Development of high-tech systems is a complex task done by diverse specialists distributed across the globe. Reference architectures including a clear functional breakdowns can support them and support their decisions. This presentation proposes an approach to improve the development of advanced electron microscopes by using Capella as an authoritative source of information. To support design decisions, a Capella AddOn has been developed to obtain quantitative information, such as throughput numbers, for a particular workflow. First, we will illustrate how functional and system decompositions can be captured and serve as company-wide architecting assets to inform design decisions. Next, we will outline how simulating Capella models can bring valuable insights to modelers. During a demo, we’ll simulate Capella’s Functional chains using the open-source simulation tool POOSL (https://github.com/eclipse/poosl) , and visualize results using the freely available TRACE4CPS tool (https://www.eclipse.org/trace4cps/). Re-using functions from the reference architecture allows us reason about design aspects such as the relation between throughput and design choices about function allocation and parallelism.

The document discusses adapting the TOGAF enterprise architecture framework to have whole-enterprise scope rather than just focusing on IT. It proposes a stepped maturity model with 7 "stepping stones" to gradually expand the architecture's coverage. Each step builds on the previous to ultimately integrate all of an organization's business, people, information, and physical assets. The steps are described as preparing foundations, building an enterprise overview, rationalizing existing systems, guiding strategic change, designing for real-world constraints, and pulling everything together into a service-oriented enterprise.

Agile began in 1990 due to long development times between business needs and applications. In 2001, 17 leaders created the Agile Manifesto valuing individuals, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change. Popular frameworks include SAFe for large enterprises, LeSS for multiple teams, Scrum of Scrums, Scrum@Scale, and DAD's toolkit approach. Kanban also provides visualization and flow techniques. Adoption focuses on productivity gains while transformation changes culture and structures over years.
A very short and compact introduction to the great field of Systems (Design and) Engineering. I gave this presentation on September 7th at the Opening of the Industry Academy at University College of Southeast Norway, in Kongsberg, Norway.

Modeling & Simulation of CubeSat-based Missions'Concept of OperationsObeo
Discover how Arcadia/Capella is used to model and simulate concept of operations scenarios for CubeSat-based missions. During this webinar, Danilo Pallamin de Almeida, who worked as a Space Systems Engineer for the NanosatC-BR2 mission at INPE, the Brazilian Institute for Space Research, will present how CubeSat-based missions have been modeled with Capella.
The model describing an initial architecture mission and concept of operations (CONOPS) is used to generate a script that configures a satellite simulator with the corresponding mission parameters.
You will see how it allows the INPE to:
- run concept of operations scenarios simulations,
- use the results for power/data-budget analyses and trade studies
The document discusses agile program and portfolio management. It begins by stating that adopting agile practices requires organizational transformation, not just overlaying processes. It then covers topics like agile competencies across different levels (team, program, portfolio, enterprise), managing work across time horizons (continuous, daily, iteration, release, strategic), and using story maps to decompose work from epics to features to user stories. Finally, it discusses key aspects of agile such as sprinting, velocity, and prioritizing minimally marketable features.
Technology is an integral part of business. Development or adoption of new technology can lead to competitive advantage. From a strategic perspective, technology should be seen as the enabler of the business model to create and deliver value to customers. It is the means rather than the end goal. With this in mind, companies should develop a formal Technology Strategy to support their business objectives. This presentation puts forward a simple framework called the Technology Strategy Canvas.

