Abstract

November 18, 2008 Tutorial: “An Introduction to the OMG Systems Modeling Language (OMGSysMLTM)”
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 (OMG) 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 analysis. SysML represents a subset of UML 2.0 with extensions needed to satisfy the requirements of the UML™ for Systems Engineering RFP. This tutorial provides an introduction to how SysML can address the needs of the systems engineer. It includes background and motivation, an overview of the SysML diagram types and language concepts, and selected sample problems to demonstrate how the language can be used as part of a typical SE process. The SysML specification was developed in response to requirements by a diverse group of tool vendors, end users, academia, and government representatives with sponsorship from both INCOSE and the OMG. The OMG SysML™ Specification was adopted in May 2006. For more information, go to http://www.omgsysml.org/. Prerequisites: Background in systems engineering. Exposure to UML helpful but not required.

November 19, 2008 Tutorial: “Object-Oriented SystemsEngineering Method (OOSEM)”
Objectives: This introductory course would provide the student with an understanding of:

  • An overview of OOSEM activities and modeling artifacts
  • Some key modeling concepts that support system specification and design.

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 the extension to UML for systems engineering called the OMG Systems Modeling Language (OMGSysML™). OOSEM brings to Systems Engineering a technique for leveraging some of the expressiveness of SysML and 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. Prerequisites: Background in systems engineering. Exposure to SysML.

Biography

Sanford leads an effort to enable model-based systems development across Lockheed Martin in support of the Corporate Systems and Software Initiative. His experience includes the system life cycle from conceptual design, through development and production on a broad range of systems. He has been a systems engineering department manager, and a lead developer of advanced systems engineering processes and methods including the Lockheed Martin Integrated Enterprise Process and the OOSEM. Mr. Friedenthal also was a leader of the Industry Standards effort through the OMG and INCOSE to develop the Systems Modeling Language OMGSysML ™ that was adopted by the OMG in 2006, and is co-author of “A Practical Guide to SysML”.
