Workshop on Model-based System Engineering and Artificial Intelligence - MBSE-AI Integration 2024

21 - 23 February, 2024 - Rome, Italy

In conjunction with the 12th International Conference on Model-Based Software and Systems Engineering - MODELSWARD 2024


CO-CHAIRS

Afef Awadid
IRT SystemX
France
 
Brief Bio
Afef Awadid is a researcher in systems and process engineering at the Technological Research Institute SystemX, where she has contributed to several joint R&D projects. As one impact of the digital transformation on industry is an increasing automation of business processes and the accompanying need for understanding their complexity, her research activities in these projects have largely focused on how to master such complexity using model-centric approaches. In 2019, she received a PhD in computer science from the University of Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne, where she served as a teaching assistant for two years. Her research interests include systems engineering, system architecture, Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based systems, decision-making, model-based approaches, and process engineering.
Olivia Penas
Technological Research Institute SystemX
France
 
Brief Bio
Dr. Olivia Penas received in 1999 the M.Sc. degree in Material Science Engineering, in 2002 the Ph.D. degree in Physics of Materials (Smart Space composites), from INSA Lyon (France), and in 2019 the HDR degree (French habilitation to supervise PhD). She was head of the research technical support teams of Supmeca in 2006, then Deputy Director of LISMMA Laboratory in 2013 and Research Deputy Director of ISAE-Supmeca (Paris) since 2015. From 2023, she is in charge of the Systems Engineering scientific axis at the IRT SystemX. Her main research topics are model-based systems engineering (MBSE), agility, mechatronic conceptual design, knowledge management and ontology, Agility, MBSE data consistency, formalization and interoperability.
Mohamed Ibn Khedher
Technological Research Institute SystemX
France
 
Brief Bio
Mohamed Ibn Khedher obtained his Ph.D. in computer science from Telecom SudParis in collaboration with the University of Evry, France. During his Ph.D., he developed software for person re-identification from video sequences. From 2015 to 2018, he worked as a software engineer at a research center specializing in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. Since 2018, he has been working as a Research Engineer at IRT-SystemX, focusing on trustworthy AI, which encompasses adversarial machine learning, explainable AI, and formal verification of neural networks. His primary interests include neural network verification, biometrics, early detection of neurodegenerative diseases, and anomaly detection. In terms of his scientific activities, he has published over thirty scientific publications in international conferences and journals. He has supervised more than twenty interns, including master's and PFE students, and has been involved in the supervision of four doctoral theses.
Bertrand Braunschweig
Technological Research Institute SystemX
France
 
Brief Bio
Bertrand Braunschweig began his career in the oil industry as a researcher in systems dynamics and artificial intelligence. He then joined IFP Énergies Nouvelles to manage AI research and coordinate international interoperability standards projects. He spent five years at the ANR as head of the ICST department, before joining Inria in 2011 as director of the Rennes research centre, then of the Saclay research centre, and then to steer the research component of the national AI strategy. He is now an independent consultant and provides support to various organisations, notably as scientific coordinator of the Confiance.ai programme operated by IRT SystemX. Bertrand Braunschweig is an ENSIIE engineer, PhD from Paris Dauphine University and Habilitation from Pierre and Marie Curie University.

SCOPE

AI-empowered MBSE (Model-based System Engineering)" is increasingly advocated as a promising approach to overcome MBSE challenges and to promote high-quality systems. At the same time, recent research projects such as the program "Confiance.ai" https://www.confiance.ai/ advocate an MBSE-empowered AI as a way to build trustworthy AI systems.
This workshop will be the opportunity to discuss how to choose, apply, evaluate and adapt AI techniques to support MBSE and how to adopt an MBSE approach to produce high-quality and reliable AI systems. Thus, “AI for MBSE” and “MBSE for AI” are both in the scope of the proposed workshop.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
  • AI for MBSE
  • AI techniques for traceability, consistency, and completeness of system engineering information
  • AI techniques to support the automated translation of NL requirements into semi-machine-readable requirements
  • AI trustworthiness assessment for MBSE of critical systems
  • AI-supported modelling (e.g., bots, recommenders, UI adaptation, etc.)
  • AI-supported requirements modeling
  • Application of (meta-heuristic) search and machine learning to system modeling problems
  • Automation and AI-support of MBSE activities
  • Data quality and privacy issues in AI for MBSE
  • MBSE approaches for explainable and fair AI
  • MBSE approaches for reliability analysis of AI components
  • MBSE approaches for robust AI
  • MBSE for AI
  • MBSE languages and tools for robustness evaluation processes of AI components
  • MBSE-based guidelines for AI trustworthiness
  • MBSE-based testing/analysis of AI components
  • Natural language processing applied to modelling, including Large Language Models (LLM) and Generative AI
  • Reinforcement learning for modelling tasks optimization
  • Trust and trustworthiness in AI ethics for MBSE

AI Requirements for an Effective Adoption in an MBSE Context

Jean-Michel Bruel
University of Toulouse, France
France


Brief Bio
Jean-Michel Bruel has been head of the SM@RT team of the IRIT CNRS laboratory until September 2021. His research areas include the development of software-intensive Cyber-Physical Systems, and methods/model/language integration, with a focus on Requirements and Model-Based Systems Engineering. He defended his “Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches” in December 2006 and obtained in 2008 a full professor position at the University of Toulouse . He has been Laboratory Representative for the Toulouse 2 Jean Jaurès University from 2016 to 2020. He has been head of the Computer Science department of the Technical Institute of Blagnac in 2009-2012 and 2021-2023 and has been a member of the Strategic Research Committee of the IRIT CNRS laboratory since 2021. He is the holder of the Chair of Model-Driven Systems Engineering between AIRBUS and Toulouse 2 Jean Jaurès University since 2022 and joined the International Research Laboratory in AI in 2023.


Abstract
Although recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) have shown promise, there remain inherent challenges that hinder their widespread adoption in critical systems development and operation. This talk will outline the essential criteria that AI approaches must meet to be effectively integrated into Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE).