The lecture will close with how the Brazilian Secretary of Education changed the Brazilian Engineering Courses Guidelines to incorporate Systems Thinking and the opportunity to use Arcadia, and Capella – being free/opensource – as a common Systems Engineering Core.
Building an Agile framework that fits your organisationKurt Solarte
The document discusses strategies for scaling agile practices within large organizations. It provides an overview of IBM's transformation to agility at scale, including challenges faced and key principles learned. The presentation emphasizes adopting an incremental approach, addressing people, processes, and tools, and establishing governance to manage uncertainty and variance as an organization's agile adoption matures. It also provides examples of metrics that can be used to measure agile project and program performance.
Exploring Agile Transformation and Scaling PatternsMike Cottmeyer
The goal of any enterprise agile adoption strategy is NOT to adopt agile. Companies adopt agile to achieve better business outcomes. Large organizations have no time for dogma and one-size-fits-all thinking when it comes to introducing agile practices. These companies need pragmatic guidance for safely and incrementally introducing structure, principles, and ultimately practices that will result in greater long term, sustainable business results. This talk will introduce a framework for safely, pragmatically, and incrementally introducing agile to help you achieve your business goals.

Foundations of the Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe® ) 4.5netmind
El Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) es una base de conocimientos para adoptar métodos de trabajo ágiles en grandes organizaciones. SAFe presenta de forma gráfica un modelo de gestión para escalar la aplicación de las prácticas ágiles de un equipo a la gestión de programas, y de la gestión de programas al conjunto de la organización.
Este modelo para la adopción y transformación ágil de las organizaciones fué diseñado por Dean Leffingwell, a partir de sus libros “Agile Software Requeriments: Lean Requeriments for Teams Programs and the Enterprise” y “Scaling Software Agility: Best Practices for Large Enterprise”, y se ha implementado con éxito en grandes organizaciones de todo el mundo. 60 de las 100 compañías más grandes de Estados Unidos están utilizando SAFe como guía de referencia para la adopción de Agile.
El modelo de gestión propuesto por SAFe cubre el conjunto de la organización, desde los equipos, hasta los niveles de mayor responsabilidad. El modelo estructura en tres niveles: Equipo, Programa y Portfolio, aunque en la última versión, SAFe 4.0, introduce un 4º nivel opcional para soluciones de extremadamente grandes y complejas. Para cada uno de estos niveles SAFe define los roles, estructuras, actividades, artefactos, prácticas y técnicas adecuadas.
My objective with this presentation is to introduce the key frameworks and standards that provide practical guidance when tackling an EA project or implementing an EA capability.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

16. Six-Step Protocol Moves From Concept to
OpCon to CONOPS - Summary
1. Gather Needs and Ideas for Solutions (brainstorming with
Users and Requirements writers; broad, inclusive solicitation
of ideas from technologists, creative thinking)
2. Develop Concepts (empathic thinking, requirements
elicitation, lateral thinking outside primary domain)
3. Prioritize Concepts (scenario planning, honesty, AHP,
budgetary planning), write OCD
4. Place Selected Concept(s) in a Concept of Operations
(CONOPS), Concept of Employment (CONEMP) and Operating
Concept (OpCon)
5. Adjust Often (threats, tactics, techniques and procedures
[TTPS], processes)
6. Use It or Lose It! (All involved must employ the CONOPS,
every time. Not “optional”.)

17. A Good OCD Follows 5 Rules
1. Briefly describes need, solution and
operational uses (overviews of each)
2. Uses plain language
3. Is easy for non-experts to read
4. Is written from user’s perspective but
without too much user’s terms or slang
5. Uses a format that flows easily into
subsequent OpCon and CONOPS

19. A Formal CONOPS
• Different from a JOpsC, Architectural Concept, or
Operating Concept
• Very specific document
• Always built from Operating Concept(s)
• Discusses three key aspects:
– Past shortfalls that will be corrected
– Changes to make those corrections happen
– Benefits of the resulting system/arrangement
• Discusses user classes, scenarios, constraints,
assumptions, schedule
• Overkill for some situations

20. CONOPS Myths
1. Only the military services write CONOPS, not industry
2. OCDs, CONOPS, OpCons, CONEMPS: all are basically the same
thing, just different names
3. The [insert your favorite org or template] way is the only way
to build a good OCD or CONOPS
4. We don’t need a CONOPS for a new system until reqt’s are
written. Don’t know what user wants until then.
5. If we have an SOP/User Manual/training pgm, we don’t need a
CONOPS
6. If system entered service 10/20/30 years ago, it is too late for
OCD/CONOPS to be useful
7. The best person to write CONOPS & user docs is system

