MBSE is rarely a solo activity. While today's tools make collaborative modelling possible, successful teamwork depends just as much on the right processes, governance and ways of working as it does on the technology itself.

This interactive tutorial explores how to build effective collaboration strategies for MBSE teams of all sizes. Through practical demonstrations and real-world scenarios, attendees will learn how to work more effectively together, avoid common challenges, and create modelling practices that scale from small teams to large, distributed organisations.

During the session we'll explore:

Collaboration strategies that work for both small teams and enterprise environments.
What makes collaboration in MBSE different from other engineering disciplines.
Common pitfalls when multiple engineers are working on the same models.
Practical techniques for avoiding conflicts and keeping your colleagues happy.
Approaches for merging models and resolving conflicts.
Best practices for organising distributed models across teams and projects.

The demonstrations will use vendor-specific tooling, but the collaboration principles and techniques discussed can be applied across any MBSE environment.

Who Should Attend

Whether you're new to collaborative MBSE or looking to improve the way your organisation develops and manages system models, this tutorial will provide practical guidance that can be applied immediately. Systems engineers, MBSE practitioners, technical leads and architects will leave with proven approaches for building more effective and scalable collaborative modelling practices.

As systems engineering transitions to the Object Management Group’s (OMG) SysML v2 standard, the focus shifts from static structural representations to dynamic, precise, and highly integrated architectures. Join key members of the CATIA Cyber Systems MBSE R&D team for an interactive, end-to-end tutorial exploring Dassault Systèmes’ vision, roadmap, and practical application of SysML v2.

Divided into two comprehensive parts, this session provides a practical preview of how SysML v2 is applied natively within our MBSE product portfolio—showing you how to build, extend, and execute next-generation system models.

Part 1: Portfolio Integration, Workflows, & Toolchain Extensibility

The first part of the tutorial explores what truly changes for practitioners as SysML v2 is seamlessly integrated into the CATIA/Cameo Magic product suite. You will learn how to leverage new modeling paradigms, automated workflows, and continuous integration capabilities to support enterprise-scale systems engineering.

Part 2: Bringing Models to Life: Advanced Simulation & Execution

The second part transitions from architecture definition to dynamic execution. Realizing the full potential of SysML v2 requires advanced tooling capable of running models early in the lifecycle to drive informed engineering decisions.

Who Should Attend & Meet the Experts

Whether you are an experienced MBSE practitioner or exploring the future of systems engineering, this tutorial offers practical insights into applying SysML v2 today and scaling it for tomorrow.

Throughout the session, R&D team will be available to answer technical questions, share real-world use cases, and discuss the future of MBSE.

We are very happy to welcome you to Linköping, the city where Saab was founded back in 1937. The driving force then was to establish a national Aircraft development and production capability given the increasing tensions in Europe.

Linköping is still home to the largest Saab site with some 8000 people working with aircraft, missile and underwater applications. A sizeable number of our employees are Systems Engineers and it is natural for Saab to take the role of the Industrial Partner for EMEASEC.

In this interactive presentation we will present Saab, our product palette, our views on Systems Engineering and where INCOSE fits from the company’s perspective. Moreover, we will present a view on what it is like to work at Saab as well as open career opportunities. With this presentation we hope to raise your awareness and interest in Saab and our products.

What does it take to develop a modern electro-mechanical system while maintaining traceability, managing complexity, and making confident engineering decisions?

In this interactive workshop, participants will explore the development of an ePowertrain system using a connected digital engineering approach powered by Model-Based Systems Engineering. Working through realistic engineering scenarios, attendees will experience how requirements, system architecture, simulation, software development, verification, and safety analysis can be integrated within a continuous digital thread.

See how engineering data flows seamlessly across disciplines, enabling teams to collaborate more effectively, identify issues earlier, evaluate trade-offs with greater confidence, and accelerate development while preserving full lifecycle traceability.

Whether you are a systems engineer, software engineer, architect, or engineering leader, this workshop will provide practical insight into how connected digital engineering transforms the way complex products are developed and verified.

When planning and conducting a Mission Engineering (ME) study, a complete, correct, and coherent model of the mission architecture is essential. The Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) has proven effective for this purpose. UAF v1.3 introduced extensions to better support ME, and this tutorial builds on that foundation, drawing on concepts from the Mission Engineering Guide (MEG) and Mission Architecture Style Guide (MASG). Topics include compatibility with Model-Based Acquisition, Enterprise Systems Engineering processes, detailed resource engagement, multiple modeling languages (SysML, SysML v2, UAF v2), Effects and Outcomes, and force differentiation (Blue/Red/Neutral). The tutorial will also cover new ideas introduced in MEG v2. You will learn the modeling features and constructs required for mission engineering, illustrated throughout with a well-known battle scenario.

Creating initial system architectures in MBSE remains time-consuming and expertise-driven, slowing early design exploration. Recent advances in AI, particularly large language models, offer the potential to accelerate these early stages significantly.

This tutorial presents a practical, end-to-end approach for combining AI with SysML v2 to rapidly bootstrap and evolve system architectures. In the first part, you will learn how to input a high-level system description into AI platforms and generate an initial SysML v2 architecture in textual notation, covering requirements, structure, and behavior. The generated model can be imported directly into a SysML v2-compliant MBSE tool as a starting point for further development.

