Welcome to conference!
10:00 am – 10:15 am (US EDT)
Fabiano Armellini
DSM Tutorial
Tyson Browning
10:15 am – 11:15 (US EDT)
The DSM tutorial will provide an introduction to DSM and examples of mainstream applications to product, organization, and process architectures. It also includes a basic introduction to DMM and MDM. It’s primarily for those new to DSM methods and applications, but it also provides a helpful reorientation for those who have used DSM methods more specifically or sporadically. The main objective is to prepare people to appreciate the presentations they will see through the remainder of the conference.
Dr. Tyson R. Browning (Ph.D., M.I.T.) is a full Professor of Operations Management in the Neeley School of Business at Texas Christian University, where he conducts research on managing complex system development projects (integrating managerial and engineering perspectives) and teaches in the MBA program. Previously, Tyson worked for Lockheed Martin, the Lean Aerospace Initiative, Honeywell Space Systems, and Los Alamos National Laboratory. He co-authored the book Design Structure Matrix Methods and Applications.
Keynote
John Walmsley
John Walmsley will tell the story of the urgent pandemic development of an ICU-level ventilator and the critical role the right architecture played in the success.
StarFish Medical updated a 30 year-old design into a modern ventilator for COVID-19 in record time. Work began in April 2020 and, less than three months later, a successful regulatory submission was made to Health Canada. The ventilator avoids parts needed for existing ventilators to prevent supply chain conflicts and is made-in-Canada to ensure supply chain security.
John Walmsley is currently VP Strategic Relationships at StarFish Medical . He has over two decades’ experience turning technology into products at companies in UK, US and Canada. He has overseen the design of over 150 products, up to 30 concurrently. During his time as COO, StarFish was recognized as one of the Top Growing Companies in Canada. Recently, he led the ultra-fast creation and delivery of new ICU ventilators for the Government of Canada’s pandemic response. John is a fellow of the Institute of Physics, Chair of University Industry Advisory Boards and advisor to a number of startup companies.

Keynote Session
Heidi Jugovic
12:00 pm – 12:45 pm (US EDT)
The digital engineering transformation is industry’s answer to managing the increasing complexity of the systems we design, implement, and sustain. Specifically, we often capture architecture in Model Based Systems Engineering (MSBS) tools and languages in the hopes that we can apply more robust and partially automated techniques to analyzing our architectures for the qualities we want them to possess, such as low coupling and high cohesion. Unfortunately, we often only make half the leap that is necessary: transitioning from pictures to diagrams but not transitioning from diagrams to data, where analytical techniques can be leveraged. In addition, we often fail to update and curate our analysis over time. At SAIC we believe that creating well-formed models is only the first step in truly managing complexity. We believe that the data in the models must be analyzed with more than eyes on diagrams and that techniques such as DSM can be applied to MBSE data directly for more robust analysis. Furthermore, we believe there is a need to efficiently compare architecture to execution, and maintain architecture integrity over time.
Heidi Jugovic has 14 years of defense engineering expertise with an emphasis on results-driven Model Based Systems Engineering and enabling the digital transformation. She is an INCOSE Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP). She was Chair of the MBE Community of Practice for Northrop Grumman 2016-2018 and is currently co-chair of the Digital Engineering Community of Practice for SAIC. Heidi is an Army Veteran who served as a Missile Defense Early Warning Engineer/Operator/Technician (JTAGS) for two years and finds motivation as an engineer by making a difference in the mission and day-to-day effectiveness and safety of the Warfighter.
