Alignment of Agile and Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) Principles in Systems Engineering

open access: yesSystems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Organizations have consistently sought faster and more efficient methods for producing and delivering products. Agile principles offer essential guidance for shaping their policies and practices. The Agile Manifesto (AM) outlines 12 core principles for guiding software development but can also be applied in other contexts.

Graph neural network‐based attack prediction for communication‐based train control systems

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) have emerged as one of the key security challenges to industrial control systems. APTs are complex multi‐step attacks, and they are naturally diverse and complex. Therefore, it is important to comprehend the behaviour of APT attackers and anticipate the upcoming attack actions.

Incorporating reef condition into conservation planning to meet place‐based biodiversity outcomes under the Global Biodiversity Framework

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract To achieve Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) Target 3, the selection of protected areas must consider the condition of ecosystems at sites in addition to the GBF 30% area target. Implementing this consideration for coral reef ecosystems is challenging because data describing condition are patchy and limited.

A Formal Method for Conceptual Fit Analysis

open access: yesComplex Systems Informatics and Modeling Quarterly, 2015
One criterion that has received little attention in Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) systems selection is what we call conceptual fit. The criterion assesses the fit between the conceptual structure of the user requirements and that of a candidate system.
