Design and manufacturing organizations struggle to achieve Model Based Definition (MBD), even as industry increasingly pushes to standardize this automated methodology. Through elimination of duplicative processes, and increased data quality, MBD offers businesses, small and large, a competitive edge, via speed, agility, and ultimately profitability. The Model Based Definition Handbook offers a simplified path for organizations to follow by breaking down the transformation to MBD into two separate, smaller challenges, which can be solved by following four, well-detailed steps. A tool-agnostic approach is utilized throughout the book, and both the methods defined and the process templates offered are scalable to design and manufacturing organizations of all sizes.

A Model-Based Definition (MBD) facilitates a seamless transfer of data eliminating error-prone tasks and increasing efficiency throughout the enterprise. Explore the activities that occur throughout a product's lifecycle, the data can be captured in the digital twin, and how it can be re-used. Illustrations and real-world images aid the reader in understanding the activities discussed to give a better understanding of the data available to be used for an effective MBD. As Industry 4.0 begins to take off, the benefits an MBD brings are vital for businesses to remain competitive. Whether you are new to MBD or trying to determine where to apply it, this book will guide you through the possibilities to leverage an MBD.

This latest edition describes why MBD is important to your organization. The discussions around tools, processes, standards, and most importantly, the people who use MBD are updated to match current industry practice. MBD is the foundation for Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Industry 4.0, and creating digital twins. ◦ The first edition of the book considered how CAD jockeys designed products and did not include the broader benefits during manufacturing. Jennifer Herron, founder & CEO of Action Engineering, states: "The downstream benefits of MBD on the shop floor and during inspection often eclipse the time and effort savings in engineering, so it is imperative to engage the entire enterprise." Because the engineering department is often the only MBD champion, MBD implementations fall short because critical workflows are missed in internal and external supply chain operations. Understanding the why, what, and how across the entire enterprise is the key to MBD adoption. ◦ What's new? - Terms and definitions are updated and clarified - All graphics are updated - 3D examples are revised - The Four Parts of MBD are presented - Suppliers are discussed - Standards are updated

This primer addresses the basic concepts of model-based systems engineering. It covers the Model, Language, Behavior, Process, Architecture, and Verification and Validation. It is a call to consider the foundational principles behind those concepts. It is not designed to present novel insights into MBSE so much as to provide a guided tour of the touchstones of systems design. It is a guide to the new MBSE acolyte and a reminder to the experienced practitioner. It is our hope that you find this primer valuable. We welcome your comments and suggestions about improving it. Much of what we have learned about how it should be organized and presented has come from thoughtful contributions from the readers of the 1st edition.

This handbook brings together diverse domains and technical competences of Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) into a single, comprehensive publication. It is intended for researchers, practitioners, and students/educators who require a wide-ranging and authoritative reference on MBSE with a multidisciplinary, global perspective. It is also meant for those who want to develop a sound understanding of the practice of systems engineering and MBSE, and/or who wish to teach both introductory and advanced graduate courses in systems engineering. It is specifically focused on individuals who want to understand what MBSE is, the deficiencies in current practice that MBSE overcomes, where and how it has been successfully applied, its benefits and payoffs, and how it is being deployed in different industries and across multiple applications. MBSE engineering practitioners and educators with expertise in different domains have contributed chapters that address various uses of MBSE and related technologies such as simulation and digital twin in the systems lifecycle. The introductory chapter reviews the current state of practice, discusses the genesis of MBSE and makes the business case. Subsequent chapters present the role of ontologies and meta-models in capturing system interdependencies, reasoning about system behavior with design and operational constraints; the use of formal modeling in system (model) verification and validation; ontology-enabled integration of systems and system-of-systems; digital twin-enabled model-based testing; system model design synthesis; model-based tradespace exploration; design for reuse; human-system integration; and role of simulation and Internet-of-Things (IoT) within MBSE.

This Open Access book presents the results of the "Collaborative Embedded Systems" (CrESt) project, aimed at adapting and complementing the methodology underlying modeling techniques developed to cope with the challenges of the dynamic structures of collaborative embedded systems (CESs) based on the SPES development methodology. In order to manage the high complexity of the individual systems and the dynamically formed interaction structures at runtime, advanced and powerful development methods are required that extend the current state of the art in the development of embedded systems and cyber-physical systems. The methodological contributions of the project support the effective and efficient development of CESs in dynamic and uncertain contexts, with special emphasis on the reliability and variability of individual systems and the creation of networks of such systems at runtime. The project was funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), and the case studies are therefore selected from areas that are highly relevant for Germany’s economy (automotive, industrial production, power generation, and robotics). It also supports the digitalization of complex and transformable industrial plants in the context of the German government's "Industry 4.0" initiative, and the project results provide a solid foundation for implementing the German government's high-tech strategy "Innovations for Germany" in the coming years.

This book is about making machine learning models and their decisions interpretable. After exploring the concepts of interpretability, you will learn about simple, interpretable models such as decision trees, decision rules and linear regression. Later chapters focus on general model-agnostic methods for interpreting black box models like feature importance and accumulated local effects and explaining individual predictions with Shapley values and LIME. All interpretation methods are explained in depth and discussed critically. How do they work under the hood? What are their strengths and weaknesses? How can their outputs be interpreted? This book will enable you to select and correctly apply the interpretation method that is most suitable for your machine learning project.
