SysML 621 - Model Authoring Problems (MAP) and Intermediate Modeling Patterns

Course Description

SysML 621 is an intermediate course that builds on SysML 101/201. You will learn both modeling patterns (good things to do) as well as modeling anti-patterns (bad things to avoid) for each SysML concept area. The model authoring problem (MAP) approach guides you how to apply pattern-thinking via an introductory open-ended modeling experience. We provide “raw material” for a sample problem (documents, ad-hoc descriptions, etc.). Each MAP exercise outlines what your model needs to achieve. We provide guidelines – not detailed element/diagram creation steps. After working on the MAP exercises in class, you and your classmates have an opportunity to share your results. We walk through several possible solutions and discuss common approaches, both good and bad. You finalize and submit three MAP exercises for instructor review and feedback. By completing SysML 621 you gain enhanced know-how regarding creating well-formed models.

Course Content

INTRODUCTION

  • Pattern approach for each SysML language area (and its corresponding elements and diagrams)
  • Sample problem intro (including ad-hoc description and raw material)
  • In-class approach: concept lectures, in-class MAP exercises, in-class discussions
  • Wrap-up approach: self-paced work to finish MAP exercises; wrap-up webcon

UPFRONT CONCEPTS (SYSTEM OBJECTIVES)*

  • Use cases (uc)
  • Requirements (req)

STRUCTURE CONCEPTS*

  • Packages and model organization (pkg)
  • Block and instance structures (bdd)
  • Block connectivity (ibd)
  • Block parametrics (par) and execution

BEHAVIOR CONCEPTS*

  • Interactions and message-based behavior (sd) and execution
  • Activities and function-based behavior (act) and execution
  • State machines and state-based behavior (stm) and execution

CROSS-CUTTING CONCEPTS*

  • Cross-cutting SysML relationships
  • Simulation tools and techniques for SysML model execution

*SysML 621 covers each topic above at the intermediate level with a focus on intra-element pattern concepts.
