Extending MBSE for decision patterns and traceability

• Decisions are the human thinking process that transforms a problem definition (requirements/goals) into a solution description (design)
• But design decisions are poorly captured into today’s system modeling languages and tools
• This failure has significant impact on the value delivered to stakeholders
• The fixes are fairly simple and well (but not widely) understood – a demonstration example exists that highlights language and tool gaps
• LML and Innoslate show a lot of promise as a decision capture platform
• But there are many details to work out to optimize the results
• Lessons learned from LML can easily be extended to SysML 2.0 and its supporting tools or other MBSE platforms
