该小组的目的是提出一系列愿景，说明系统工程（SE）将如何在未来十年通过当前研发（R&D）下的概念开发和应用来改变系统工程。对最重要和最具创新性的系统工程计划和技术进行了一项调查，包括:过程方法、技术和标准工程环境和工具建模和仿真所确定的最具影响力的计划和技术的代表被邀请成为小组成员。小组成员概述了他们的计划或技术，并参与了问答环节，以获得进一步的理解。最后一次高峰会议评估了学术界、政府和工业界正在采取的方法的有效性。

The purpose of this panel was to present a set of visions about how Systems Engineering (SE) will transform the engineering of systems in the next decade through development and application of concepts under current Research and Development (R&D). A survey was done of the most significant and innovative systems engineering Initiatives and Technologies covering:ProcessesMethods, techniques and standardsEngineering environments and toolsModeling and simulationRepresentatives of the most influential Initiatives and Technologies identified were invited to become panelists. Panelists presented an overview of their Initiatives or Technologies and engaged in question and answer periods to elicit further understanding. A final capstone session assessed the effectiveness of the approaches being taken by academia, government and industry.
