Enterprise Architecture Framework is a structured tool for managing the complexity of systems of systems engineering in the organization using different abstraction levels. Abstraction levels allow the definition of strategy, operations (requirements), and alternative tactics (solutions) needed to implement operational scenarios. EAFs provide infrastructure to ensure complete and correct specification of systems (including human resources) […]
Systems Modeling Language (SysML) is used to capture systems design as descriptive and analytical system models, which relate text requirements to the design and provide a baseline to support analysis and verification.This session will demonstrate how model of the system, expressed with sufficient precision, can be used to support early requirements validation and design verification, […]
Curiosity is one of the most ambitious and successful NASA missions. It is on Mars now. But not everyone knows that the generated code has been part of Curiosity’s Rover flight software since launch, and continues to run on board today. Code generated from state chart diagram is used for: auto-maneuver (Cruise phase), Spacecraft Modes […]
This is a demonstration of the Syndeia (formerly known as SLIM for Systems LIfecycle Management) software for the Configurable UAV challenge presented at No Magic World Symposium 2015. Originally this video was demonstrated at the INCOSE International Workshop at Torrance CA (US) in Jan 2015. We did this demo live at the Model Management Track of the […]
At No Magic World Symposium 2015 (NMWS2015) I presented the story about adopting MBSE using SysML in the development of Joint Strike Missile (http://www.kongsberg.com/en/kds/products/missilesystems/jointstrikemissile) at Kongsberg Defence and Aerospace. The presentation contains a hands-on description on how to organize a System Architecture Model as well as lessons learned in this adoption process.
No Magic and the University of Huntsville in Alabama (UAH) joined together last Thursday to host a one day Model Based Systems Engineering session (MBSE Day) for the local Huntsville community. We are proud to say the event was a resounding success. Over 50 people representing both industry and government attended to learn more about […]
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Space Communications and Navigation office (SCaN) has commissioned a series of trade studies to define a new architecture intended to integrate the three existing networks that it operates, the Deep Space Network (DSN), Space Network (SN), and Near Earth Network (NEN), into one integrated network that offers users […]
We were delighted to be invited to speak at 31st Space Symposium tech track and present MBSE usage for highly complex projects. At sold out tech track we shared the stage with Allan Lockheed Jr. (CEO of Allan Lockheed & Associates), Dr. Gordon Roesler Program Manager at DARPA, Jeff Greason founder and CTO XCOR Aerospace, […]
A wind of changes blew two weeks ago in the OMG meeting in Reston deciding the future of Unified Profile for DoDAF and MODAF (UPDM). There were a lot of talks about OMG taking over DoDAF and renaming it to UAF; however that is not exactly the truth. DoDAF is here and OMG is not […]
In the traditional systems engineering, or so-called document-based systems engineering, work products are created separately and consistency between these products is maintained manually by the designer(s) of the system. One of the biggest model-based systems engineering ROI is the ability to automatically generate consistent work products out of a systems model. This session demonstrates various […]
Dr. Richard Soley, Chairman and CEO of the Object Management Group (OMG) and Executive Director of the Industrial Internet Consortium, will be the keynote speaker at this year’s No Magic World Symposium, scheduled for June 7-10, 2015. The event, held at the Courtyard by Marriott in Allen, Texas, provides insight into industry technologies as well […]
Lenny Delligatti, the author of SysML Distilled, presents this 26-minute on-demand webinar discussing MBSE ROI. He presents data collected from four aerospace and defense programs. These data provide evidence that there is a higher probability that MBSE will result in a better outcome than the traditional document-based approach. Two roots of MBSE ROI are presented: […]
This time we’d like to share a useful collection of questions and answers that provide you with the basic understanding of MBSE. The slideshow was presented in a Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Board meeting by Elyse Fosse. It explains the main MBSE related aspects from a practitioner perspective. Not only does it cover general questions, […]
During research and development (R&D), teams often discover similarities among system components within the same or previous projects that can be reused, with the potential of saving on cost and time. The overall development effort can be dramatically reduced by reusing the different artifacts. The ability to have a repository of reusable modelling artifacts and […]
For more than five years now, No Magic has been hosting the annual No Magic World Conference (NMWC) where UML, SysML experts, Business Analysts and Enterprise Architecture industry leaders deliver the information modeling professionals need. This time we want to share a record of David Buckler‘s (CACI) speech along with a slideshow presentation from 2014‘s […]
