Abstract:

Twenty-three years ago, Sheard published a very well-known description of Systems Engineering roles. Each role represents and defines activities and tasks to be taken into account for performing Systems Engineering through the entire system life cycle. As today?s more and more complex systems require different considerations and approaches, these activities and tasks have changed and thereby the description of the role model need to be updated. This work introduces the ?Role Model for Systems Engineering Application?, which is adapted to today?s circumstances, with the intention to give practitioners guidance in applying Systems Engineering. For this purpose, results from literature as well as from research projects and industrial applications experience were analyzed and combined to an updated role description.
