'''Model-based systems engineering''' ('''MBSE''') is a [[systems engineering]] methodology that focuses on creating and exploiting [[___domain model]]s as the primary means of information exchange between engineers, rather than on document-based information exchange.

More recently, the focus has also started to cover aspects related to the model execution in computer simulation experiment, to further overcome the gap between the system model specification and the respective simulation software. As a consequence, the term '''Modelingmodeling and Simulationsimulation-based Systemssystems Engineeringengineering''' ('''M&SBSE''') has also been used along with MBSE.<ref>{{cite book|editor1-last=Gianni|editor1-first=Daniele|editor2-last=D'Ambrogio|editor2-first=Andrea|editor3-last=Tolk|editor3-first=Andreas|title=Modeling and Simulation-Based Systems Engineering Handbook|date=December 2014|publisher=CRC Press|___location=USA|isbn=9781466571457|edition=1|url=}}</ref>

The MBSE approach was popularized by [[International Council on Systems Engineering|INCOSE]] when it kicked off its MBSE Initiative in January 2007.{{citation needed|date=August 2015}} Goals included increased productivity, by minimizing unnecessary manual transcription of concepts when coordinating the work of large teams. The MBSE approach is outlined in INCOSE's "MBSE 2020 Vision", with a methodology focusing on distributed but integrated model management.
