  2. AI Assisted MBSE with SysML
    AI Assisted MBSE with SysML
    An Integrated Systems/Software Approach
    Tim Weilkiens, Doug Rosenberg, and Brian Moberley

    The book highlights the significance of software in systems engineering and uses AI as a subject matter expert. It presents a comprehensive example that covers SysML modeling, including requirements, use cases, logical/ physical architecture, and parametric simulation. It then continues into software, leveraging AI's code generation capabilities to produce software including microcontroller, UI, and DMBS code. It introduces a variety of personas and agents that can help engineers communicate with AI about systems and software engineering. The book also introduces SysML v2, focusing on the new language model and exploring AI's ability to generate models via code generation. Perhaps most importantly, it provides a straightforward roadmap for hardware/software co-design, accelerated at every step by AI. Whether you're a systems or software engineer, or just interested in how to use AI for engineering, AI Assisted MBSE with SysML will prove to be a valuable guide.

  6. Kalman Filters Made Easy
    Kalman Filters Made Easy
    A Practical, Intuitive Guide to Noise, Uncertainty, and Sensor Fusion for Engineers, Makers, and Robotics Developers
    Alex Morgan

    Kalman Filters Made Easy is a clear, intuitive introduction to one of engineering’s most powerful tools for dealing with noisy, imperfect, real‑world data. Instead of drowning you in equations, this book builds deep understanding through real examples — from drifting GPS signals to unpredictable sensor timing — and shows how engineers combine noisy measurements and imperfect models to estimate what’s really happening. If you work with robotics, drones, autonomous systems, or sensor‑driven devices, this guide gives you the mental models you need to design reliable systems in an uncertain world. This reflects the book’s core message: “The world gives us noisy, imperfect measurements. We want clean, reliable, accurate information. The filter is the bridge between the two.”

  7. General Systems Thinking
    General Systems Thinking
    An Introduction
    Gerald M. Weinberg

    A true classic, not just in computing but in the broad area of scholarship. It is partly about the philosophy and mechanisms of science; partly about designing things so they work but mostly it is about how humans view the world and create things that match that view. This book will still be worth reading for a long time to come. - Charles Ashbacher

  8. Knowledge Graphs & GraphRAG for Process Industry
    Knowledge Graphs & GraphRAG for Process Industry
    A short introductory hands-on guide for process data scientists
    Ankur Kumar

    This short book introduces process data scientists to knowledge graphs and GraphRAG, a powerful combination that overcomes the limitations of vanilla RAG when answering the kind of cross-document, relationship-heavy questions that process engineers usually care about. With a hands-on, application-driven approach, the book walks readers through the complete pipeline: designing an ontology for plant data, using LLMs to extract entities and relationships from incident reports, building and querying the graph in Neo4j, and finally assembling everything into a demo web application.
