Revision as of 23:32, 12 September 2012

The Guide to the Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge (SEBoK) has been an immense undertaking involving the collective efforts of so many, including 70 authors, hundreds of reviewers, and the wiki support team. A special thanks goes to our primary sponsor, the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Systems Engineering, who has provided unwavering support over the past three years.

With gratitude,

BKCASE

The SEBoK was developed by the Body of Knowledge and Curriculum to Advance Systems Engineering Project (BKCASE) (http://www.bkcase.org), which is concurrently producing the Graduate Reference Curriculum for Systems Engineering (GRCSE). Nearly everyone involved in BKCASE has contributed to both products. Hence, the acknowledgements generally do not distinguish between contributions to SEBoK and GRCSE.

The Department of Defense recognizes the importance of SEBoK to its own workforce development and has provided substantial financial support and partnership to the project. The office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Systems Engineering (DASD/SE) is the primary Department of Defense sponsor for the BKCASE Project. DASD/SE has graciously provided much of the funding for SEBoK development through their Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC) (see http://www.sercuarc.org). Those funds have primarily paid for the time spent by the SEBoK leadership, enabled the many volunteer authors to conduct quarterly physical workshops, and provided for the technical and administrative infrastructure to conduct such a complex distributed project. DASD/SE has not determined the content of the SEBoK, but instead allows the author team and the community to determine what the SEBoK should contain. Without this support, this project would not be possible. Special thanks go to Stephen Welby, Kristen Baldwin, Nicholas Torelli, Don Gelosh, and Scott Lucero.

The remaining two thirds of the project cost were donations in-kind by our partners to support the labor and travel of the authors. We gratefully acknowledge their contributions.

This material is based upon work supported, in whole or in part, by the U.S. Department of Defense through the Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC) under Contract H98230-08-D-0171. SERC is a federally funded University Affiliated Research Center managed by Stevens Institute of Technology. Any opinions, findings and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the United States Department of Defense.

Part Team Leads

The SEBoK is divided into seven primary Parts (see SEBoK Table of Contents). For each of the Parts, someone graciously volunteered to lead a team of authors in writing the articles and coordinating article integration. This was an enormous amount of work. We would like to thank each of these individuals for their time, dedication, and leadership. In addition, a member of the core team supported each of the part team leads.

  • Part 1 - Barry Boehm with support from Art Pyster
  • Part 2 - Richard Adcock with support from Nicole Hutchison
  • Part 3 - Garry Roedler with support from Jim Anthony
  • Part 4 - Harold (Bud) Lawson with support from David Olwell
  • Part 5 - Art Pyster with support from Alice Squires and Deva Henry
  • Part 6 - David Olwell with support from Art Pyster
  • Part 7 - Heidi Davidz with support from Alice Squires and Deva Henry

Authors

As a primarily volunteer effort, BKCASE has depended on dozens of authors from around the world to provide their own time and expenses. Each of the individuals listed below has worked many hours to develop and improve SEBoK and GRCSE. Without each of them, it would have been impossible to succeed. Many of them have been supported by their organizations during this effort, including support for travel and labor, and we also gratefully acknowledge the organizational contribution.

Partners

Partner organizations have supported SEBoK by providing personnel, opportunities to discuss the SEBoK in open forums such as conferences and workshops, and providing valued feedback on draft SEBoK materials. Some organizations have also chosen to have an official representative(s) participate in BKCASE, as shown below. A special thanks to our partners.

For more information on potential partner involvement after publication of version 1.0, please see SEBoK Evolution.

Wiki Team

The transition from a traditional document to a wiki-based platform was a long one. We are tremendously grateful to the folks who have helped us install, manage, and update the wiki:

  • Nicole Hutchison (team lead), Stevens Institute of Technology
  • Stephanie Enck (co-lead), Naval Postgraduate School
  • Hans-Peter de Koning, European Space Agency
  • Paola Di Maio, University of Strathclyde
  • Ray Jorgensen, Rockwell Collins

  • Johann Amsenga
  • John Baras
  • Johan Bendz
  • Stuart Booth
  • Dan Cernoch
  • Richard Frost
  • Edward Ghafari

Reviewers

Reviewers are critical to the success and growth of the SEBoK. By providing feedback that represents the diversity of views and opinions on systems engineering, reviewers help the author team identify and describe ground truths for SE as well as areas of contention. The reviewers who provided feedback for earlier versions (0.25, 0.50, and 0.75) are listed in Table 2, below. In addition to those listed, there are a number of other reviewers who provided their comments directly on the wiki with only a userid and not a full name; these userid's are not listed in Table 2. Many thanks to all reviewers!

The author team would like to particularly acknowledge the efforts of several INCOSE working groups (WGs); the following groups provided extensive feedback on SEBoK 0.5 and input for SEBoK 0.75:

  • Systems Science WG
  • Architecture WG
  • Requirements WG
  • Decision Analysis WG
  • In Service WG
  • Lean Systems Engineering WG
  • System of Systems WG
  • Process Improvement WG

The adjudication of all SEBoK review comments can be found at SEBoK Review and Adjudication.

SEBoK Discussion

Please provide your comments and feedback on the SEBoK below. You will need to log in to DISQUS using an existing account (e.g. Yahoo, Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) or create a DISQUS account. Simply type your comment in the text field below and DISQUS will guide you through the login or registration steps. Feedback will be archived and used for future updates to the SEBoK. If you provided a comment that is no longer listed, that comment has been adjudicated. You can view adjudication for comments submitted prior to SEBoK v. 1.0 at SEBoK Review and Adjudication. Later comments are addressed and changes are summarized in the Letter from the Editor and Acknowledgements and Release History.

If you would like to provide edits on this article, recommend new content, or make comments on the SEBoK as a whole, please see the SEBoK Sandbox.
