Welcome It is my honor and pleasure as Conference Chair to welcome you on behalf of the Organizing Commi%ee to Atlanta and Georgia Tech for the 2013 Conference on Systems Engineering Research. A+er months of prepara2on, the moment has come to join friends and colleagues for four days of intense intellectual s0mula0on and as many days of rekindling friendships and developing new ones. I hope you will enjoy the conference, expand your knowledge, and become reinvigorated in your dedica1on to Systems Engineering research. The theme of this year’s conference — Addressing Societal Needs in Next Genera3on Systems — reflects the broadening of Systems Engineering from its original focus on aerospace and defense systems toward an array of new applica2ons that are impac+ng society more significantly than could possibly have been an6cipated even a decade ago. Systems Engineering principles, methods, and tools are now being applied not only across engineering domains, but also in health care, finance, and socio-‐poli%cal contexts. Although these are important successes for our field, there is s4ll opportunity for innova4on. I am confident this conference will contribute toward this con3nued progress. Another indica-on of the growing importance of Systems Engineering is that the conference is expanding rapidly. This year, we received more than 200 abstracts and 170 full papers. A"er careful peer review, 124 were selected for oral presenta8on and for inclusion in the conference proceedings. I hope the interac*ons at this year’s conference will inspire your con$nued par$cipa$on and that you will encourage your peers to join us next year. Finally, I would like to thank all who helped make this conference possible, including the authors, reviewers, program commi,ee, and local organizing commi,ee. I would specifically like to thank Carlee Bishop and Doug Bodner for leading the development of the conference program, and Mason Hollandbeck for making all the local arrangements. Without all of you this conference would never have happened.

Sincerely,

Chris Paredis, Ph.D. Conference Chair Associate Professor and Woodruff Faculty Fellow G.W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering Georgia Institute of Technology

The Conference on Systems Engineering Research (CSER) was founded in 2002 by Stevens Institute of Technology and the University of Southern California.

Challenges with Deploying Complex Systems of Systems: Some Perspectives Abstract: The greatest challenges in the delivery of complex systems of systems are seldom limited to the integration of disparate technologies. Rather, the non-‐technical challenges presented by the economic landscape, political climate, and stakeholder equity as well as the culture into which the system of systems will be inserted are often as crucial to successful delivery of the product as the viability of the technologies involved. Biography:

Victoria Cox is a former FAA assistant administrator for NextGen, which is the ongoing transformation of the nation’s air transportation system. NextGen has been called one of the most complex systems integration challenges ever undertaken by the federal government. Over a career spanning more than 30 years, Cox has been responsible for the management and delivery of numerous cutting-‐edge technologies. Her past positions include director of International Technology Programs in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, DoD laboratory liaison to the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Science and Technology, and chief of physics and scientific director of the European Office of Aerospace Research and Development.

Formal Model-‐Based Design & Manufacture: A Template for Managing Complexity in Large-‐Scale Cyber-‐Physical Systems

Abstract: The traditional top-‐down systems engineering process is inadequate for coping with the increasing complexity, dynamic coupling, and cyber-‐physical interactions of modern large-‐scale systems such as aerospace systems. We will consider how other domains have coped with this complexity and posit a template for a new approach, which would include: (1) the ability to formally unify the semantics of domain-‐specific dynamical models of all the physical and digital domains in the system; (2) tools for reasoning about, visualizing, and analyzing the design at varying levels of hierarchical and model abstraction across domains; (3) co-‐verification of the design against requirements models using simulation and formal methods; (4) model-‐based characterization of the manufacturing ecosystem and feedback of manufacturability considerations as formal constraints on the design trade space; and (5) novel approaches to the structure of design and manufacturing organizations. The talk will conclude with a progress report from DARPA’s ongoing Adaptive Vehicle Make (AVM) effort.

Biography:

Paul Eremenko was most recently deputy director and acting director of the Tactical Technology Office (TTO) at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) of the U.S. Department of Defense. TTO is the office responsible for advanced space systems, X-‐planes, robotics, and manufacturing. Previously, Eremenko was program manager in TTO, where he conceived, developed, and managed DARPA's Adaptive Vehicle Make (AVM) advanced manufacturing portfolio which encompasses the META design and verification tool chains, the iFAB factory of the future, and the Fast, Adaptable, Next-‐Generation Ground Vehicle (FANG) programs, as well as the VehicleFORGE collaborative design environment and the MENTOR educational outreach effort. Eremenko also served as architect and manager for the System F6 fractionated spacecraft on-‐orbit demonstrator, the InSPIRE experiment on the International Space Station, and the 100 Year Starship. Prior to joining DARPA, Eremenko was a strategy and technology consultant with the aerospace practice of a major international consultancy. He began his career as an aircraft design engineer. Eremenko received his bachelor’s and master’s in aeronautics from MIT and Caltech, respectively, followed by a JD from Georgetown University. He is also a licensed pilot.

Landing Curiosity: SE Challenges for NASA’s Newest Martian Abstract: On Aug. 5, 2012, NASA/JPL landed the most advanced planetary exploration rover yet: Curiosity. At 3m long, 900 Kg, and carrying ten times the payload mass of previous rovers, Curiosity is providing us with an unparalleled opportunity to investigate Mars. As previous projects have found, however, the road to the Red Planet is full of pitfalls. Original concepts included larger rovers, different landing systems, two individually controlled manipulator arms, and various launch dates. In addition, Curiosity was three missions combined — an interplanetary cruiser, an atmospheric maneuvering vehicle, and a surface explorer. A mitigating — and contributing — factor to this complexity was how much of the system capabilities were defined in re-‐programmable flight software. System engineering challenges for the project, then, included managing evolving system capabilities in hardware and software domains and developing test campaigns that covered both existing hardware and simulated environments and events. The culmination of this effort was being able to certify that the system design had adequate risk retirement to justify the project investment. The system engineering challenges of Curiosity, and the assessment of residual risk from this process, are especially relevant as JPL begins the development of a Curiosity-‐analog rover for a planned 2020 launch. Biography: Ann Devereaux worked on the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover project in delivering the UHF relay radios, becoming lead system engineer for the flight system and fault protection, and finally serving as deputy lead for the Entry, Descent and Landing team. An electrical and RF communications engineer with many years of technology development and hardware/software deliveries under her belt, Devereaux has made the transition into systems engineering through the venerable school of hard knocks. Currently, she is deputy manager for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Systems and Software Division, as well as reprising the lead flight system engineer role for the new 2020 rover.
