INCOSE Evaluation of Systems Modeling Language

What is SysML?
• A graphical modeling language in response to the UML for Systems Engineering RFP developed by the OMG, INCOSE, and AP233 a UML Profile that represents a subset of UML 2 with extensions
• Supports the specification, analysis, design, verification and validation of systems that include hardware, software, data, personnel, procedures, and facilities
• Supports model and data interchange via XMI and the evolving AP233 standard (in-process)

UML for SE Prep:
• Structure
e.g., system hierarchy, interconnection
• Behavior
e.g., function-based behavior, state-based behavior
• Properties
e.g., parametric models, time property
• Requirements
e.g., requirements hierarchy, traceability
• Verification
e.g., test cases, verification results
• Other
e.g., roles, views, relationship types, diagram types
• Optional
e.g., trade studies, other behavior modeling paradigms
