Setting systems and simulation life cycle processes side by side

The long lasting close interaction between modeling and simulation (M&S) and systems engineering disciplines is leading to a more integrative approach, namely M&S based systems engineering. It emphasizes the extensive employment of modeling and simulation all through the life cycle of systems engineering efforts. The success of M&S based systems engineering depends on the quality of simulations utilized. Further, simulations are also man-made systems, thus they necessitate a system engineering approach. Utilization of systems engineering for engineering of simulation systems is called simulation systems engineering. While ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288:2015 proposes process descriptions for life cycle of systems, IEEE 1730-2010 recommends a life cycle process framework for simulations. This paper addresses the comparison, integration and augmentation of these two standards, thereby attempting to contribute towards an integrative life cycle process.
