AI4SE and SE4AI Exploration: A Decade Looking Back and Forward
H. Sinan Bank, Daniel R. Herber, Thomas Bradley
The March 2020 INCOSE INSIGHT special issue on AI and Systems Engineering (SE) became the most downloaded issue in the publication's history and launched a research community that…
Development of a Structured Approach for Establishing Mission Engineering Requirements
Taylor C. Fazzini, Daniel R. Herber
This paper addresses the question: How can mission effectiveness be systematically defined or approximated in the absence of customer requirements? Legacy requirements engineering…
Design-OS: A Specification-Driven Framework for Engineering System Design with a Control-Systems Design Case
H. Sinan Bank, Daniel R. Herber, Thomas H. Bradley
Engineering system design -- whether mechatronic, control, or embedded -- often proceeds in an ad hoc manner, with requirements left implicit and traceability from intent to parame…
A Framework and Prototype for a Navigable Map of Datasets in Engineering Design and Systems Engineering
H. Sinan Bank, Daniel R. Herber
The proliferation of data across the system lifecycle presents both a significant opportunity and a challenge for Engineering Design and Systems Engineering (EDSE). While this "dig…
GENAI WORKBENCH: AI-Assisted Analysis and Synthesis of Engineering Systems from Multimodal Engineering Data
H. Sinan Bank, Daniel R. Herber
Modern engineering design platforms excel at discipline-specific tasks such as CAD, CAM, and CAE, but often lack native systems engineering frameworks. This creates a disconnect wh…
Retrieval Augmented (Knowledge Graph), and Large Language Model-Driven Design Structure Matrix (DSM) Generation of Cyber-Physical Systems
H. Sinan Bank, Daniel R. Herber
We explore the potential of Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and Graph-based RAG (GraphRAG) for generating Design Structure Matrices (DSMs). We t…
