Talk Title: The Dilemmas of Cybersecurity---Why is Everything Broken?
Series: SERC Talks
Abstract: There are diverse barriers to advancement of strong cybersecurity, and many of these derive from unresolved conflicts among equities relating to technical means for high assurance, allocation of risk and liability, identity and attribution, deterrence and active defense, product and process evaluation, and diffusion of technology. What are the prospects, from a technical and policy perspective, to address these conflicts in ways that will enable higher levels of security?
Biography: William L. Scherlis is a Professor of Computer Science and Director of the Institute for Software Research (ISR) in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). He founded and led the CMU PhD Program in Software Engineering for its first decade of operation. He was Acting CTO for the Software Engineering Institute for 2012 and early 2013. Dr. Scherlis completed a Ph.D. in Computer Science at Stanford University, a year at the University of Edinburgh (Scotland) as a John Knox Fellow, and an A.B. at Harvard University in Applied Mathematics. His research relates to software assurance, cybersecurity, software analysis, and assured safe concurrency. Scherlis has testified before Congress on software sustainment, on information technology and innovation, and on roles for a Federal CIO. He interrupted his career at CMU to serve at Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for six years, departing in 1993 as a senior executive. Scherlis chaired the National Research Council (NRC) study committee that produced the report Critical Code: Software Producibility for Defense in 2010. He served multiple terms as a member of the DARPA Information Science and Technology Study Group (ISAT). He has been an advisor to major IT companies and a founder of CMU spin-off companies. Scherlis is a Fellow of the IEEE and a lifetime National Associate of the National Academy of Sciences. He is a emeritus member of the SERC Research Council in the area of Trusted Systems.

INCOSE-LA Chapter Speaker Meeting
Tue, Nov 14, 2017 @ 05:15 PM - 07:30 PM
Systems Architecting and Engineering, USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Ryan Noguchi , Director of the Space Architecture Department in the Systems Engineering Division at The Aerospace Corporation
Talk Title: Best Practices and Lessons Learned from Model-Based System Engineering Pilot Programs
Series: INCOSE-LA Speaker Series
Abstract: Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) can offer significant benefits to organizations responsible for managing their increasingly complex enterprises. However, implementing MBSE is not a straightforward task, and there are many pitfalls along the way. An incremental approach built on solid system architecting principles, focusing on supporting major stakeholder decisions, and informed by best practices and lessons learned from previous efforts offers the best chances of success. Five years of experience in working MBSE efforts at multiple levels have produced many lessons learned and recommended best practices. This report authored by Ryan Noguchi will be briefly summarized in his presentation.
Cost: INCOSE Members: FREE. Non-members: $10 (refreshments provided). See the registration link below.
Biography: Ryan Noguchi is the Director of the Space Architecture Department in the Systems Engineering Division at The Aerospace Corporation. Ryan received a B.S. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University and an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. He has been with The Aerospace Corporation for 20 years, and led numerous system acquisition, development, integration, and mission assurance efforts. His current responsibilities focus on the refinement and application of methodologies for model-based systems engineering, and system-of-systems engineering.
DIRECTIONS TO THE AEROSPACE CORPORATION
From the 105 Freeway traveling WEST:
1. Take the exit towards 405 South
2. Before getting onto the 405 Freeway, take the El Segundo Blvd exit
3. At the bottom of the ramp, turn left (west)
4. Turn right on Aviation Blvd.
5. Bldg. D8 will be on the third building on the Right, just past the discount bakery.
The facility is the third building from the corner of Aviation and El Segundo, just north of the discount bakery outlet. The facility has 4 gates, but only the southern-most gate is open. Identify yourself to the security guard as attending the INCOSE meeting. You can park where Security directs and enter through the lobby at the center of the building where the flag poles are. Knock on the first of the double doors, and someone will open the door for you. The handicap ramp is on the north side and can be reached by driving all the way around the back of the building. Inform the security guard if you plan to use that ramp.

Systems Architecting and Engineering, USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Troy A. Peterson, System Strategy, Inc.
Talk Title: Systems Engineering Transformation
Abstract: While complex systems transform the landscape, the Systems Engineering discipline is also experiencing a transformation to model based discipline. In alignment with this, one of the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) strategic objectives is to accelerate this transformation. INCOSE is building a broad community that promotes and advances model based methods. This model based transformation is necessary to advance the discipline and handle the seamless integration of computational algorithms and physical components across domains and traditional system boundaries. This presentation will cover current and planned INCOSE activities directed at accelerating this transformation.
