Outcomes and Perspectives from the 4th ESA ModelBased Space Systems and Software Engineering Workshop (MBSE2023) on reducing the gap between model‐based systems engineering and domain‐specific approaches

Abstract In the context of its initiative to promote the adoption of model‐based approaches in the development of present and upcoming missions, the European Space Agency (ESA) organised this year its annual workshop on Model‐Based Space Systems and Software Engineering (MBSE2023) at its European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) premises. The aim of this year's workshop was to investigate how the model‐based systems engineering community could contribute to bridging the gap with domain‐specific model‐based approaches used in subsystem design. The World Café Method was used to facilitate the group discussions, the outcomes of which are summarized and presented in this paper.
