Simpkins also serves as president of the Alamo start-up INCOSE chapter in San Antonio, Texas, Chair of INCOSE's Department of Energy Facilities Interest Group and is an active committee member of INCOSE's Latin American and Caribbean Initiative, Anti-Terrorist International Working Group and the Circle Award Review Team.
Simpkins along with Debbie Sandor, PMP, Lead Systems Engineer for the National Renewable Laboratory's newly established Systems Integration Office, will also deliver a white paper: "Using Core model-based systems engineering (MBSE) software to support program management in the US Department of Energy (DOE) Office of the Biomass Programme", at INCOSE's 17th Annual International Symposium, to be held from 24th to 28th June 2007, in San Diego, California.
They will discuss biomass project management development.
Although biomass research has been a cornerstone of the DOE's renewable energy development and deployment efforts for 25 years, it is now poised to bring biomass-derived biofuels to market as a sustainable, domestic alternative to petroleum-derived fuels.
The DOE programme is using Vitech's Core - an integrated software tool that allows engineers to simultaneously and collaboratively manage system requirements, model behaviours, create architecture frameworks, design solutions or new products and validate results to reduce risks, lower costs and improve project outcomes - to not only organise, co-ordinate and document the program goals, milestones and tasks in a central repository for entire team access, but Core is facilitating management and allowing simultaneous communication of the programme's status to the team.
Simpkins is one of five Vitech System Engineers who will deliver keynote presentations, share technical white papers and serve as panel moderators to support this year's conference theme: "Systems engineering: key to intelligent enterprises".
