MBSE Framework


The framework for implementing MBSE consists of two parallel engineering processes: domain engineering and application engineering. Domain engineering is a process of analysis, specification, and implementation of software assets in a domain which are used in the development of multiple software products. Domain engineers are usually part of an engineering and research center, developing assets that simplify and shorten the application engineering cycle.

Application engineering is an engineering change process that develops software applications from software assets. Application engineers are usually part of a product development team, composing applications from assets and developing custom features from scratch.
The Software Engineering Institute (SEI) is a federally funded research and development center sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense and operated by Carnegie Mellon University.
