Mapping Of The Information Flow Of The Valle Occidental Coffee Region: A System-Of-Systems Perspective, Irene Campos
Mapping Of The Information Flow Of The Valle Occidental Coffee Region: A System-Of-Systems Perspective, Irene Campos
CESUN Conference
Uncertainty is a characteristic of many of the contemporary environments that our systems inhabit. In the case of farming systems, uncertainty has always been present in the form of unpredictable weather conditions, disease outbreaks and evolving societal and economic factors. Uncertainty poses a challenge for communication and information alignment, which is especially important for a farming system responding to disasters. A first step towards finding solutions for problems of information alignment in systems is mapping and identifying information links in them. The goal of this research is to map the information flow and feedback dynamics of the Valle Occidental coffee …

Risk Management Decision Making For Security And Trust In Hardware Supply Chains, Zachary A. Collier, Thomas L. Polmateer, James H. Lambert
Risk Management Decision Making For Security And Trust In Hardware Supply Chains, Zachary A. Collier, Thomas L. Polmateer, James H. Lambert
CESUN Conference
Modern cyber-physical systems are enabled by electronic hardware and embedded systems. The security of these sub-components is a concern during the design and operational phases of cyber-physical system life cycles. Compromised electronics can result in mission-critical failures, unauthorized access, and other severe consequences. As systems become more complex and feature greater connectivity, system owners must make decisions regarding how to mitigate risks and ensure resilience and trust. This paper provides an overview of research efforts related to assessing and managing risks, resilience, and trust with an emphasis on electronic hardware and embedded systems. The research takes a decision-oriented perspective, drawing …
The Challenges And Opportunities Of Teaching Systems Engineering For Large Scale Engineering Systemse, Edward Pines, Dennis Engi
The Challenges And Opportunities Of Teaching Systems Engineering For Large Scale Engineering Systemse, Edward Pines, Dennis Engi
CESUN Conference
In this paper, we discuss a course in large scale systems engineering that was developed as part of a twelve-credit Graduate Certificate in Systems Engineering for part-time and returning students. Our focus was on how to work on big, unmanageable, messy problems. Teaching systems engineering for large-scale engineering systems is challenging for many reasons. One of the main challenges is the breadth of material to be addressed within one or two courses. Other challenges result from how students learn about the transitions from the development of a conceptual framework to systems architecture through engineering design, mathematical analysis and eventual construction …
