(Wiley Series in Systems Engineering and Management) 1st Edition
by Tim Weilkiens (Author), Jesko G. Lamm (Author), Stephan Roth (Author), Markus Walker (Author)
Presents modeling approaches that can be performed in SysML and other modeling languages
This
book combines the emerging discipline of systems architecting with
model-based approaches using SysML. The early chapters of the book
provide the fundamentals of systems architecting; discussing what
systems architecting entails and how it benefits systems engineering.
Model-based systems engineering is then defined, and its capabilities to
develop complex systems on time and in a feasible quality are
discussed. The remainder of the book covers important topics such as:
architecture descriptions; architecture patterns; perspectives,
viewpoints, views and their relation to system architecture; the roles
of a system architect, their team, and stakeholders; systems
architecting processes; agile approaches to systems architecting;
variant modeling techniques; architecture frameworks; and architecture
assessment. The book's organization allows experts to read the chapters
out of sequence. Novices can read the chapters sequentially to gain a
systematic introduction to system architecting.
Model-Based System Architecture:
- Provides
comprehensive coverage of the Functional Architecture for Systems (FAS)
method created by the authors and based on common MBSE practices
- Covers architecture frameworks, including the System of Systems, Zachman Frameworks, TOGAF®, and more
- Includes
a consistent example system, the “Virtual Museum Tour” system, that
allows the authors to demonstrate the systems architecting concepts
covered in the book
Model-Based System Architecture
is a comprehensive reference for system architects and systems
engineers in technology companies. This book will also serve as a
reference to students and researchers interested in functional
architectures.
