Essential MBSE + SysML Applied™: Tool-Independent edition

COURSE ID: WS-MBSE-E-TI
DESCRIPTION: This introductory MBSE + SysML workshop provides students with a solid foundation for applying Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) principles and best practices with the Systems Modeling Language (SysML). SysML is the de facto industry-standard architecture modeling language for MBSE applications. The workshop teaches students how to solve practical problems using all SysML diagram types and Allocation Tables.

This MBSE + SysML workshop edition is tool-independent, and teaches the SysML modeling language using whiteboards for hands-on practice sessions, without using any tool-specific techniques. Students who seek integrated modeling tool training may also choose versions of this workshop that are customized for popular SysML modeling tools (MagicDraw/Cameo, Sparx EA, Rhapsody; others available upon request).

• How to trace Requirements and perform Verification & Validation (V&V) on a SysML model
• Practical guidelines for specifying correct, complete, clear, concise, and consistent models
• How you can customize SysML for specific domains, such as aerospace-defense, manufacturing, and communications
• How SysML work artifacts can be used with MBSE processes
• How to select SysML tools and methods
• OPTIONAL: How to draw SysML diagrams, simulate/execute SysML diagrams, and generate reports using a selected SysML tool [For a list of SysML workshops customized for popular SysML tools, check out the
Architecture Modeling Tool Training section.]
• How to plan your transition to a MBSE approach
• How to learn more about MBSE and SysML modeling

COURSE AUTHOR & CHIEF INSTRUCTOR: Cris Kobryn is the Founder of PivotPoint Technology and is an internationally-recognized expert in system architecture modeling languages (SysML, UML, BPMN, ArchiMate), enterprise architecture frameworks (DoDAF, UPDM, TOGAF), and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools. Cris led the original SysML (Systems Modeling Language) open source project, for which he received the INCOSE Outstanding Service Award in 2006. Cris has been architecting and designing distributed computer systems for three decades, and is known for successfully leading the UML 1.x, UML 2.0, and SysML international standardization teams. Recently, he designed the CyberML™ (Cyber Modeling Language™) to precisely specify Agile enterprise architectures that are scalable and cybersecure.
