Reimagining Model-Based Systems Engineering in the Age of Generative AI
The rise of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and large language models (LLM) calls for an honest revision of the model-based systems engineering (MBSE) paradigm as the north star of formality in systems engineering, architecting, analysis, and design. In this talk, we will review some basic terminology and concepts of GenAI and discuss a few examples and ideas related to the integration of MBSE with GenAI. We will try to outline a vision for MBSE that may leverage structured design paradigms for the design of AI-powered systems engineering and for the systems engineering of AI-powered systems.
Bio:Yaniv Mordecai is a senior research scientist at Amazon, where he combines two of great professional thrusters: operations research and systems engineering. He builds holistic, scalable, and robust solutions for planning, analysis, prediction, and optimization of Amazon’s Last Mile operations on the road and under the roof, using state-of-the-art optimization, machine learning, geospatial analysis and information visualization methods. He works with a wide range of cloud-based services and applications to create and enhance on-line solutions that support operators, planners, analysts, designers, researchers and directors.
In addition, he is a senior teaching fellow, lecturer and research mentor in the areas of model-based systems engineering and simulation, cyber-physical systems and risk analysis at Tel-Aviv University’ Systems Engineering Research Initiative.
Mordecai holds a post-doc in systems engineering and a teaching certificate from MIT (2021), Ph.D. (2016) in information systems engineering from Technion, and M.Sc. (2010, cum laude) and B.Sc. (2002) in industrial engineering from Tel-Aviv University. He recently completed a 27-month post-doctoral research fellowship at the System Architecture Lab at MIT and spent nearly five years as a senior systems architect in Motorola Solutions Israel.
His research interests include model-based systems engineering, cybernetics and cyber-physical systems, risk analysis, decision analysis, interoperable systems and operations research.
A Senior Member of the IEEE and founder of the IEEE Systems Council Israel Chapter, Mordecai is also a member of the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE), and observer on the board of the Israeli Society for Systems Engineering – INCOSE Israel Chapter.
