Day 1 –
-
Abstract: The INCOSE HSI Working Group welcomes participants to this year’s workshop, introducing the theme HSI Now: People, Practice and Potential. The session sets the tone for collaboration, emphasizing shared learning, exploration of current HSI practices, and collective efforts to shape the future of Human Systems Integration.
-
Abstract: Caitlyn Singam will be sharing about INCOSE's SySTEAM initiative that strives towards interdisciplinary systems skills being a foundation for every student at all levels of the school curricula. This talk highlights the potential for our current and future HSI people who will be the caretakers of societal progress, creating new practices, and harnessing technologies in digitally savvy and creative ways to engineer for our future challenges.

--:-- – --:--TopicModel-based HSI (J. Barras) Requirements: HSI & SYSML (Caitlyn Ryan) Human Digital Twin Ontology (Mike Miller) John S. Baras,Caitlyn Ryan,Mike MillerHSI fundamentals contempory challenges modelling Simulation
Abstract: Session on modeling, monitoring, valuation, and management of HSI using integrated model-based and data-driven techniques including trust, risk, and multi-metric trade analysis. Detailed walkthrough of modeling MIL-STD 1472H in SysML, highlighting digital engineering standards adoption challenges and access pathways via INCOSE SELab. Discussion of expanding digital twin ontology efforts to encompass human digital twins: applications, terminology alignment, and potential working group formation.

Abstract: Session 2.2 — Focus on HSI challenges and practices in medicine administration.
-
Abstract: Discussion on Human Systems Integration (HSI) measures and Human Readiness Levels (HRLs).
-
--:-- – --:--KeynoteComplex Adaptive and Self-organising Systems Patrick HoverstadtHSI fundamentals Critisizing
Abstract: Patrick Hoverstadt will explore how organisations function as complex adaptive systems, where people are not just components—but catalysts of transformation. Drawing on decades of experience with the Viable System Model and his work in The Grammar of Systems, Patrick will unpack how human agency, collaborative practice, and systemic awareness shape the potential of organisations to adapt, evolve, and thrive. This session will offer a compelling look at how embracing complexity, rather than resisting it, unlocks new possibilities for meaningful and sustainable change.
