Systems Modeling Training in Georgia

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 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 Georgia (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.

This practical training will demonstrate how to efficiently use the SysML modeling language for government. You will explore block diagrams for structural modeling of complex systems. The course will delve into sequence diagrams, state diagrams, and activity diagrams for dynamic modeling. Additionally, you will learn to utilize specific SysML diagrams such as requirements diagrams and parametric diagrams, along with the crucial concept of allocation. We will also emphasize the importance of defining a modeling approach tailored to the context of the organization and the type of system being studied. Finally, we will review the current state of the art in SysML modeling tools for government.

Audience:

Project managers, architects, and system engineers who need to model complex systems that encompass both software and hardware components for government.

Teaching Method:

• Theoretical presentation with examples
• Case study on paper (demonstration of a SysML tool by the trainer)

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.
