Practical Guide to SysML 
The Systems Modeling Language

A Practical Guide to Sys ML: The Systems Modeling Language is a comprehensive guide to Sys ML for systems and software engineers. It provides an advanced and practical resource for modeling systems with Sys ML. The source describes the modeling language and offers information about employing Sys ML in transitioning an organization or project to model-based systems engineering. The book also presents various examples to help readers understand the OMG Systems Modeling Professional (OCSMP) Certification Program. The text is organized into four parts. The first part provides an overview of systems engineering. It explains the model-based approach by comparing it with the document-based approach and providing the modeling principles. The overview of SYs ML is also discussed. The second part of the book covers a comprehensive description of the language. It discusses the main concepts of model organization, parametrics, blocks, use cases, interactions, requirements, allocations, and profiles. The third part presents examples that illustrate how Sys ML supports different model-based procedures. The last part discusses how to transition and deploy Sys ML into an organization or project. It explains the integration of Sys ML into a systems development environment. Furthermore, it describes the category of data that are exchanged between a Sys ML tool and other types of tools, and the types of exchange mechanisms that can be used. It also covers the criteria that must be considered when selecting a Sys ML. Software and systems engineers, programmers, IT practitioners, experts, and non-experts will find this book useful.*The authoritative guide for understanding and applying Sys ML*Authored by the foremost experts on the language*Language description, examples, and quick reference guide included
