A Practical Guide to SysML: The Systems Modeling Language

A Practical Guide to SysML: The Systems Modeling Language

by Sanford Friedenthal, Alan Moore, Rick Steiner

Morgan Kaufmann | August 20, 2009 | Trade Paperback

Systems engineers and architects must understand how all the parts of a system work together to satisfy its requirements. SysML is a general purpose graphical modeling language used to specify, analyze, and design systems that may include hardware, software, and personnel. It allows engineers to describe how a system interacts with its environment, and how its parts must interact to achieve the desired system behavior and performance. The SysML model provides a shared view of the system, enabling a design team to surface issues early and prevent problems that would otherwise delay development and degrade design quality. Since SysML is based on UML, it also facilitates integration between systems and software development. SysML is now being adopted by companies across a broad range of industry, including Aerospace and Defense, Automotive, and IT System Developers.This book provides a comprehensive and practical guide for modeling systems with SysML. It includes a full description of the language along with a quick reference guide, and shows how the language can be applied to specify, analyze, and design systems. It contains examples to help readers understand how SysML can be used in practice. The book also includes guidance on how an organization or project can transition to model based systems engineering using SysML, with considerations for processes, methods, tools, and training. *The authoritative guide for understanding and applying SysML*Authored by the foremost experts on the language*Language description, examples, and quick reference guide included

From the Jacket

Until now, little consolidated information has been available on the market regarding SysML. However, this book changes all that! It provides new users with a comprehensive guide to SysML, including a full description of the language itself and detailed instructions on how to implement it. Exercises help readers gain practical experience working with SysML and extensive, real-world examples of actual successful projects demonstrate all the benefits the language can provide.

About the Author

Sanford Friedenthal is an MBSE Consultant. He has been an advocate for model-based systems engineering and a leader of the industry team that developed SysML from its inception through its adoption by the OMG.

From the Critics

"SysML is the new industry-standard language designed specifically to support modern systems engineering. I cannot imagine a better way to learn SysML than to read about it from the masters: Friedenthal, Moore, and Steiner led the design of this important new language and now cap that effort with this comprehensive and highly readable guide for both novices and experts."                                          -Bran Selic, Malina Software Corporation

"This book is just the ticket you need to get started on the road to adopting standards-based, model-based systems engineering (MBSE) methods. The authors have done an outstanding job in providing detailed coverage of the SysML language and semantics supported through worked examples."                                         -Jeff Estefan, Principal Engineer, NASA''s Jet Propulsion Laboratory

"The authors of this book have been invovlded in SysML development since its inception, and have the understanding necessary to explain it clearly. In particular, the activity diagrams chapter accurately and concisely describes the SysML extensions to UML for functional flow modeling."                                         -Conrad Bock, OMG Lead for Activity Modeling in SysML
