Prof. Dr. Andrea D'Ambrogio is professor of computer science at the University of Roma "Tor Vergata" (Italy), where is director of the post graduate one-year degree in "Systems Engineering”. He has formerly been research associate at the Concurrent Engineering Research Center of the West Virginia University (USA).

Andrea D'Ambrogio's research interests are in the systems and software engineering field, specifically in the areas of engineering and validation of system performance and dependability, model-driven engineering, business process management and distributed simulation.

In such areas he has participated to several projects at both European and overseas level and has authored more than 100 journal/conference papers.

He is member of the editorial board of Simulation Practice and Theory (SIMPAT), IAENG International Journal of Computer Science (IJCS) and International Journal of Software Architecture (IJSA). He has served as chair and/or member of the program committee of various international conferences, and has been general chair of SCS/ACM/IEEE TMS 2014 and IEEE WETICE 2008. He started the series of international workshops on "collaborative modeling and simulation" (IEEE CoMetS) and on 
"model-driven approaches for simulation engineering" (SCS/ACM/IEEE Mod4Sim), and is member of the management committee of the ICT COST Action on "Multi-Paradigm Modelling for Cyber-Physical Systems" (MPM4CPS).

He is member of IEEE, IEEE Computer Society, ACM, SCS and INCOSE.

The traditional document-based engineering approach spreads information across many different domains and various format files, such as textual documents, drawings, spreadsheets, or presentation slides, and thus constantly endeavors with increasing demands of system complexity, variability, team productivity, and quality. Engineering disciplines, such as mechanical, electrical, or controls engineering, utilize models as integral parts of their practice, but these models still remain isolated.

The Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach emphasizes the need of a coherent system model to integrate all the aspects of design and provide a shared view of the system, which can drive communication and coordination across the teams. This accelerates system development lifecycles as well as helps to ensure consistency and traceability across requirements, design, and verification.

This presentation highlights the benefits of the MBSE approach, state-of-the-art MBSE tooling capabilities, discusses current engineering trends and near future directions.

Nerijus Jankevicius is a Product Manager at No Magic Inc, managing and envisioning the Model-Based Systems Engineering environment development. During 17 years at No Magic, he was actively and deeply involved into development of MagicDraw, SysML plugin and Cameo Simulation Toolkit, helping to make them one of the most recognized MBSE solutions on the market.

During more than 10 years, Nerijus also contributed to UML and SysML standards working groups at Object Management Group (OMG), becoming one of the leading UML/SysML experts and consultants, one of the first OMG Certified Advanced UML 2.0 Professionals in Europe.

Nerijus delivered workshops and trainings in Systems Modeling and Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) at major facilities in research and industry like NASA/JPL, Bombardier Transportation, GE Transportation, Kongsberg Defense & Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney Canada, BAE Systems and MITRE, gave various presentations and talks at international conferences.

Lucio Tirone is Technical Director at Aster S.p.A., he has over 15 years of field experience, the first half of which spent consolidating his Electromagnetic background, in the development of object oriented software for the computation of e.m. propagation in complex urban/non-urban environments. Since then he has been involved in Systems Engineering activities for the analysis, design, implementation and validation of large technological projects in the Defense, Aerospace and Transport sectors. Certified INCOSE CSEP since 2012, and OCSMP since 2015, he is currently President of the Italian Association of Systems Engineering - INCOSE Italia Chapter.

MBSE activities provide very high value during the design of complex systems: as a design language, as an early Validation & Verification method, and as a risk mitigation strategy. When the design is finished, and the final product delivered to the client, are MBSE activities reaching a dead-end?

We will show how MBSE can still be applied after Entry-Into-Service of an Aircraft, in the aeronautic sector, by showing examples and new strategies to be developed, like reusing models for troubleshooting purpose, or applying MBSE to post Entry-Into-Service modifications.

Julián Muñoz is a System Engineer and consultant, working for Altran on Airbus projects, currently applying Model Based System Engineering for Civil Aircrafts. He previously participated as a Work Package leader for a team of 8 consultants-system engineers specialized on controls and monitoring

Previously, for another company, he developed a project for DO-178b certifiable on-board software, applied to Unmanned Aircraft Vehicles.

The Verification, Validation and Testing activities were part of the humanity and in particular way of engineer’s community well before the Systems Engineering elicitation.

An immense literature of methodologies and application cases is available to specific and, less diffused, to general purposes.Systematic thinking aggregates naturally these activities into its SE technical processes enhancing reciprocal value with and by means of the interactions with all the other technical and managerial processes.

Increasing challenges driven by systems complexity, cost and time development time reductions could be compensated by advancements in testing facilities, modelling, methodological and technological advancements.

Recent ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288:2015, INCOSE. 2015. Systems Engineering Handbook: A Guide for System Life Cycle Processes and Activities, version 4.0 and SEBoK v 1.5.1 recent updates highlight the lately emerged relations with all the other Systems engineering processes.

This lecture proposes, starting from the past forecasts, through highlights of the present challenges and leveraging on ready and nearly available opportunities, one view the state of the art of the VVT activities.

Issues and constrains are proposed and success cases are mentioned for sharing, collect comments and suggestions in order to increase the holistic viewpoint in a value-based application of the well established and opportunistic application of VVT practice.

Prof. Dr. Carlo Leardi graduated 1989 in electronic engineering in Genova Italy. His professional background starts with quality assurance responsibility evolving in the last years to full verification, validation and testing commitment within complex systems development deployment projects in the following areas: automotive, freight railways and packaging industry. As a passion before and today as a full job, he is dealing with Quantitative Systems Engineering on a day-to-day application and coaching of a full range of statistical and simulation methodologies supporting the decisional process. He published several articles in Engineering and Systems Engineering journals. He is one of the founders and past President of the INCOSE Italian Chapter and of AISE. He teaches in the Systems Engineering Masters in Tor Vergata and ForteMare in La Spezia.
