CodeClinic will be presenting at the 36th Annual INCOSE International Symposium, taking place June 13–18, 2026 at Pacifico Yokohama in Yokohama, Japan.
As one of the leading global events for the systems engineering community, the INCOSE International Symposium brings together researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders to share ideas, methods, and innovations for managing complex systems.
At this year’s event, CodeClinic will present a session on how Multi-Domain Model (MDM) and Design Structure Matrix (DSM) techniques can help engineering teams improve traceability, strengthen security impact analysis, and gain better visibility into the dependencies that shape modern automotive system development.
About the INCOSE International Symposium
The INCOSE International Symposium is one of the premier annual gatherings for the global systems engineering community. The event features technical presentations, case studies, workshops, and discussions focused on the practices and technologies shaping the future of systems engineering.
It is a valuable forum for professionals working across complex, multidisciplinary environments, including automotive, aerospace, defense, software, and product development.
CodeClinic Presentation
CodeClinic’s accepted presentation is titled:
Deployment of a Multi-Domain Model DSM based Approach for Automotive System Development: Improving Traceability and Security Impact Analysis
The session will explore how modern automotive systems have become increasingly difficult to manage as vehicles incorporate large numbers of Electronic Control Units (ECUs), software components, communication networks, and engineering artifacts across organizational boundaries.
These challenges make it harder for systems engineering teams to maintain end-to-end traceability, perform effective impact analysis, ensure verification coverage, and assess how cybersecurity issues may propagate through interconnected systems.
What the Session Will Cover
The presentation will highlight how a Multi-Domain Model (MDM) approach can unify information from multiple engineering domains into a single dependency model, including:
- Requirements
- Electrical/electronic (E/E) architecture
- Software
- Verification and testing
It will also discuss how this approach supports:
- Improved traceability across complex automotive systems
- Cross-domain impact analysis
- Cybersecurity vulnerability impact analysis aligned with ISO/SAE 21434
- AI-assisted architecture analysis using the Model Context Protocol (MCP)
- Automated refactoring recommendations and architectural improvement
- Optimized test prioritization and shift-left verification strategies
Real-World Automotive Applications
The presentation will also share results from pilot deployments at automotive OEMs, where the MDM approach was used to consolidate data from sources such as AUTOSAR configurations, CAN database files, requirements management systems, and source code repositories into a unified model.
These pilots demonstrated how engineering teams can improve traceability gap detection, automate impact analysis across domain boundaries, and better prioritize verification efforts for complex vehicle architectures.
