BioInspired! So What? Now What!

The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) publishes the quarterly magazine INSIGHT.  The April 2016 issue edited by Larry Pohlmann, Curt McNamara and George Studor of the Natural Systems Working Group (NSWG) was on the theme of Natural Systems.  The articles listed below are publicly available at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rxd1xj68ipqq1zf/AADG3QZ16-AIbhfUHJPm-Gjma?dl=0, sorted by the last name of the primary author.  A number of BID Community members contributed articles.

The presentations are posted to Dropbox at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/k5ob9lkz2qyd78u/AABRJ7WvWbpCkR3t2T-ixtzha?dl=0

This event organized by the Natural Systems Working Group was held in Los Angeles on January 25-26.  The website has pointers to many of the presentations given at the workshop.  The first two by George Studor and Larry Pohlmann give an overview of the synergy between Systems Engineering and Natural Systems.  Studor's presentation includes a list of universities that are in some way involved in bio-inspired design. 

Thanks to Curt McNamara for the pointer!
