View source for MBSE & Architecture

The MBSE & Architecture workstream is a joint initiative with the [https://incoseonline.org.uk/Groups/Architecture_Working_Group/Main.aspx?CatID=Groups&SubCat=Architecture_Working_Group Architecture Working Group], in order to understand the relationship between Model-Based Systems Engineering and Architecture

==Terms of Reference==


==Objectives==
{Provisional Working Objectives}
* Understand the relationship between the two topics
* Provide guidance for Architects working within an MBSE environment
* Influence the development of MBSE approaches, tools and techniques to ensure they meet the concerns of Architects and good Architecture Practice.

==Team==
The MBSE & Architecture workstream currently comprises the following members:

==Themes==
The group is currently engaged in investigating the following themes:

*[[Architecture & MBSE Concepts]] - An investigation of the key concepts, scope and overlap between 'Architecture' & 'MBSE'
*[[Architecture Landscape]] - An investigation into 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)

==Status Reports==

* [[MBSE & Architecture Plenery 05.11.19]]
* [[MBSE & Architecture Plenery 15.01.20]]
