A Plan for Model Curation at the US Army Armaments Center

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Recent Trends and Advances in Model Based Systems Engineering

Abstract

Model curation is an explicit requirement under the first goal of the Digital Engineering Strategy. Model curation is the active archival of quality models. Model curation traces to digital and data curation; however, research in this area is within its infancy. A literature search identified the three major sources that are pioneering the field. This paper provides a highlighted overview of the three pioneering sources for model curation. The US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command CCDC) Armaments Center (AC) is prioritizing the transformation to digital engineering through Model-Based Systems Engineering and the Integrated Model-Based Engineering Environment and has begun to investigate how to implement a model curation capability.
