  • Agile Systems Engineering with SysML v2 and AI

    • 2nd Edition
    • Bruce Powel Douglass
    • English
    Agile Systems Engineering, Second Edition presents a vision of systems engineering where precise specification of requirements, structure, and behavior meet larger concerns as such as safety, security, reliability, and performance in an agile engineering context. World-renowned author and speaker Dr. Bruce Powel Douglass incorporates agile methods and model-based systems engineering (MBSE) to define the properties of entire systems while avoiding errors that can occur when using traditional textual specifications. Dr. Douglass covers the lifecycle of systems development, including requirements, analysis, design, and the handoff to specific engineering disciplines. In addition to agile SE, the workflows and practices of Model-Driven Dev Sec Ops (MDDSO) will be introduced and discussed. In the new Second Edition, all the examples and discussion use SysML v2 and are rendered in the Cameo System Modeler tool. Throughout the book, Dr. Douglass couples agile methods with SysML and MBSE to arm system engineers with the conceptual and methodological tools they need to avoid specification defects and improve system quality while simultaneously reducing the effort and cost of systems engineering.

  • Topological UML Modeling

    An Improved Approach for Domain Modeling and Software Development
    • 1st Edition
    • Janis Osis + 1 more
    • English
    Topological UML Modeling: An Improved Approach for Domain Modeling and Software Development presents a specification for Topological UML® that combines the formalism of the Topological Functioning Model (TFM) mathematical topology with a specified software analysis and design method. The analysis of problem domain and design of desired solutions within software development processes has a major impact on the achieved result – developed software. While there are many tools and different techniques to create detailed specifications of the solution, the proper analysis of problem domain functioning is ignored or covered insufficiently. The design of object-oriented software has been led for many years by the Unified Modeling Language (UML®), an approved industry standard modeling notation for visualizing, specifying, constructing, and documenting the artifacts of a software-intensive system, and this comprehensive book shines new light on the many advances in the field.
