He is presently Director of sector EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) of INCOSE for the period 2014-2020. He has been Technical Director of INCOSE in 2011-2012 and President of AFIS in 2007-2008. Jean-Claude has been a member and co-author of the BKCASE project (Body of Knowledge and Curriculum to Advance Systems Engineering) and co-author of the INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook V4.0 which has been released in July 2015. He is presently the Chair of the INCOSE WG on Project Management-Systems Engineering Integration.

He is certified ESEP (Expert Systems Engineering Professional) from INCOSE. He is graduated Engineer from PolyTech’ LILLE in 1980.

An overview of the activities developed by the French, Italian and Spanish INCOSE chapters.

In most Systems Engineering approaches we need to manipulate «Function» concept. In SysML this concept does not natively exist in the notation but there are several concepts that can fit. We propose a whole picture to be able to choose the right representation in the context of a given project. We are looking for «optimal» approach (best compromise) between different notations in order to get something efficient, consistent and executable according with project objectives.

Xavier Dorel is responsible in Schneider-Electric for defining and deploying Abstract Modelling (including support, and research program). He is also responsible for working with external companies and associations (AFIS, etc.).

He joined Schneider Electric (Merlin Gerin) in 1988 as a Software Technical Leader and during 10 years, he leads several projects: Synapse, ISIS 300 S, Isis 2000, NCP, Sepam serie 40 and 80.

5 years as Software Discipline Leader with actions around CMM (reach level 2 within an organization of 50 people) and CMMI. 2 years as manager of a System verification team. And since 10 years, working to infuse Systems Engineering in Schneider, first in Partner Business and since 7 years at Corporate level. In parallel, many external actions as expert for ANR (French research agency), Minalogic, and AFIS.

A description of the activities in the Spanish Chapter of INCOSE.

Mr. Jose Fuentes received his degree in Computer Science in Carlos III University of Madrid (2003). Now, he’s CCO at The REUSE Company, accountable of the definition of Requirements Quality Suite. For many years he has been involved in the definition of tools, techniques and methodologies aimed to increase the quality and the reusability of both software and system engineering projects. Both working for The REUSE Company, but also as an Associate Teacher at University Carlos III of Madrid, he has leaded different workpackages in different European projects such as CRYSTAL or AUTOSoft. He’s member of the Spanish Chapter of INCOSE.

Grea-T is used to accompanying the industrial projects in upstream stage of Need elicitation to make converge the various stakeholders (marketing, technical) on a definition of Need consistent with the strategy and the project objectives. CIL4Sys Engineering is specialized in the Model Based System Engineering and the functional simulation during upstream stages of the projects. Together, they built and implemented successfully a complete and consistent approach which offers the opportunity to the stakeholders to visualize, from the first discussions, in a virtual environment the scenarios with the end user point of view. Grea-T and CIL4Sys presents an illustrated case of application.

Stéphane Grea. Before creating GREAT (www.great.engineering) consulting company, Stéphane worked for 8 years in the automotive industry, for OEMs and Engineering Companies. During his career, he has led several transformation programs in the field of systems and management with significant outcomes (such as implementation of competitiveness for OEMs or performance programs on innovative systems).

He has also managed operational entities within a range of $1 million to $50 million budgets, at several levels of organization from Team Management, Head of Department to Chief Operations Officer with international exposure.

He joined consulting field to share his experience and knowledge with various clients, with a direct and pragmatic approach. Today his mission is to support clients setting new standards of excellence in their industries.

David Villemur. Graduated of a Master in Engineering of Intelligent Systems at the university Paul Sabatier in Toulouse, he practiced at first system modelling in the field of the Human-machine interfaces in the Automotive domain. In December, 2015, he joined CIL4Sys company where he contributes to the development of the tooled chain “Sim4Sys”, and realizes projects of model-based and simulation design for various customers.

Both textual requirements and models clearly represent a key input for the verification loop and, in turn, are vital to the overall quality of a system. This talk shows the first steps towards high-quality projects by properly implementing a fully-automatized systems verification process.

INCOSE Human-Systems Integration (HSI) Working Group is currently updating the SEBoK and further the SE Handbook as far as HSI is concerned. The HSI discipline is making lots of progress. During my talk, I will start a discussion on this topic by promoting the combination of systems Engineering and human-centered design (HCD) toward HSI. Today, HCD is possible! It is possible to consider human factors seriously very early during the design process by developing visual prototypes and human-in-the-loop simulations to further elicit emergent behaviors and properties that will be integrated into requirements. In addition, the HCD process continues during the whole life cycle of a system. I will emphasize a specific field of investigation: HCD of autonomous complex systems. More precisely, I will show how we can shift from conventional rigid automation to flexible autonomy. Finally, the current digitalization of our world leads to the emerging tangibility issue. During the 20th century, we shifted from hardware to software (i.e., we automated mechanical machines); since the beginning of the 21st century, we are shifting from software to hardware (i.e., we are 3D printing software). I will address tangibility from two perspectives: physical and figurative.

Prof. Guy A. Boy, Ph.D. (Chair, INCOSE Human-Systems Integration Working Group)

A significant aspect of product life cycle management is to ensure the provisioning of supporting systems which are vital in sustaining operation of the product. It is vital to have a holistic view when defining, producing, and operating system products and services. System Engineering supports the ILS execution of the twelve integrated product support elements of a sustainment program to ensure the system meets operational performance requirements in the most cost-effective manner over its total remaining life cycle.

Christophe Ducamp is – Senior Expert Design for Lifecycle at irbus Defence & Space.

This presentation will reveal the main challenges and best practices typically found in today’s large organizations regarding the implementation of Product Line Engineering (PLE). In particular, the most common “pain points” and smarter approaches in the implementation of PLE in different industrial sectors will be shared. In the same way, the impact on enterprise and Systems Engineering processes and practices will be illustrated. The presentation is intended to participants who are new to PLE or who want to improve the implementation of PLE in their organizations. If you are concerned about improving your profitability, cost effectiveness and times to market, while simultaneously improving the quality of your products, come and find out how PLE can help.
