INCOSE So. S Working Group Charter: To promote application of SE to So. S

INCOSE So. S Working Group Charter: To promote application of SE to So. S through • Formed in based on So. S workshop at IS 2011 • Responds to a growing recognition of the increasing inter-connectivity of systems and the role of systems engineering across complex systems of systems 1. Understand share what we mean by So. S in our various contexts 2. Develop guidance and advice 3. Inform and up-skill practitioners 4. Exert influence on BKCASE, Standards, SE Vision etc. 5. Develop the practice of SE for So. S 6. Work in partnership with other groups addressing aspects of So. S (e. g. INCOSE WGs, IEEE, NDIA) 7. Understand apply insights from relevant research 5
