Traceability Support for Engineering Reviews of Horizontal Model Evolution

open access: yesSystems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT At its very core, model‐based systems engineering uses models to enable a multidisciplinary view on a system design in the early stages. These early stage models evolve horizontally: new diagrams for further perspectives and disciplines are added, using the same notation and the same abstraction level.
