This paper presents how a continuous mission verification process similar than in software engineering can be applied in early spacecraft design and Concurrent Engineering. Following the Model-based Systems Engineering paradigm, all engineers contribute to one single centralized data model of the system. The data model is enriched with some extra information to create an executable representati...

Today’s engineering companies are facing unprecedented competition in a global market place. There is now a knowledge intensive shift towards whole product lifecycle support, and collaborative environments. It has become particularly important to capture information, knowledge and experiences about previous design and following stages during their product lifecycle, so as to retrieve and reuse ...

Software engineering (SE) and knowledge engineering (KE) develop software systems using different construction process models. Because of the growing complexity of the problems to be solved by computers, the conventional systems (CS) and knowledge-based systems (KBS) software process is at present passing through a period of integration. In this paper, we propose a software process model applic...
