Juliacon 2024

Model-based Design for System Product Development
07-10, 10:50–11:30 (Europe/Amsterdam), Struct (1.4)

JuliaHub has been developing JuliaSim - a modern modeling and simulation tool that leverages Julia and ModelingToolkit.jl’s unique capabilities. In this talk, we will show how JulaSim’s capabilities are being used across industrial, automotive and aviation firms. Gary Mansouri, Chief Architect of Systems MBE at Boeing, will join us for a conversation on the process of model based design.


This Birds of a Feather will discuss how JuliaHub and Boeing work together to build tools and Julia libraries for aviation and on the process of model based design and digital engineering related to systems product development.
This session will be lead by Gary Mansouri, Chief Architect of Systems MBE at Boeing and moderated by Chris Rackauckas and Viral Shah. Boeing is a leading global aerospace company and is committed to innovating for the future, leading with sustainability, and cultivating a culture based on the company’s core values of safety, quality and integrity.

Dr. Chris Rackauckas is the VP of Modeling and Simulation at JuliaHub, the Director of Scientific Research at Pumas-AI, Co-PI of the Julia Lab at MIT, and the lead developer of the SciML Open Source Software Organization. For his work in mechanistic machine learning, his work is credited for the 15,000x acceleration of NASA Launch Services simulations and recently demonstrated a 60x-570x acceleration over Modelica tools in HVAC simulation, earning Chris the US Air Force Artificial Intelligence Accelerator Scientific Excellence Award. See more at https://chrisrackauckas.com/. He is the lead developer of the Pumas project and has received a top presentation award at every ACoP in the last 3 years for improving methods for uncertainty quantification, automated GPU acceleration of nonlinear mixed effects modeling (NLME), and machine learning assisted construction of NLME models with DeepNLME. For these achievements, Chris received the Emerging Scientist award from ISoP.

Gary Mansouri is a Technical Fellow of The Boeing Company, located in Seattle, WA and currently serves as the Chief Architect of Systems MBE (Model Based Engineering). Gary specializes in systems modeling and simulation, systems architectures, model based technologies and model based design for vertical and non-vertical systems product development to improve safety and first pass quality. Gary’s primary focus is on implementation of earlier and longer defect discovery phase, much earlier verification test maturity, earlier and higher fidelity system integration, early functional rapid prototyping to validate requirements, improved model fidelity and IP protection, increased reuse of functions, earlier design maturity and standardization while dramatically reducing non-recurring development cost and cycle time. Gary has a strong technical background in a wide range of subjects including multi-disciplinary dynamic systems behavioral modeling and simulation, integrated vehicle systems architectures, actuators and sensors, real-time and non-real-time algorithm development, adaptive control systems design and analysis, digital signal processing, embedded systems, certified flight software development, model based system functional rapid-prototyping and modeling for code pattern development for software architecture definition, design model optimization for production autocode generation and target specific embedded performance, validation and verification and systems integration. Gary has broad engineering experience in Avionics, Electrical Subsystems, Actuation and Flight Controls and he has contributed to many programs in various technical and business leadership roles.