In the second part, the tutorial demonstrates how built-in AI capabilities within MBSE tools and native modeling features can expand, refine, and validate the architecture. Critical considerations — model correctness, traceability, and the engineer's role in guiding AI-generated content — are addressed throughout. By the end of the session, you will understand how to integrate AI into SysML v2-based MBSE workflows, improving efficiency while maintaining engineering rigor.

Modern engineering projects are increasingly complex, involving multiple stakeholders, interdependent systems, and high uncertainty. Teams often struggle to maintain clarity, rhythm, and balance. Although established systems engineering methods exist, applying them in ways that fit real-world project dynamics remains difficult.

This tutorial introduces CASA, a mindset tool designed to help practitioners navigate complexity, sustain balance, and maximize stakeholder value. CASA is represented as a physical token of three stacked discs. The bottom disc represents organizational project-enabling processes. The top disc represents technical processes, from business and mission analysis through design, verification, and disposal. The middle disc represents technical management and agreement processes. Atop the three discs sits a cone representing quality characteristics — affordability, interoperability, manufacturability, adaptability, and more. The discs and cone rotate independently, embodying the iterative nature of complex projects and supporting balance throughout.

You will engage with practical exercises to experience CASA in action: applying a structured mindset to complex projects, aligning organizational and technical processes, integrating quality characteristics explicitly, and using iterative cycles to refine solutions. CASA is a physical summary of the INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook, and a practical entry point for both new and experienced practitioners.

The INCOSE Sustainability Working Group proposes a series of sessions on the necessary coupling of Systems Engineering and Sustainability, combining short presentations with interactive activities. You will learn about emerging and ongoing projects, participate in them, and interact with their leaders. There will be 4 sessions spread across Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning.

Saturday 13:00-18:00

Workshop introduction, then “Re-thinking sustainable systems architectures: the role of rebound effects prevention - A hands-on workshop with simulation-based insights” (starting 13:15)
“Techno-solutionism: a challenge for the systems approach!-collaborative deep-dive on both the concept and a practical example” (starting 16:10)

Sunday 09:00-12:00

Several members of the European systems engineering sustainability community from Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and France will facilitate the sessions. They are designed to provide practical takeaways, share best practices, and foster collaboration between the Working Group and Chapter communities. Detailed information about each session can be found on the registration page. Questions can be sent to sustainability@incose.net.

A core benefit of MBSE is the ability to validate models by executing them against external scenarios. Understanding execution semantics is therefore critical for systems engineers and tool vendors alike. Unlike its UML-based predecessor, SysML v2 introduces formal declarative semantics for enhanced precision. A practical gap, however, remains between these declarative definitions and the imperative rules required for step-by-step execution.

This tutorial bridges that gap by explaining SysML v2 execution semantics and contrasting practical execution approaches with the broader traces permitted by formal semantics. Using the SysML v2 Execution Working Group's Execution Cases library, you will explore precise execution traces for key language constructs, with a focus on actions, state machines, and the integration of structure and behavior via parts, ports, and interfaces.

This workshop, part of the HSI Regional Workshops 2026 in the EMEA sector, aims to initiate collaboration toward a future COST Action proposal. The objective is to bring together researchers and practitioners to structure an interdisciplinary research network focused on Human Systems Integration (HSI).

Key topics include: CONOPS in early-stage R&D, examining how practitioners develop and use CONOPS, the gap between intent and practice, and the lack of user voice despite the user-centric purpose of these documents; HSI use cases and probes, exploring experimental approaches such as "HSI probes" inspired by mechanical engineering test probes; and HSI heuristics, focused on developing and publishing validated heuristics on the INCOSE Professional Development Portal, with emphasis on their role as memorable, strategic, and actionable communication tools.

The workshop will foster discussion, co-creation, and alignment toward a structured COST Action proposal.

The INCOSE Empowering Women Leaders in Systems Engineering (ELWSE) initiative presents #LeadLikeHer, an engaging session designed to help women leaders discover their authentic leadership identity, amplify their presence, and build ecosystems that sustain growth and success.

Having reached over 400 leaders across regions, the initiative recognizes that leadership extends far beyond skills — it requires mindset, confidence, resilience, and authenticity to thrive in complex engineering and technology environments.

Drawing on iconic leaders such as Indra Nooyi and Katherine Graham, as well as Maud Lewis and Deloris Jordan, the session offers practical insights into executive presence, influence, resilience, and career advancement. You will leave with a deeper understanding of your leadership identity and a personalized roadmap to lead with greater confidence, purpose, and impact. The session is facilitated by Salto Dee Fe consultants in partnership with Caltech University.

Many challenges in systems engineering practice arise when managing trade-offs, coordinating across stakeholders, and making decisions under constraints in complex socio-technical environments. This tutorial introduces a structured, experiential approach using gamified simulation environments to explore these challenges.

You will work in teams on scenarios drawn from space, energy, and health systems, managing risks, disruptions, and decisions under resource limitations and competing objectives. The session is organized in three stages: simulation gameplay using multi-award-winning Engineering Systemisers game kits; structured redesign of the games to address specific engineering challenges, focusing on roles, information flows, and decision structures; and system-of-systems integration, connecting teams through shared dependencies that require cross-team alignment.

You will develop actionable insight into how system structure, constraints, and stakeholder interactions influence outcomes — and how they can be improved through design. The tutorial provides a practical and transferable framework for analysing and redesigning complex systems, supporting the integration of technical, organizational, and human considerations.
