Governance and Editorial Boards

BKCASE Governing Board

The three SEBoK steward organizations – the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Systems Council (IEEE-SYSC), and Stevens Institute of Technology – provide the primary funding and resources needed to sustain and evolve the SEBoK and make it available as a free and open resource to all. The stewards appoint the BKCASE Governing Board to be their primary agents to oversee and guide the SEBoK. The stewards appoint the SEBoK Editor in Chief to manage the SEBoK and oversee the Editorial Board.

The BKCASE Governing Board includes:

• Representing the The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE)
  • Art Pyster (Governing Board Chair), Emma Sparks
• Representing the Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC)
  • Thomas McDermott, Cihan Dagli
• Representing the IEEE Systems Council (IEEE-SYSC)
  • Stephanie White, Bob Rassa

Past governors include Andy Chen, Richard Fairley, Kevin Forsberg, Paul Frenz, Richard Hilliard, John Keppler, Bill Miller, David Newbern, Ken Nidiffer, Dave Olwell, Massood Towhidnejad, Jon Wade, David Walden, and Courtney Wright. The governors would especially like to acknowledge Andy Chen and Rich Hilliard, IEEE Computer Society, who were instrumental in helping the governors to work within the IEEE CS structure and who supported the SEBoK transition to the IEEE Systems Council.

Editorial Board

The SEBoK Editorial Board is chaired by the Editor in Chief, who provides the strategic vision for the SEBoK. The EIC is supported by a group of Editors, each of whom are responsible for a specific aspect of the SEBoK. The EIC and Editorial Board are supported by the Managing Editor, who handles all day-to-day operations. The EIC, Managing Editor, and Editorial Board are supported by a Student Editor, Madeline Haas, whose hard work and dedication are greatly appreciated.

Student Editor

Madeline Haas, a student at George Mason University, supported the SEBoK from 2020-2023. We gratefully acknowledge her exemplary efforts. Ms. Haas has also taken responsibility for managing the Emerging Research knowledge area of the SEBoK. The EIC and Managing Editor are very proud of the work Madeline has done.

Mikeal Lockard, an undergraduate student at George Mason University, is currently supporting the SEBoK Managing Editor and Editor in Chief. We are deeply appreciative of the work Mikeal has done and look forward to continuing to work with him.

Interested in Editing?

The Editor in Chief is looking for additional editors to support the evolution of the SEBoK. Editors are responsible for maintaining and updating one to two knowledge areas, including recruiting and working with authors, ensuring the incorporation of community feedback, and maintaining the quality of SEBoK content. We are specifically interested in support for the following knowledge areas:

• Enabling Businesses and Enterprises
• Procurement and Acquisition
• Systems Engineering and Quality Attributes
• Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and Digital Engineering

If you are interested in being considered for participation on the Editorial Board, please contact the SEBoK Staff directly at sebok@incose.org.
