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…
OPENJ: A Conceptual Framework for Open-Source Digital Human Modeling and Ergonomic Assessment in a CAD Environment
Sinan Bank, Casey E. Eaton
Industrial workplace challenges range from musculoskeletal disorders -- a leading cause of occupational injury -- to suboptimal workstation layouts, inefficient task sequences, and…
FusionCut: Boundary Representation (B-Rep) Based and Cloud-Ready Cutter Workpiece Engagement (CWE) for Virtual Machining
H. Sinan Bank, N. Bircan Bugdayci
Cutter-workpiece engagement (CWE) is the instantaneous contact geometry between the cutter and the in-process workpiece, playing a fundamental role in machining process simulation…
A Data-Driven Analysis for Engineering Conferences: The Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineering (IISE) Annual Conference Proceedings (2002-2025)
H. Sinan Bank, Casey E. Eaton
Charting the intellectual evolution of a scientific discipline is crucial for identifying its core contributions, challenges, and future directions. The IISE Annual Conference proc…
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…
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…
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…
CatalogBank: A Structured and Interoperable Catalog Dataset with a Semi-Automatic Annotation Tool (DocumentLabeler) for Engineering System Design
Hasan Sinan Bank, Daniel R. Herber
In the realm of document engineering and Natural Language Processing (NLP), the integration of digitally born catalogs into product design processes presents a novel avenue for enh…
