Tutorial Details:

Day 1 - Friday, April 29, 2011:
"An Introduction to the OMG Systems Modeling Language (OMG SysML™)"

Tutorial Objectives:

This introductory course should provide the student with an understanding of:

- Benefits of model-based approaches for systems engineering

- SysML diagrams and language concepts

- The role of SysML in a model-based SE process

Tutorial Description:   

The Object Management Group Systems Modeling Language (OMG SysML™) is a general purpose graphical modeling language for specifying, analyzing, designing, and verifying complex systems that may include hardware, software, information, personnel, procedures, and facilities. In particular, it provides graphical representations with a semantic foundation for modeling system requirements, behavior, structure, and constraints that support a broad range of engineering analyses. SysML represents a subset of UML 2.0, with extensions needed to satisfy the requirements of the UML for Systems Engineering RFP. For more information on SysML, including articles, tool vendor and related links, and the specification, go to http://www.omgsysml.org. 

This tutorial provides an introduction to how SysML can address the needs of the systems engineer. It includes background and motivation, and an overview of the SysML diagram types and language concepts. A class exercise is included to help solidify the student’s understanding of the language.

Prerequisites:

Background in systems engineering. Exposure to UML is helpful, but not required. 

Students are encouraged to bring their laptops if they wish.  Students should download the ‘Model-Based Systems Engineering with the SysML’ Tutorial from the APL Technology Transfer website: http://www.jhuapl.edu/ott/Technologies/Copyright/SysML.asp.   

Please download this prior to the SysML Tutorial and bring a soft copy on your computer if you wish. Each participant will need to sign a typical license for using this material. The web site also has materials from a full course that is available for download.

Day 2 - Saturday, April 30, 2011:
"An Introduction to the Object-Oriented Systems Engineering Method (OOSEM)"

Tutorial Objectives:

This introductory course would provide the student with an  overview of OOSEM activities, modeling artifacts, and concepts

Tutorial Description:   

This tutorial will introduce an Object-Oriented Systems Engineering Method (OOSEM), which integrates a top-down systems approach with object-oriented concepts and modeling techniques. This method uses SysML as the modeling language. OOSEM brings to Systems Engineering a technique for leveraging some of the expressiveness of SysML and some of the advantages of OO to help architect more flexible, extensible, and upgradeable systems with new, evolving technology. Another major goal of OOSEM is ease of integration with object-oriented methods for software engineering, and integration with hardware engineering and other disciplines. The tutorial will provide an overview of the model-based method for needs analysis, requirements analysis, logical design, physical design, and supporting activities. OOSEM is described in more detail in Chapter 16 of “A Practical Guide to SysML”.

Prerequisites:

Background in systems engineering.  Introductory Course in SysML or previous experience with SysML.

Presenter Biography:

Mr. Sanford Friedenthal

Sanford Friedenthal’s 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 including missile systems, electro-optical navigation and targeting systems, and information systems. He has been a systems engineering department manager and a lead developer of advanced systems engineering processes and methods. Mr. Friedenthal also has been a leader of the Industry Standards effort through the Object Management Group and INCOSE to develop the Systems Modeling Language (OMG SysML™) that was adopted in 2006. He co-authored the book “A Practical Guide to SysML”.

Mr. Friedenthal recently became an independent consultant after a career at Lockheed Martin. As a Lockheed Martin Fellow, he led an initiative to advance the practice of Model Based Systems Development (MBSD) across the corporation. In this capacity, he was responsible for developing and implementing strategies to institutionalize the practice of MBSD across the LM Business Units. Mr Friedenthal also provided direct model based systems engineering support to multiple programs across the Business.
