Development of SEBoK v. 2.1

This version of the SEBoK was released 31 October 2019. This is a significant release of the SEBoK in which there are new articles, updated articles, and new/or improved features. There has also been a significant effort to further edit some of the small annoyances that have existed from previous releases. Additionally, there have been some personnel changes and those are reflected on the BKCASE Governance and Editorial Board page.

Content and Feature Updates for v. 2.1

This section provides a summary of changes for SEBoK v. 2.1. See letter from the editor for a wider discussion of the changes and future plans.

New topic articles have been added on Digital Engineering, Mission Engineering, Set Based Design, and MBSE Adoption Trends 2009-2018. This is a minor release of the SEBoK which includes updates to the System Resilience (formerly "Resilience Engineering") article in Part 6: Related Disciplines, as well as a major restructuring of Part 7: Systems Engineering Implementation Examples. This restructuring removed the old framework for examples ("vignettes" and "case studies", which reflected how the examples were developed). The examples have been organized based on the organizational context: examples from commercial organizations, government organization, or examples in which development was a partnership between the two. In addition, a new example has been added around the use of model based systems engineering for the thirty-meter telescope.

Addressing these in reverse order, the SEBoK is now including bylines on the articles which had significant contributions from only a few authors. We are in the process of going back in time to determine the major contributions of past articles, and moving forward, we are including bylines for new authors.
