The Systems Modeling Language

A Practical Guide to SysML, Third Edition, fully updated for SysML version 1.4, provides a comprehensive and practical guide for modeling systems with SysML. With their unique perspective as leading contributors to the language, Friedenthal, Moore, and Steiner provide a full description of the language along with a quick reference guide and practical examples to help you use SysML. The book begins with guidance on the most commonly used features to help you get started quickly. Part 1 explains the benefits of a model-based approach, providing an overview of the language and how to apply SysML to model systems. Part 2 includes a comprehensive description of SysML that provides a detailed understanding that can serve as a foundation for modeling with SysML, and as a reference for practitioners. Part 3 includes methods for applying model-based systems engineering using SysML to specify and design systems, and how these methods can help manage complexity. Part 4 deals with topics related to transitioning MBSE practice into your organization, including integration of the system model with other engineering models, and strategies for adoption of MBSE.

Key Features

  • Learn how and why to deploy MBSE in your organization with an introduction to systems and model-based systems engineering;
  • Use SysML to describe systems with this general overview and a detailed description of the Systems Modeling Language;
  • Review practical examples of MBSE methodologies to understand their application to specifying and designing a system;
  • Includes comprehensive modeling notation tables as an appendix that can be used as a standalone reference

Readership

System Engineers and Software Engineers, Designers and Programmers. Particularly the intersection of these two groups, often referred to as "System Software Engineers".

About the Author

Sanford Friedenthal is an industry leader in model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and an independent consultant. Previously, as a Lockheed Martin Fellow, he led the corporate engineering effort to enable Model-Based Systems Development (MBSD) and other advanced practices across the company. In this capacity, he was responsible for developing and implementing strategies to institutionalize the practice of MBSD across the company, and provide direct model-based systems engineering support to multiple programs. His experience includes the application of systems engineering throughout the system life cycle from conceptual design through development and production on a broad range of systems. He has also been a systems engineering department manager responsible for ensuring that systems engineering is implemented on programs. He has been a lead developer of advanced systems engineering processes and methods, including the Object-Oriented Systems Engineering Method (OOSEM). Sandy also was a leader of the industry team that developed SysML from its inception through its adoption by the OMG. Mr. Friedenthal is well known within the systems engineering community for his role in leading the SysML effort and for his expertise in model-based systems engineering methods. He has been recognized as an International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) Fellow for these contributions. He has given many presentations on these topics to a wide range of professional and academic audiences, both within and outside the US.

Alan Moore is an Architecture Modeling Specialist at The MathWorks and has extensive experience in the development of real-time and object-oriented methodologies and their application in a variety of problem domains. Previously at ARTiSAN Software Tools, he was responsible for the development and evolution of Real-time Perspective, ARTiSAN’s process for real-time systems development. Alan has been a user and developer of modeling tools throughout his career, from early structured programming tools to UML-based modeling environments. Mr. Moore is an active member of the Object Management Group and chaired both the finalization and revision task forces for the UML Profile for Schedulability and Performance and Time, and was a co-chair of the OMG’s Real-time Analysis and Design Working Group. Alan also served as the language architect for the SysML Development Team.

Rick Steiner is an Engineering Fellow at Raytheon and a Raytheon Certified Architect. He has focused on pragmatic application of systems engineering modeling techniques since 1993 and has been an active participant in the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) modelbased systems engineering activities. He has been an internal advocate, consultant, and instructor of model-driven systems development within Raytheon. Rick has served as chief engineer, architect, and lead system modeler for several largescale electronics programs, incorporating the practical application of the Object-Oriented Systems Engineering Method (OOSEM), and generation of Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) artifacts from complex system models. Mr. Steiner was a key contributor to the original requirements for SysML, the development of the SysML specification, and the SysML finalization and revision task forces. His main contribution to this specification has been in the area of allocations, sample problems, and requirements. He provided frequent tutorials and presentations on SysML and model-driven system development at INCOSE symposia and meetings, NDIA conferences, and internal to Raytheon.
