The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) has selected a paper by Professor Alessandro Golkar and Skoltech President Edward Crawley to receive the Systems Engineering journal’s 2014 Best Paper of the Year Award, reports the university’s website.
Skoltech professor Alessandro Golkar.
The paper, named A Framework for Space Systems Architecture under Stakeholder Objectives Ambiguity proposes to integrate methods from systems engineering, computational systems architecting, multidisciplinary systems design and optimization, uncertainty modeling, utility theory, and social science research.
An abstract read: "It allows decisionmakers to visualize an architectural synthesis of aerospace systems, understanding negative impacts of ambiguity, and supporting negotiations among stakeholders for efficient compromise in systems architecting."
The award was announced at the INCOSE International Symposium IS 2015 in Seattle, coinciding with the event’s 25th Anniversary Edition.
Golkar, who heads Skoltech’s Strategic Innovation Research Group (SIRG) and only recently clinched the prestigious Luigi G. Napolitano Award thanked the journal’s editorial board.
“I am delighted by this award and the recognition from INCOSE”, said the Italian-born Skoltech researcher, whose team of researchers focuses in systems design for Space, Energy, and other applications, and concepts such as ‘space as a service’ and Federated Satellite Systems.
