Foundations for Model-based Systems Engineering 
From patterns to models

The practice of Model-based Systems Engineering is becoming more widely adopted in industry, academia and commerce and, as the use of modelling matures in the real world, so the need for more guidance on how to model effectively and efficiently becomes more prominent. This book describes a number of systems-level ‘patterns’ (pre-defined, reusable sets of views) that may be applied using the systems modelling language Sys ML for the development of any number of different applications and as the foundations for a system model.
