Upcoming Chapter Meeting Events • Thursday, October 20, 2016: October Chapter Meeting
Dr. Michael Pennock, Assistant Professor, School of Systems and Enterprises, Stevens Institute of Technology
Defense Acquisition: A Tragedy of the Commons
Defense acquisition programs are notorious for their cost overruns, schedule delays, and performance shortfalls. While there are likely numerous contributing factors to this state of affairs, one frequently cited cause is the overreliance on immature technology. Dr. Pennock will talk about his recent work, in modeling how acquisition programs work. It reveals that when differing stakeholder interests come into play, the program suffers from a classic tragedy of the commons. This work has implications for the policy makers, managers, and engineers that are responsible for developing and deploying defense systems.
• Thursday, November 17, 2016: November Chapter Meeting Dr. Richard Turner, Research Professor, Stevens Institute of Technology
Agile Systems Engineering
Dr. Turner performs research in lean and agile methods, and the interface between software and systems engineering. He is a principal investigator at the Systems Engineering Research Center, a university-affiliated research center sponsored by the DoD. He teaches courses in software engineering, systems engineering and systems acquisition. In this talk, he will present the results of his latest research in agile systems engineering methods.
• Meetings begin at 6:00 pm and run to approximately 7:30 pm
