Objective:

This course empowers System Engineering analysts and designers to efficiently capture requirements and execute embedded software design implementations based on system specifications, utilizing UML 2 and SysML.

Spanning three days, the training supports system analysts in articulating their needs effectively and assists designers in developing appropriate system architectures derived from those requirements.

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

This course is available in two versions to provide a practical understanding of how systems can be modelled using the latest version of OMG's Systems Modelling Language (SysML) specification. The notation and underlying semantics of SysML are explained in a way that allows students to apply what they learn to any suitable system modelling method or tool.

In this instructor-led, live training in Groningen (online or onsite), participants will learn how to use SysML as implemented in Enterprise Architect (EA) to carry out 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.

As distributed systems become increasingly complex, the focus has shifted from the intricacies of a single system to the architectural complexity of the entire ecosystem. This course explores the intricate relationship between Software Architecture and Technical Enterprise Architecture—two domains that are deeply interconnected yet often poorly defined. For instance, decomposing a complex monolithic application into two distinct systems communicating via web services necessitates significant changes in both the new components and the architecture linking them.

This course examines the trade-offs involved, as well as common patterns and solutions for managing complex systems and their internal and inter-system communications.

This course is tailored for analysts, designers, developers, testers, and project managers.

The workshop guides participants through problem analysis, design, and system documentation using UML and Sparx Systems' Enterprise Architect. The training highlights advanced program capabilities (such as MDA, profiles, and XMI) alongside best practices that significantly simplify and accelerate the modeling process.

Since the training centers on the Enterprise Architect tool, participants are expected to already possess UML modeling knowledge. Those wishing to learn modeling from scratch should enroll in our dedicated UML training.
