Objectives
- Understand the relationship between Architecture / Architecting & MBSE
- Guide Architects working within an MBSE environment
- Advise organisations transitioning to Model-Based Architecting (as part of an overall MBSE strategy)
- Influence the development of MBSE approaches, tools and techniques to ensure they meet the concerns of Architects and good Architecture Practice.
Themes
The group is currently engaged in investigating the following themes:
- Landscape & Concepts - An investigation of the key concepts, scope and overlap between 'Architecture' & 'MBSE' plus the landscape of architecture frameworks, modelling languages, ontologies and tools
- Architecting Processes - Investigation into different architecting processes using models
- Transition - Guidance on the considerations required to manage the transition from document-centric architecting to model-based architecting
- Model Kinds - Investigation into the different kinds of models and how they should be used, including automation
- Digital Engineering - Investigation into how architecture and models fit as part of 'Digital Engineering’ (See also: Digital Twin & Thread)
