‘UML for systems engineering – watching the wheels’ and 'SysML for systems engineering'

UML

Now in its second edition and fully updated to cover the latest version of the notation - UML 2.0 Includes chapters on ‘life cycle management’ and ‘architectures’. Published by the IET.

SysML

A new book giving a pragmatic introduction to SysML - the systems modelling language - written by Jon Holt and Simon Perry has just been published by the IET.

The theoretical aspects and syntax of SysML are covered and each concept is explained through a number of example applications. All aspects of the language are covered and are discussed in an independent and frank manner, based on practical experience of applying the SysML in the real world.

Systems Modelling Training

The emphasis for technical activities is often limited to what has often been referred to as "early life cycle activities" such as: requirements, analysis and design issues. However, these technical issues cover a far wider scope, ranging from the statement of the original vision for the project, through requirements, analysis and design, right through to implementation, transition, operations and finally, the disposal of the system. Of course, each of these activities will also include elements of verification and validation. Proper understanding of these activities, their outputs and relationships allows their complexity to be managed and communicated effectively throughout a project. These issues may be addressed by the effective use of modelling.

Brass Bullet Ltd. offers a number of course modules to aid systems engineers in successfully applying modelling techniques to their projects, using the Unified Modelling Language and the newly developed Systems Modelling Language.
