MBSE

The change from a document-based to a model-based paradigm is a huge hurdle for companies. It is not only about learning new methods, languages, tools, and changing processes and policies. It is also about changing organizational structures and engineering culture. However, sometimes MBSE is applied as another set of administrative tasks and not as a real engineering methodology. Some companies “want” MBSE but do not understand how to “do” MBSE.

This book addresses the core principles, ethos, and meticulous attention to detail that define craftsmanship. It is not just a technical manual but a philosophical guide that inspires a deeper appreciation for the craftsmanship of engineers and fosters a culture of excellence and a community of practitioners who take pride in their craft.

Delve into a rich collection of patterns, practices, and principles (3Ps) for general modeling, SysML modeling, and more, that form the bedrock of MBSE craftsmanship, providing a robust foundation for engineers to hone their skills and take pride in their craft.

SYSMOD is an MBSE toolbox for pragmatic modeling of systems. It is well-suited for use with SysML. This book offers a set of methods with roles, inputs, and outputs, concrete modeling guidances, and examples showing how the methods can be applied with SysML.

• Requirements modeling, System Context, Use Cases
• Functional, Logical and Product Architectures
• Modeling guidances on how to create a SysML model
• Full-fledged SysML example
• Best Practices
• Complete definition of a profile for SYSMOD
• Adoption of MBSE in an Organization
• SysML v1.6 in a Nutshell

The research presented in this book covers considerations on how to utilize Systems Engineering (SE) and Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) concepts for the development of robust and dependable Smart Grids.

It discusses the specification and implementation of a standards-based Domain Specific Language (DSL), denoted as SGAM Toolbox. Furthermore, it demonstrates the application of this toolbox on the basis of different case studies.

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 on how to model variants with SysML. It uses the profile mechanism of SysML to extend the language with a concept for variant modeling. The concepts are core, variation point, variation, variant, variant constraint, and variant configuration. The book shows how to apply the concepts with standard SysML modeling tool.

Die Einführung neuer Technologien im Rahmen der Digitalisierung der maritimen Domäne führt zur Etablierung einer Vielzahl an heterogenen nicht kooperierenden Systemen in einer komplexen Systemumgebung. Mit der Einführung der e-Navigation möchte die International Maritime Organization (IMO) die Interoperabilität zwischen etablierten und künftigen Systeme unter Miteinbeziehung der jeweiligen operativeren Prozesse ermöglichen.
