  • Agile Systems Engineering with SysML v2 and AI

    • 2nd Edition
    • October 1, 2026
    • Bruce Powel Douglass
    • English
    Agile Systems Engineering, Second Edition presents a vision of systems engineering where precise specification of requirements, structure, and behavior meet larger concerns such as safety, security, reliability, and performance in an agile engineering context. World-renowned author and speaker Dr. Bruce Powel Douglass incorporates agile methods and model-based systems engineering (MBSE) to define the properties of entire systems while avoiding errors that can occur when using traditional textual specifications. Dr. Douglass covers the lifecycle of systems development, including requirements, analysis, design, and the handoff to specific engineering disciplines.In addition to agile SE, the workflows and practices of Model-Driven Dev Sec Ops (MDDSO) is introduced and discussed. In this updated edition, all examples and discussion use SysML v2 and are rendered in the Cameo System Modeler tool. Throughout the book, Dr. Douglass couples agile methods with SysML and MBSE to arm system engineers with the conceptual and methodological tools they need to avoid specification defects and improve system quality while simultaneously reducing the effort and cost of systems engineering.

    Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Safety-Critical Systems: A Comprehensive Guide provides engineers and system designers who are exploring the application of AI/ML methods for safety-critical systems with a dedicated resource on the challenges and mitigation strategies involved in their design. The book's authors present ML techniques in safety-critical systems across multiple domains, including pattern recognition, image processing, edge computing, Internet of Things (IoT), encryption, hardware accelerators, and many others. These applications help readers understand the many challenges that need to be addressed in order to increase the deployment of ML models in critical systems. In addition, the book shows how to improve public trust in ML systems by providing explainable model outputs rather than treating the system as a black box for which the outputs are difficult to explain. Finally, the authors demonstrate how to meet legal certification and regulatory requirements for the appropriate ML models. In essence, the goal of this book is to help ensure that AI-based critical systems better utilize resources, avoid failures, and increase system safety and public safety.
