nation needs.

Pat Hale, President, INCOSE 2008-2009

Systems Engineering research is vital to advancing the state of the art in our profession,

and the SERC is the most promising and sustainable systems engineering research

initiative in America todayINCOSE is proud to support the goals of the center and its

sponsors.

See you in August!
