Objective:

Supporting analysts and designers in the system engineering domain to understand how to efficiently gather requirements and then proceed through embedded software design and implementation based on system specifications, using UML 2 and SysML.

This three-day training aims to assist system analysts in expressing their needs effectively and enabling designers to develop appropriate architectural designs for the system based on those needs.

The resulting system architecture provides a high level of agility to embedded system software when facing changes, as it ensures coherent traceability from business rules encapsulated in system functions and end-user usage scenarios (use cases) down to the software implementation level.

This course is offered in two variants to provide a practical understanding of how systems can be modelled using the latest version of the OMG Systems Modelling Language (SysML) specification. The notation and underlying semantics of SysML are explained in a way that enables learners to apply their knowledge to any suitable system modelling method or tool.

In this instructor-led, live training in Christchurch (online or at your premises), participants will learn how to use SysML as implemented in Enterprise Architect (EA) to carry out system requirements analysis and modelling.

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 analyse system architecture.

With the emergence of highly complex distributed systems, the complexity once confined to a single system has shifted to the architecture of the entire group of systems. This course explores the relationship between Software Architecture and Technical Enterprise Architecture. These two domains are interrelated in ways that are not yet clearly articulated. For instance, breaking down a complex monolithic system into two systems that communicate via web services will trigger significant changes to both the new systems and the architecture that connects them.

This course will examine the trade-offs, commonly used patterns, and established solutions for managing complex systems and their communication, both within and across system boundaries.

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

The workshop covers problem analysis, system design and documentation using UML and Enterprise Architect by Sparx Systems. During the training, participants will explore advanced capabilities of the tool (such as MDA, profiles, XMI) and learn best practices that can significantly simplify and accelerate the modelling process.

As the training focuses on the Enterprise Architect tool, participants are expected to already have a working knowledge of UML modelling. For those who wish to learn UML from the ground up, we offer dedicated UML modelling training.
