Abstract:
Syntax or Semantics?  How an imbalance of either results in poor communication.

This presentation will discuss the use of MBSE/Digital Engineering models as communication tools.  We will explore various roles of models and discuss the balance of semantics and syntax that results in good understanding of the information contained in our models and enables good decision-making.  We will discuss how to approach MBSE to add value and to encourage adoption.

Requirements Engineering for Software Engineering Projects

Dear Systems and Software Engineering Colleagues:
 
Please join us for this FREE virtual (Zoom) educational and informational session on Mon Jan 9, 2023 at 8:00 pm EST.  Value = 1 PDU/CEU.
 
This is the second session of our technical program offered by the INCOSE Canada Chapter. In this session, we explore the topic of "Requirements Engineering for Software Engineering Projects" with Majd Karam, Ph.D. Candidate and director, National Capital FreeNet

Abstract. The challenges facing software engineering projects have been changing drastically over the past few decades (varying from projects’ complexities and rapid changes in technologies, to challenges related to systems integration and deployment, etc.). However, the most constant challenges have always been related to having high-quality requirements that reflect what the business (and its stakeholders) really need. In this session, we will provide an overview of the best practices in software requirements engineering that would help software engineers (and the entire project team) build the RIGHT system RIGHT. The main focus will be on the main activities of  requirements engineering; from requirements elicitation, analysis, validation and verification, to requirements management and change management. We will also shed some light on requirements engineering activities within Scrum and DevOps environments.

Majd Karam is a PhD Candidate of Digital Transformation and Innovation, at the Faculty of Engineering at University of Ottawa, with an MBA from Telfer School of Management at University of Ottawa. She is a part-time professor of Requirements Engineering at University of Ottawa, with 10 years of experience in software requirements analysis consulting in the banking and telecommunication sectors. This mix between the practical experience and the academic involvement in software requirements analysis has enabled her to form a solid view of what works and does not work in the domain.
