Model-Based Systems Analysis and Engineering: Comprehensive/Narrow Model Sharing and Collaboration Approaches

Model sharing approaches have been developed by Boeing and its partners to address an industry wide need of methods and standards in the collaboration and exchange of models for various domains and use cases. Comprehensive and Narrow Sharing are current and new approaches to address NASA’s for Model-Based Systems Analysis & Engineering (MBSA&E). The framework for Comprehensive and Narrow sharing has been built upon the Supplier Engagement Framework which has been undergoing proof of concept at Boeing through close collaboration with industry partners such as Collins. Comprehensive and Narrow Sharing also leverages Boeing internal best practices and external industry standards and methods for protection of Intellectual Property, model markings, configuration management and model identity meta data to aid in the formation of Technical Data Packages. The chosen approach whether Comprehensive or Narrow is unique to each use case and partners needs to allow for substantial data protection or data obfuscation. The developed workflows allow for OEM and supplier exchange and collaboration to accelerate the development and collaboration of systems.
