Nature and Man both reuse designs and concepts if one looks for them. Dr. Cloutier’s research involves identifying and documenting large systems architecture and systems engineering patterns, reference architectures, and frameworks for large systems, and providing guidance for reusing these patterns moving forward. He is exploring best practices in documenting these patterns and frameworks for reuse, using systems engineering modeling techniques like SysML and DSM. Other related work is investigating a more graphical approach to modeling the concept operations for complex systems, managing systems architecture, architecture entropy and system clockspeed, agile systems engineering process, and integrating functional and use case (OO) methodologies.
The goal of his research is to identify or develop best practices and new approaches that will assist the systems architect and systems engineer practitioner in managing the growing complexity and diversity of systems and system of systems. Dr. Cloutier maintains a blog and repository on his work that can be found at http://www.patterns4se.com.
He belongs to the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE), IEEE, and ACM. Dr. Cloutier has received several honors and awards including the Alexander Crombie Humphreys Distinguished Teaching Associate Professor award. |
