Objective:

To assist Analysts and Designers within the System Engineering domain in understanding how to efficiently gather requirements and execute embedded software design implementation based on system specifications using UML 2 and SysML.

This three-day training is designed to help system analysts express needs effectively and enable designers to formulate appropriate architectural designs for government systems based on these requirements.

The resulting system architecture enhances the agility of embedded system software when facing changes, facilitating coherent traceability from business rules encapsulated in system functions and end-user usage choices (use cases) through to the software implementation level.

This instructional program is provided in two formats to deliver a comprehensive, practical understanding of how to model systems using the latest revision of the OMG Systems Modelling Language (SysML) specification.

As distributed systems increase in complexity, the focal point of architectural challenges shifts from individual applications to the collective architecture governing a suite of interconnected systems. This curriculum addresses the intersection of Software Architecture and Technical Enterprise Architecture, emphasizing the critical, yet often insufficiently documented, interdependence between these disciplines. For instance, decomposing a complex monolithic application into two distinct systems interacting via web services necessitates significant modifications to both the internal logic of the new components and the external architectural relationships connecting them.

This course will examine the strategic trade-offs involved in these decisions, reviewing prevailing patterns and solutions for managing complex system environments and the communication mechanisms operating within and across these frameworks, tailored for government operational standards.
