Presents modeling approaches that can be performed in SysML and other modeling languages This book combines the emerging discipline of systems architecting with model-based approaches using SysML. The early chapters of the book provide the fundamentals of systems architecting; discussing what systems architecting entails and how it benefits systems engineering. Model-based systems engineering is then defined, and its capabilities to develop complex systems on time and in a feasible quality are discussed. The remainder of the book covers important topics such as: architecture descriptions; architecture patterns; perspectives, viewpoints, views and their relation to system architecture; the roles of a system architect, their team, and stakeholders; systems architecting processes; agile approaches to systems architecting; variant modeling techniques; architecture frameworks; and architecture assessment. The book's organization allows experts to read the chapters out of sequence. Novices can read the chapters sequentially to gain a systematic introduction to system architecting. Model-Based System Architecture: Provides comprehensive coverage of the Functional Architecture for Systems (FAS) method created by the authors and based on common MBSE practices Covers architecture frameworks, including the System of Systems, Zachman Frameworks, TOGAF®, and more Includes a consistent example system, the “Virtual Museum Tour” system, that allows the authors to demonstrate the systems architecting concepts covered in the book Model-Based System Architecture is a comprehensive reference for system architects and systems engineers in technology companies. This book will also serve as a reference to students and researchers interested in functional architectures.

UML, the Universal Modeling Language, was the first programming language designed to fulfill the requirement for "universality." However, it is a software-specific language, and does not support the needs of engineers designing from the broader systems-based perspective. Therefore, SysML was created. It has been steadily gaining popularity, and many companies, especially in the heavily-regulated Defense, Automotive, Aerospace, Medical Device and Telecomms industries, are already using SysML, or are plannning to switch over to it in the near future. However, little information is currently available on the market regarding SysML. Its use is just on the crest of becoming a widespread phenomenon, and so thousands of software engineers are now beginning to look for training and resources. This book will serve as the one-stop, definitive guide that provide an introduction to SysML, and instruction on how to implement it, for all these new users. *SysML is the latest emerging programming language--250,000 estimated software systems engineers are using it in the US alone! *The first available book on SysML in English *Insider information! The author is a member of the SysML working group and has written sections of the specification *Special focus comparing SysML and UML, and explaining how both can work together

Systems Engineering with SysML/UML

The popular Unified Modeling Language (UML) is both a language and notation developed by the Object Management Group (OMG) used to design and create specifications for software systems. With the recent release of version 2.0 UML, the OMG has started the OMG-Certified UML Professional Program to provide an objective measure of UML knowledge. As a certified UML professional a developer has an important credential to present to employers and clients. Certification also benefits companies looking for skilled UML practitioners by giving them a basis for making hiring and promotion decisions. UML 2 Certification Guide is the only official study guide to passing the new UML exams. This book systematically covers all of the topics covered in the exams, and has been carefully reviewed by the OMG. The book begins by assuming only a basic knowledge of UML and then progresses far enough to allow a reader to pass both the fundamental and the intermediate level exams. Along the way the book also covers topics that are not in introductory books on UML but that are necessary to pass the exams. Tim Weilkiens is considered one of the top ten experts on UML, and both authors have extensive experience training developers to successfully take the exams. The official certification resource Assumes a basic knowledge of UML so that you can focus immediately on the exams Written by two authors known for their skill as trainers, consultants, and developers Developed systematically to enable you to master all exam topics—without exception Covers the use of UML for applications, as required by the exams, both inside and outside of the realm of software development Includes a practice exam, glossary, list of books, and website information

SysML does not provide explicit built-in language constructs to model variants. Nevertheless SysML is useful to create a model for variants. The VAMOS method presented in the book Variant Modeling with SysML is one option how to model variants with SysML.

Variant Modeling with SysML

Systeme bestehen aus Bausteinen unterschiedlicher Disziplinen wie Hardware, Software oder Mechanik. Der Fortschritt ermöglicht immer komplexere Systeme, der Markt fordert immer schnellere Entwicklungszeiten, und die Globalisierung führt zu international verteilten Entwicklungsteams. Das Systems Engineering mit seiner ganzheitlichen, disziplinenübergreifenden Sichtweise hat in diesem Umfeld eine herausragende Bedeutung. Das Buch zeigt anhand des pragmatischen Modellierungsvorgehens SYSMOD und eines durchgängigen Fallbeispiels die Methoden der Systemmodellierung mit der Systems Modeling Language (OMG SysML (TM)). Den Sprachen SysML und UML (TM) (auf der SysML basiert) ist jeweils ein eigenes Kapitel gewidmet, das alle Sprachelemente behandelt. Ein weiteres Kapitel beschreibt die Spracherweiterung der SysML (Profil) für SYSMOD. Im Anhang befinden sich eine Übersetzung der englischen Begriffe und ein umfangreiches Glossar. Die 3. Auflage basiert auf der aktuellen SysML-Version 1.4, die einige Neuerungen mitbringt. Ebenso enthält sie auch die Elemente der Vorgängerversion 1.3, die es zum Zeitpunkt der 2. Auflage noch nicht gegeben hat. SYSMOD adressiert jetzt explizit die Architekturtypen: Basisarchitektur, logische Architektur, physische Produktarchitektur und funktionale Architektur. Weiter wurde ein neues Kapitel zur Vorbereitung auf die OCSMP-(OMG Certified Systems Modeling Professional-)Zertifizierung der OMG aufgenommen. "Zusammen mit der weltweiten Systems-Engineering-Zertifizierung (inklusive SysML) ist jetzt ein guter Zeitpunkt, um geradewegs zu starten, die SysML zu lernen und anzuwenden. Dieses Buch ist eine fantastische Unterstützung für dieses Vorhaben." (Aus dem Geleitwort von Richard Mark Soley, OMG)
