Abstract

With the ever-increasing complexity of modern systems, integrating Software and Systems Engineering has become a key imperative. Cognitive assistants, central to AIM Process as described in AI-Assisted MBSE, are embodied AI agents that augment the performance of systems engineers by automating or enhancing various tasks throughout the system development lifecycle.

These AI-driven personas support requirements discovery, use case generation, wireframe creation, user interface design and coding, database design and coding, embedded code generation, automated testing, as well as logical architecture, physical architecture, state modeling, and parametric simulation.

By leveraging Augmented Intelligence as defined by Madni, cognitive assistants help engineers manage complexity, improve efficiency, and reduce errors, ultimately accelerating the co-design of integrated hardware and software systems.
