Title: 

Keeping the Digital Thread from Unravelling: Opportunities and Challenges in MBSE

Abstract:  

The Digital Thread is a key component and concept in Model-Based Systems Engineering. A fully realized digital thread provides the “use of internet-driven knowledge representation and immersive technologies enabling highly efficient and shared human understanding of systems in a virtual environment that span the full life cycle from concept through development, manufacturing, operations, and support.” (SE Vision 2025) We will also examine challenges, risks, opportunities and threats along the path to the realization of digital engineering.