22. To Work Best With Engineers
• Clearly show the end goal
• Keep next two projects
visible
• Publicly show appreciation
• Take time to ask questions
and listen
• Learn to think like they do (logical thought and the scientific
method)
– Analytical vs empirical investigations
– Learn to analyze & question data

23. Disruptive Technology vs System
Visby Corvette photo courtesy of Rote
• Disruptive Technology: Write description of technology plus OpCon
• Put Into Disruptive System: Write OpCon and then CONOPS
– Implementation details may be unknown
– Discuss spectra of possible implementations, carrying top 2-3 through
CONOPS (esp scenarios)
– “Fielded System” outline OK since past & present N/A

24. Be Evidence-Based
in Judgment and Action
• That which is measured can be tracked. And that
which is tracked can be managed.
• Three Common Types of Evidence Often Cited
– Anecdotal: “I saw this happen once (twice, etc.) . . . ”
• Useful for forming hypotheses
• In medicine, “observational studies”
– Analytical: “Looking at the data, this ought to . . .“
– Empirical: “Let’s build one and test it.”
• Common at end of development programs (OT&E)
• In medicine, called clinical trials, uncontrolled and controlled (gold
standard is double-blind, placebo and required for human testing
of meds)

25. . . . And Then Don’t Blindly Trust ANY Data
(other peoples’ or your own)
Question the Data
• Used ALL of the available data Wide Applicability
(or selected data set to support a • Human census data
preferred conclusion aka cherry- • Biological surveys
picked)? • Performance data for systems,
• Conclusion is statistically components, devices, weapons,
significant (or taken from too sensors
small a data set)? • Claims for healthcare device or
• Strongly supports a conclusion product effectiveness, applicability
(but conclusion is just a little too • Comparisons of two things (watch
politically convenient)? for subtle bias in choice of “things”
• Biased in other ways? being juxtapositioned)
• Ask “who benefits?

26. “Bullets Are In Fwd Half of A/C, So You Are Flying
Through The Hail of Rounds: Slow Down To Be More
Survivable”
• Bullet holes WERE found
mainly in fwd half of
Phantoms
• But not because “flying
too fast through hail of
bullets”
• What were scientists
missing?

Your Actions Are Determined by Client’s Interests
Client’s Interest . . . Your Course of Action . . .
• Set up a new organization Mandatory
Progress Check
• Get people to accept new with Client
approach
• Offer new system Build CONOPS w/
Formal Template
• Host an exercise Build OpCon &
Scenarios
• Assess operational utility of a
system
– That is completely new
Build CONOPS w/
– That already exists Fielded Template
• Assess disruptive technology or Envision
rapidly build a prototype Technology in a

Modeling a new system:
•If modeling a new system in either an
existing or new operating environment
OpCon CONOPS 5.3 & 5.5 expect a challenging modeling effort
(shown as large “M”).
• The greatest challenge arises when
Modeling & Simulation (M&S) modeling a new system and simulating
Nodes a new environment (large “M” and “S”)
- - - Traditional Decision Points - - -
5.3 & 8.1
• Numbers refer to sections of Solid
Thinking’s “Formal Joint/Coalition
1. What do we want from the M&S effort? CONOPS” Table of Contents
2. What real-world things are we examining with the M&S?
• The contributions of the OpCon are
3. What systems/platforms should be modeled? shown on left side
4. At what fidelity? 4.1 5.3, 5.6, 5.9 6
5. What operational environment should be modeled?
6. What combination of systems/platforms is appropriate?
5.9 & 6.0
7. What operational scenario should be employed?
8. What combination of dependent and independent variables is best?
9. What roles should be scripted?
10. Does the M&S result make sense?

