Hi there. Welcome to the October 2020 release of the SEBoK. Version 2.3 is the 14th release of the SEBoK. That equates to the 14th edition of a textbook! And thank you to our readers – we had OVER 100,000 pageviews of the SEBoK in September 2020. That is remarkable. Thank you for your continued support of the SEBoK.

Hi there. Welcome to the May 2021 release of the SEBoK. Version 2.4 is the 15th release of the SEBoK. We continue to hover around that 100,000 pageviews per month. However, the more significant milestone is that the SEBoK crossed 5M pageviews since it first launched in September 2012. Thank you for your loyalty to this website.

As we have mentioned in previous briefings, the “Top 10 Most Viewed Pages” shifts from month to month. I find it interesting to understand what knowledge is being sought after in the SEBoK. So, in that spirit, here are the Top 10 pages viewed for September 2020:
+
As you know by now, I like to tell our readers what the 10 most popular content pages were in the recent past. In March 2021, the top 10 were:
−
#  [[Types of Models]]
 
−
#  [[Types of Systems]]
 
−
#  [[Stakeholder Needs and Requirements]]
 
−
#  [[System Requirements]]
 
−
#  [[Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability]]
 
−
#  [[Systems of Systems (SoS)]]
 
−
#  [[Life Cycle Models]]
 
−
#  [[System Life Cycle Process Models: Vee]]
 
−
#  [[System Architecture]]
 
−
# [[Systems Engineering Overview]]
 
  
−
So, what is new in this 14th release?
+
#[[Types of Systems]]
  
−
When you go to the top pages of each Part, you will find a new graphic. The old graphic needed to be retired so we could add Part 8 which first appeared in the last release. This graphic reflects the connectivity of the multiple parts of the SEBoK.
+
#[[System Requirements]]
−
 
−
We moved to a newer version of the underlying Mediawiki platform that fixes bugs and improves performance, fixed typos in a number of articles, and made numerous other small housekeeping updates. More importantly, the major content changes in this version are:
 
−
*A new article on [[Cycles and the Cyclic Nature of Systems|'''Cycles and the Cyclic Nature of Systems''']] in Part 2/Systems Science/ provided by Gary Smith (Part 2 Lead Editor)
 
−
*You will find a new article on [[Portfolio Management|'''Portfolio Management''']] in Part 6/SE and Project Management/ provided by Eric Speckling, Greg Parnell and Ed Pohl.
 
−
*Thanks to Holly Handley from ODU for updating the [[Human Systems Integration|'''Human Systems Integration''']]  article in Part 6/SE and Specialty Engineering/.
 
−
*We have added five new videos to the Part 6/SE and Specialty Engineering/[[Security Engineering|'''Security Engineering''']] article. These videos were created by Keith Willet, with support from the INCOSE Systems Security Engineering Working Group.
 
  
−
'''Ongoing OPPORTUNITY:''' I first mentioned this last release. The Systems Security Engineering Working Group stepped up with providing five videos! We could use more.
+
#[[Stakeholder Needs and Requirements]]
  
−
We continue to look for ways to add some multimedia to the SEBoK. If you are an amateur videographers and hobbyists to produce a number of 3-5 minute videos on systems engineering specifically for the SEBoK. NO AGENDAS. NO PROMOTIONS. NO ADVERTISEMENTS. Or, you can simply record the presentation in PPT – that works also. If you are up to this challenge, please contact me at: rob@calimar.com. I look forward to your ideas.
+
#[[Types of Models]]
  
−
Finally, we are always on the lookout for new articles to add. Some of the ideas we are working on for future releases include:
+
#[[Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability]]
−
*What impacts will AI have on the practice of SE (including architecture and Int, Test, V & V)
 
−
*Cyber-physical Systems
 
−
*Sustainability
 
−
*Updated history of SE
 
−
*Diversity and SE
 
−
*Hardware Assurance and SE
 
  
−
Enjoy this latest release.

Hi there. Welcome to the May 2021 release of the SEBoK. Version 2.4 is the 15th release of the SEBoK. We continue to hover around that 100,000 pageviews per month. However, the more significant milestone is that the SEBoK crossed 5M pageviews since it first launched in September 2012. Thank you for your loyalty to this website.

As you know by now, I like to tell our readers what the 10 most popular content pages were in the recent past. In March 2021, the top 10 were:

  1. Types of Systems
  1. System Requirements
  1. Stakeholder Needs and Requirements
  1. Types of Models
  1. Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability
  1. System Architecture
  1. Life Cycle Models
  1. System Life Cycle Process Models: Vee
  1. What is a Model?
  1. Logical Architecture Model Development

First off, did you notice our new logo? It is meant to represent the movement from books to digital information, as well as the many different ways to represent that data. Hope you like it. Updated SEBoK Logo.png

The Editors and Authors have worked hard for this release. This update provides more new content than has been added for some time. Thank you to the new editors and the new authors that contributed to this release. Here is what you might find:

  • Parts 6 and Part 8 have been reorganized to handle new knowledge areas and topics
  • Decisions with Cognitive Bias
  • Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
  • [Systems Engineering and Artificial Intelligence]]

Ongoing OPPORTUNITY: I first mentioned this in the May 2020 release. We continue to look for ways to add some multimedia to the SEBoK. If you are an amateur videographers and hobbyists to produce a number of 3-5 minute videos on systems engineering specifically for the SEBoK. NO AGENDAS. NO PROMOTIONS. NO ADVERTISEMENTS. Or, you can simply record the presentation in PPT – that also works. If you are up to this challenge, please contact me at: [1]. I look forward to your ideas.
