SysML an introduction to systems modelling language

Systems engineering modelling for the real world and for systems professionals.

About the course

The systems modelling language (SysML) is the first formal profile of the unified modelling language (UML) aimed specifically at systems engineering professionals. The UML has been used by systems engineers for many years, but the SysML provides a set of extension mechanisms that allow some system-related constructs, such as real-world physical constraints and physical flows and connections to be more-formally represented. The SysML has been in development for many years now and has only recently been fully agreed and specified. This long agreement process has seen the SysML evolve over several major iterations, including two separate proposals from different teams. As a consequence of this long and often confusing evolution, there are many misconceptions associated with the SysML such as its status as a profile, its autonomy as a language and just how it can be best applied for systems engineering.

Key benefits

• Gain knowledge of the key concepts of static and behavioural modelling;
• Obtain an understanding of each of the nine SysML diagrams and three cross-cutting notations, along with some examples of how they may be used in real-life situations;
• Covers an introduction to the background of SysML and its relation to the UML.

Who should attend?

Anyone with an interest in SysML, with no prerequisites needed.

The course material includes the book SysML for Systems Engineering written by course tutors Jon Holt and Simon Perry and published by the IET. This book provides a pragmatic introduction to systems engineering modelling language, SysML, aimed at systems engineering practitioners at any level of ability, ranging from students to experts. The theoretical aspects and syntax of SysML are covered and each concept is explained through a number of example applications. The book also discusses the history of the SysML and shows how it has evolved over a number of years. All aspects of the language are covered and are discussed in an independent and frank manner, based on practical experience of applying SysML in the real world.
