INCOSE Tool Vendor Challenge

Posted on June 9, 2011 by Graham

3SL has signed up to the INCOSE symposium tool vendor challenge.

Along with other vendors we’re waiting for the exact details of the ‘system’ to be developed. Using Cradle we’ll provide a break down of the system, how we handle the requirements, definition of the system’s environment and the hierarchical breakdown of its sub systems. A user’s interaction and data management and base-lining will also be demonstrated.

We hope to present our solution to the challenge at one of the scheduled symposium lunch break presentations, or provide our solutions on the IS2011 website.

Come and speak with us on stand 20, at the 21st INCOSE Annual International Symposium in Denver between 20th and 23rd June 2011.
