Dear all,
I hope this email list is the correct place to ask this question.
If not, I apologize but would you please be so kind to direct me to someone who could help me further.
I’m sending this mail on behalf of a small working group (see cc-list) that is looking into how to improve/transform the model-driven way of working from a pure software focus to a more multi-disciplinary systems engineering level for the companies in our region of Eindhoven (Netherlands). We want to provide a set of principles, best practices and recommendations. Most of the companies located in the region develop complex, high-tech, low volume equipment. In our investigation about what is going on in MDE in the rest of the world we of course encountered Topcased and the Polarsys initiative. The vision of Topcased resembles very much the vision we have for our activity. Thus there seems to be a natural match.
Although there is a lot of information available around Topcased, we find it difficult to find information about the actual industrial appliance of Topcased and the experiences, benefits and problems that were encountered.
We would very much appreciate it if we could come in contact with somebody that has experience with the application of Topcased (preferably within Airbus). We would like to discuss several questions we have with respect to Topcased and application of it. Some of the questions we have are:
- How broadly is Topcased being applied within Airbus?
- How do you measure the success of applying Topcased?
- How is Topcased being used? Software only, multi-disciplinary and/or by system engineers?
- What was the strategy of the management with respect to introducing Topcased?
- Topcased is meant to be process agnostic. To what extend has that been achieved?
- What experience is there with scaling up Topcased to large projects (100+ developers)?
- What other companies in space and military domain are using Topcased?
Your reaction is very much appreciated.
With kind regards, met vriendelijke groeten, cordialement, С уважением,
Paul Zenden
System Architect
