  Call for Panel Proposals  


We are soliciting panel proposals for the MOSA Industry and Summit that foster rich dialogue among industry, government, and technical experts. We welcome proposals that illuminate challenges, lessons learned, and future directions in MOSA implementation.

Panels should ideally include voices from both government and industry, with confirmed participants at time of submission. Cross-domain perspectives, forward-looking insights, and actionable audience takeaways will be favorably considered.

Note: All selected panelists will receive full Summit registration waivers for their participation days.

 
  Suggested Topics and Tracks  

These themes are intended to spark ideas; proposals outside these topics are encouraged, provided they align with the goals of MOSA adoption.

  • Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) with MOSA
  • AI/ML for system behavior, diagnostics, and optimization
  • Automation in architecture evaluation, test, and validation
  • Acquisition, budget and governance
  • Acquisition strategies that enable modularity
  • Funding and resource allocation for modular upgrades
  • Governance, oversight, and accountability in MOSA programs
