Course Objectives

To provide a clear understanding of the essentials of embedded GNU/Linux, explaining how the various components fit together. You will learn what is required to build an embedded GNU/Linux system, where to source the necessary elements, and how to configure, build, and install them. The course also covers where to find support and addresses critical questions regarding software licensing. Through hands-on exercises, you will gain the practical experience needed to confidently develop your own embedded GNU/Linux systems upon successful completion of this training.

Description

This five-day training programme combines practical exercises with expert instruction to illustrate the core concepts of embedded GNU/Linux, designed to get you up to speed quickly. The philosophy, concepts, and commands essential for effective use of GNU/Linux are explained through a blend of theoretical knowledge and on-the-job training.

Instead of reinventing the wheel, learn from an experienced trainer and take away a working knowledge of GNU/Linux, along with the ability to apply it effectively in your own embedded development projects.

Who should attend?

This course is ideal for managers, project managers, software, hardware, development, and systems engineers, testers, administrators, technicians, and any other stakeholders interested in the technology who wish to understand how Embedded GNU/Linux works as quickly as possible. You should either already be using GNU/Linux or have the latitude to decide whether adopting it makes sense for your needs. Perhaps you have already attempted to use Embedded GNU/Linux but are unsure if you followed the correct approach. Alternatively, you may currently be using a different operating system and want to determine whether GNU/Linux could offer a better and/or more cost-effective solution.

In this instructor-led, live training in Auckland, participants will learn how to evaluate various technologies and approaches for designing a services-based system architecture. The course begins with a discussion and comparison of monolithic systems and service architectures, before delving into the intricacies of microservice architecture.

Participants will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge by stepping through the creation and deployment of a set of proof-of-concept microservices built using Spring Cloud, Spring Boot, and Docker.
Finally, key infrastructure building blocks will be examined to assist participants in selecting the most appropriate tools and approaches for their organisation's specific requirements.
By the end of this training, participants will possess a solid understanding of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Microservice Architecture, along with practical experience in using Spring Cloud and related Spring technologies to rapidly develop their own cloud-scale, cloud-ready microservices.

The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental examination evaluates the knowledge and skills necessary to construct a foundational SysML model of a system. The exam encompasses model concepts and organisation, basic requirements capture and management, structure and behaviour models, parametric models, allocation relationships, and the use of stereotypes. By leveraging the knowledge and skills covered at this level, along with familiarity with a suitable SysML modelling tool, a holder of the OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification should be a productive contributor to modelling tasks performed by a Systems Engineering team employing a model-based systems engineering approach using SysML. The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification is a prerequisite for the programme’s two higher levels, and requires the OCSMP Model User Certification as its prerequisite.

This examination (as well as the others in the OCSMP series) tests your ability to apply the knowledge and skills listed here in the context of a model of a system. As you study, go beyond each individual diagram to understand how aspects that it models can influence or affect aspects of the system represented in other diagram types.

In this instructor-led, live training in Auckland (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.

This hands-on training will show you how to use the SysML modelling language effectively. You will discover, in particular, how to use block diagrams for the structural modelling of complex systems. You will deepen your understanding of sequence diagrams, state diagrams and activity diagrams for dynamic modelling. You will also learn to use specific SysML diagrams, such as the requirements diagram and the parametric diagram, as well as the key concept of allocation. We will also focus on the need to define a modelling approach that is adapted to the company's context and the type of system under study. Finally, we will review the current state of the art in SysML modelling tools.

Audience:

Project managers, architects and systems engineers who need to model complex systems involving both software and hardware

Teaching Method:

• Theoretical presentation with examples
• Paper-based case study (trainer demonstration of a SysML tool)

Building complex enterprise applications is extremely challenging in an ever-evolving environment.

Changes in the integration between services or systems often trigger adjustments to the overall system design. This course explores how to design maintainable service and system architectures that are appropriately scaled and aligned with your organisation's goals, along with the practical infrastructure needed to support them.

The course addresses common challenges involved in building distributed application landscapes, ranging from integration issues and infrastructure considerations to modern approaches for managing complexity.

It outlines the advantages and disadvantages of various solutions (such as traditional SOA versus microservices architecture), discusses available tools (primarily open-source) that support development and maintenance, and more.

Course Format

The course is primarily discussion-based, with limited presentation segments.

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.
