Motivation

Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) has emerged as a promising approach for developing complex systems in a cost-effective and efficient manner. It promotes the systematic use of models throughout the engineering process, facilitating effective representation of system artifacts and supporting various activities involved in development.

Objective

The 1st Workshop on MBSE aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from industry and academia interested in the use of models and modeling for systems engineering. The workshop provides a platform to share experiences, best practices, and solutions, as well as discuss the latest advances, challenges, and future directions in MBSE and associated languages (e.g., SysML and Arcadia/Capella), techniques, and tools.

Topics of Interest

We invite submissions related to the application of SysML in modeling systems and its impact on system development and engineering processes. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Best practices for implementing MBSE in different domains (e.g., aerospace, automotive, defense, etc.)
  • Experience reports on the benefits and challenges of using MBSE in different domains
• Tooling and automation for MBSE
• Machine learning and Artificial Intelligence (ML/AI) technologies in systems modeling
• Model-based systems engineering process improvement, including:
  • Data-driven optimization of simulated product development processes using machine learning and analytics
  • Notations and languages for CI/CD process simulation and testing
• MBSE for system validation and verification

Submission Guidelines

Submissions must adhere to the IEEE formatting instructions, for which An Overleaf template is available here. We accept the following submisstions:

• Short papers (5 pages)
• Full papers (10 pages)
• Extended abstracts (200 words)
  • Work in Progress: Submit an extended abstract detailing your ongoing research, experiments, or projects related to MBSE.
  • Position/Vision Statements: Share your perspectives, insights, and visions regarding MBSE practices, methodologies, or emerging trends.
  • Tool Demos: Present a practical demonstration of a tool, framework, or solution that contributes to the field of MBSE.

The papers must follow the same style and format as the main tracks of the Conference. Submit your workshop proposal electronically in PDF using the EasyChair submission site https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mbse23. All submissions will undergo a peer-review process by the program committee. Submissions that do not adhere to the formatting instructions may be desk-rejected without review.

Accepted short and full papers will be included in the workshop proceedings. For accepted abstract contributions, inclusion of a joint description will be considered.
