Model Based System and Software Engineering (MBSSE) is gaining more and more interest and momentum in the space domain, it therefore plays an important role in the current and future ESA R&D roadmap. As the results of several related TRP studies will be presented in detail during the TEC-ED/SW final presentation days on 6 and 7 December, we would like to invite you to participate to a follow-up workshop on December 8 to discuss the state of affairs. Moreover, we would like to share with you some experiences gained from actual MBSSE applications in on-going projects.

The need for continued interaction on this topic was clearly expressed by the attendees of last years’ COMPASS workshop and hence we have taken the initiative to provide a follow-up, albeit with a wider scope. Apart from this community building aspect, the aim of this workshop is to:

  • Share ESA’s vision on MBSSE, with focus on COMPASS, TASTE and OSRA
  • Showcase some experiences gained from MBSSE applications in on-going projects
  • Discuss the potential alignment with other model-based technologies such as SysML and Arcadia
  • Identify opportunities for further collaboration, harmonization and consolidation
  • Identify next steps for technology exploitation and R&D

The workshop format is a set of solicited talks (complementing the final presentation days), and short elevator pitches. All talks will be short and concise on purpose, to allow sufficient time for interaction with the audience. The morning session will focus on system-level modelling and the afternoon session will focus on model-based software engineering. Note that both sessions will be concluded by an interactive brainstorming session (in small ad-hoc groups with plenary reporting). Participation is free of charge and presentations will be made available on-line after the workshop. The workshop results will also be used to update the ESA R&D roadmap.

Attached below are the final report from last year's workshop and the proposed Compass roadmap, which will be presented and discussed at the workshop.
