 PDF Key takeaways: Outside of the software engineering domain (where the model-based principles were initially developed and applied starting in the 1980s), cross-domain MBSE is still in the very early stage of industry adoption, similar in nature to mechanical CAD and CAE technology in the early to mid 1980s Early adopters of MBSE are starting to implement this approach within selected programs and domains with positive metrics of success; albeit not without the normal challenges of major process change and related organizational training System modeling languages such as UML/OMG SysML and Modelica are rapidly maturing to meet the needs of the systems engineering community Standards for MBSE data exchange, interoperability, and data visualization (e.g., OSLC, OSLC4MBSE, FMI and DoDAF) are rapidly emerging and maturing INCOSE MBSE Workshop Highlights Over 400 INCOSE[1] members attended the recent International Workshop 2014 and MBSE Workshop events held in the Los Angeles, CA area from January 25-28. An intense two-day weekend workshop