29. Empathic Design
• Employed by Solid Thinking
• Requires visits to operational units to observe hands-
on use of systems
• Involves careful observation of users, being mindful
of Heisenberg Principal
– Don’t let the observing influence the observed
– Guarantee of confidentiality and anonymity
– Disciplined & unobtrusive note taking
Discuss Combat User’s impressions of combat system

31. CONOPS Can Uncover Requirements
“I recently released a CONOPs developed in parallel with an
early requirements-and-design concept development effort.
This CONOPs was initially resisted, believed unnecessary by
several principals. When it was completed two months later
(using the outline and training provided by Solid Thinking),
we had identified a number of mismatched (and unspoken)
expectations, and identified on the order of forty new
requirements. One of the key original skeptics [said], "This is
one of the best CONOPS I've ever seen". The CONOPs is now
a key system document.”

33. People Trained In CONOPS Are More Valuable To
Their Organizations
• Build CONOPS and requirements that capture
purpose, functionality and utility of a system.
• Work to eliminate latent defects and to build systems
that meet users’ evolving needs, on-schedule and
on-budget.
• Prevent development of any system that meets specs
and individual, functional req’ts but as a whole fails
to meet users’ needs.
• Take on a professional responsibility to users that
transcends contractual and financial boundaries

34. Common Mistakes Organizations Make
With CONOPS
1. Waiting for the client’s users to write the CONOPS
2. Treating CONOPS as an afterthought & fighting with
government/commercial customer over who pays for it
3. Assigning an internal team but allocating far too little money & time
4. Assigning internal “operations experienced” team lead, with no formal
training, to lead CONOPS
5. Using an old CONOPS as template for new CONOPS
6. Letting a “finished” CONOPS gather dust while S/W people write Use Cases
and Test Plans, guess at operational requirements (and eventually lead the
system’s testing)
7. Failing to assign Operations Engineer to drive OpCons & CONOPS; participate
in OA, OR and CA; help build FFBDs, help write test plans and
perform/witness all HSI and functional testing; help select and write
software Use Cases; certify CONOPS; write Users Manuals

35. Top 5 Mistakes
of CONOPS Teams
1. Lack of agreement as to use, scope,
cost of CONOPS
2. Insufficient consultation with users
3. Insufficient time and money
budgeted
4. Stakeholders have hidden agendas,
assumptions
5. SMEs derail/divert the process

36. Lessons From Judeo-Christian Traditions of
America’s Founding Fathers (paraphrased)
– Be plain-spoken and straightforward in all your dealings.
Mean what you say and say what you mean.
– Expect to pay a fair price for good work (remember the
Boston newspaper ad for good oats).
– Be honest: if you cannot do something, say so early and
loudly (remember Kelly Johnson’s refund of $$$ to CIA for
high-Mach aircraft he decided couldn’t be built in 1960s).
– Don’t be clever, be smart: know what you need to know in
your profession (best practices, code of behavior,
contracting principles and standards, performance standards
and client’s expectations)
– Recognize bias toward other groups and eliminate it – use a
proven technique Copyright Solid Thinking 2009 36

37. Complex Systems Design Suffers If
• Too much reliance on interfaces (“we’ll sort that out later - - -
let’s just build the radar”)
• Processing delays cause latencies that derail downstream
processes
• Insufficient discussions on architectures, not early enough in
dev’t timeline
– DODAF treated as burdensome afterthought
– Business mgrs not supervising tech staff’s choices of architecture,
S/W standards, H/W attributes
– “What-if” game not played early/often enough
• OpCons built late/superficial
• S/W not built to open standards; USG cannot upgrade or
provide technology refresh

38. Solid Thinking’s Predictions: by 2014
• USG will dictate architecture/structures from list of approved
• USG will provide ontology and AV-2 data library for each
major procurement
• Plug-and-play must be demonstrated by vendor
– Minimum reliance on “interfaces”
– TCP/IP, Service Oriented Architecture, plug-and-play and post-before-
processing required for any ISR system
• Noncompliance = non-selection/ “cancellation for
cause”
• Primes must find ways to make $$$ without
Intellectual Property (no more coercion of USG to buy
upgrades from prime)
