Welcome to the Open System Engineering Environment (OSEE)

OSEE provides a tightly integrated environment that supports lean engineering across the full product life-cycle. Since OSEE integrates all engineering areas, the full lifecycle data for a product is managed by a common platform allowing this data to be seamlessly combined to form a coherent, accurate view of a project in real-time. At the heart of the OSEE architecture are the OSEE core services and application framework which are available to all the OSEE applications and enable their tight integration.

The vision for OSEE finds concrete grounding in daily use by Subject Matter Experts developing next generation mission software for an existing Boeing aircraft. This direct involvement with a full-scale deployment of OSEE allows important user feedback to be rapidly incorporated back into both OSEE itself and as lessons learned for the development team.

Since OSEE has been developed for use by separate groups of end users, careful attention has been given to providing a proper separation of core OSEE capabilities and specific extensions made for various groups. The requirement to support separate groups has helped ensure that OSEE is extensible through standard Eclipse mechanisms. The OSEE architecture is designed to provide an integrated, extensible engineering environment that can be adopted by any group engaged in engineering.
Getting Started

  1. If this is your first time using OSEE, it is recommended that you begin by learning the Workbench and how to navigate around.  The few minutes you spend here will enable quick and efficient use of the basic framework.  Start by Selecting Help -> Help Content -> Workbench Users Guide.

  2. From there, it is recommended that you look through any of the items in the Help Contents that correlate to your specific tasks. You can also press F1 at any time for context-sensitive help.
