This is a practical guide on how best to apply systems modelling using the latest version of the SysML to real projects and businesses.
SysML is a tailored version of the unified modelling language (UML) that meets the needs of today’s systems engineering professional. This second edition of SysML for Systems Engineering provides a thorough introduction to the language and considers how best to apply it to projects and businesses using model-based systems engineering (MBSE).
This new edition of this popular text has been fully updated to reflect SysML 1.3, the latest version of the standard, and the discussion has been extended to show the power of SysML as a tool for systems engineering in an MBSE context. Beginning with a thorough introduction to the concepts behind MBSE, and the theoretical aspects and syntax of SysML, the book then describes how to implement SysML and MBSE in an organization, and how to model real projects effectively and efficiently, illustrated using an
extensive case study.
This is an essential introduction to the implementation of MBSE using SysML for research-based and practicing systems engineers, managers and students, systems architects, project managers, software engineers, process engineers, and enterprise architects.
