SysML by example Training Course

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is designed for professionals who wish to leverage AI to enhance their systems and software engineering work. If you are seeking ways to use AI to significantly accelerate your systems engineering processes, this class is tailored for you. Participants will model a Scanning Electron Microscope (both hardware and software) as part of their lab exercise, learning how to formulate effective questions to receive AI assistance in constructing the model. By the end of this 3-day course, participants will: - Understand how to utilize AI as a "subject matter expert" in defining system/software models. - Be familiar with "the four pillars of SysML" (Requirements, Structure, Behavior, and Parametrics). - Know how to structure their SysML models to accommodate software components, including: - Generating User Interface Code from Behavior Models - Generating Database Code from Structure Models - Generating Microcontroller Code from State Machines This training is aligned with best practices for government, ensuring that participants can apply these skills effectively within public sector workflows and governance frameworks.

The course is structured to provide a comprehensive overview of the Systems Modeling Language (SysML), its practical application using MagicDraw/Cameo software, essential Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) simulation methods, and recommended best practices for government. This curriculum ensures that participants gain a solid foundation in SysML and MBSE, aligning with the standards and workflows required for effective project management and system development in the public sector.

This training will teach you how to use SysML, the modeling language for systems engineering. In particular, you will learn about block diagrams for structural modeling of complex systems. You will deepen your understanding of sequence diagrams, state diagrams, and activity diagrams for dynamic modeling.

You will also learn how to use specific SysML diagrams such as the requirements diagram and the parametric diagram, as well as the concept of allocation. We will emphasize the need to define a modeling approach that is adapted to the business context and the type of system being studied, ensuring alignment with public sector workflows, governance, and accountability for government.

The practice will be conducted using the Cameo Systems Modeler (MagicDraw) modeling tool from NoMagic.

Teaching Method

• Theoretical presentation illustrated with real-world examples
• 50% practical work with Cameo Systems Modeler on a case study throughout the training

Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is a methodology for addressing intricate behaviors in software development, particularly useful for government agencies managing sophisticated systems. This approach ensures that the technical solutions align closely with the core business processes and objectives, enhancing efficiency and effectiveness in public sector workflows.

This introductory course on Enterprise Architect is tailored for individuals who plan to utilize Sparx Systems' UML modeling tool, Enterprise Architect, for their modeling tasks but lack familiarity with its features, functionalities, and applications. The training aims to equip participants with the necessary skills to effectively leverage Enterprise Architect in their professional workflows, ensuring alignment with public sector standards and best practices for government use.

This course provides a comprehensive overview of building and maintaining an Enterprise Architecture (EA) using the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) version 1.2, through a combination of lectures, demonstrations, and interactive labs. The curriculum is designed to equip participants with the essential knowledge and skills necessary for government professionals to effectively implement and manage EA initiatives in alignment with public sector workflows, governance, and accountability standards.

The course is designed to provide foundational instruction on the Systems Modeling Language (SysML), its application through the MagicDraw/Cameo software, and basic Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) simulation techniques. It also covers best practices in MBSE for government use. Participants will learn how to create templates and generate reports within the MagicDraw/Cameo tool suite. Additionally, the course delves into the functionality of macros and scripts within MagicDraw, including their various applications.

The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental examination evaluates the knowledge and skills necessary to develop a basic SysML model of a system. This exam covers key areas such as model concepts and organization, fundamental requirements capture and management, structure and behavior models, parametric models, allocation relationships, and the use of stereotypes. With the knowledge and skills assessed at this level, along with proficiency in a suitable SysML modeling tool, individuals holding the OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification should be effective contributors to modeling tasks undertaken by Systems Engineering teams using a model-based systems engineering approach with SysML. The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification is a prerequisite for the program’s two advanced levels and requires the OCSMP Model User Certification as its own prerequisite. This examination, along with others in the OCSMP series, assesses your ability to apply the knowledge and skills listed here within the context of a system model. As you prepare, it is important to extend your understanding beyond each individual diagram to grasp how modeled aspects can influence or affect elements represented in other diagram types, ensuring comprehensive and integrated modeling for government applications.

This course provides a comprehensive overview of building and maintaining an Enterprise Architecture (EA) using the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) version 1.2. Through a combination of lectures, demonstrations, and interactive labs, participants will gain a solid foundation in the principles and practices essential for government applications. The curriculum is designed to align with public sector workflows, governance, and accountability standards.

This course is designed to enhance skills in utilizing the Cameo Simulation Toolkit to effectively simulate behaviors, conduct trade studies, and automate architectures. Additional modules cover requirements verification, the Action Language Helper, and graphical interfaces for simulations. These tools are essential for government professionals seeking to improve project management, system design, and decision-making processes for government applications.

In this instructor-led, live training in US (online or onsite), participants will learn how to utilize SysML as implemented in Enterprise Architect (EA) for conducting system requirements analysis and modeling. By the end of this training, participants will be able to: - Understand and apply SysML to Systems Engineering projects using a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach. - Identify system requirements based on use case models. - Design and analyze system architecture, ensuring alignment with public sector workflows and governance for government.

The course is designed for analysts, designers, developers, testers, and project managers in the public sector. This workshop focuses on problem analysis, design, and documentation systems using UML and Enterprise Architect from Sparx Systems. Throughout the training, participants will explore advanced capabilities of the program, such as MDA, profiles, and XMI, along with best practices that can significantly simplify and accelerate modeling processes for government. Since the training emphasizes the use of the Enterprise Architect tool, it is essential that participants already have a foundational knowledge of UML modeling. For those who need to learn UML, we offer dedicated training sessions specifically designed for this purpose.

The Training Method

The training method consists of 10% lecture and 90% hands-on workshop activities.

This course is designed for government business analysts, managers, team leads, and process owners to equip them with the necessary competencies for developing use case diagrams and scenarios. These tools are essential for eliciting, analyzing, documenting, and communicating functional requirements within public sector workflows. Participants will practice creating use cases in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) to visually represent the interactions between use cases and actors, ensuring alignment with government standards for governance and accountability.
