Practical Model-Based Systems Engineering

This comprehensive resource provides systems engineers and practitioners with the analytic, design and modeling tools of the Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodology of Integrated Systems Engineering (ISE) and Pipelines of Processes in Object Oriented Architectures (PPOOA) methodology. This methodology integrates model based systems and software engineering approaches for the development of complex products, including aerospace, robotics and energy domains applications. Readers learn how to synthesize physical architectures using design heuristics and trade-off analysis. The book provides information about how to identify, classify and specify the system requirements of a new product or service. Using Systems Modeling Language (SysML) constructs, readers will be able to apply ISE & PPOOA methodology in the engineering activities of their own systems Review As an expert in the field, I can only state the authors Jose L. Fernandez and Carlos Hernandez can get peace of mind knowing that this book very soon will become an obligatory and unique reference for all systems engineering community and practitioners worldwide. Professor Fernandez has been a recognized pioneer in promoting teaching and research in systems engineering both nationally and internationally. This book is a rich legacy of all Fernandez s wisdom with a long career behind in systems engineering and requirements engineering methodologies. It is much more than purely theoretical providing real examples for the readers without any doubt an evident advantage over other numerous publications. –Dr. Bernardo A.
