Editorial Board

Editor in Chief

 View BKCASE Profile

The BKCASE editorial board is made up of editors appointed for their expertise in Systems Engineering and their experience in authoring and editing technical publications.

The current editors are listed below against the BKCASE product for which they have the primary responsibility.  If you have questions or comments about aspects of the BCKASE project the assigned editor should be your first port of call.

Editors are organized into teams which work together with selected authors and reviewers and the SE community to ensure sustainment and evolution of the BKCASE products.  Editorial teams are organized around the 7 SEBoK Parts, as shown below.  Senior editors have been identified for some part teams to provide leadership and coordination within the team if needed.

In addition, a small number of cross cutting teams provide additional focus on topics relevant to BKCASE. The current cross cutting editorial teams are:

• GRCSE team, are responsible for the current GRCSE product and for developing plans for future updates.
• Integration team, are responsible for review of the SEBoK to identify any cross cutting integration issues and help the relevant part teams to resolve them.
• Model Base SE team, are responsible for reviewing the ways in which the use of models in the practice of SE, in particular recent work on Model Based SE (MBSE), are covered across the SEBoK. They will recommend and help implement a strategy to ensure this important aspect of SE knowledge is fully covered by the SEBoK.
