Workshop: Functional modelling experience
10:30 – 12:00
Abstract
When developing a system, a functional model is increasingly used in addition to the system model to separate the behavior of a system from its physical properties. Customer requirements can also be incorporated into this functional and system model. With the help of the case, the participants will discover functions and experience how requirements are processed in a system and functional model. By conveniently creating relationships between requirements, functions and systems, a traceable design is created. In this way, the transition to a real model-based design is not so big anymore.
The way of making a design is also changing. Where in the ‘past’ people often designed according to the waterfall model, agile-like working methods are now more commonly used. In the workshop we will develop a new case using an incremental approach.
If you would like to experience how a traceable functional and system design can be made by means of an agile, and in practice proven system engineering approach, you are very welcome at our workshop.
Bio Han Kolkman
Han Kolkman (1963) studied Applied Physics at the University of Twente and started his career at AT&T & Philips Telecommunications (now Alcatel) as a SW engineer on GSM/5ESS Mobile Switching development. From 2002 he continued his career at Atos Origin Technical Automation and Nspyre, which later evolved from it. As a SW engineer / architect he has since worked on various mostly simulation related projects within the domains Aerospace and Railinfra.
In order to be able to work in a broader and more multidisciplinary way, he made the switch to Systems Engineering roles from 2013 and has been involved in the development of technical installations for large tunnel projects. Model Based Systems Engineering methods based on SysML are already widely used in this domain. He is particularly interested in taking Function Based System Engineering in combination with MBSE towards fully Model Driven Engineering environments.
He currently works at CapGemini, which includes Nspyre through a number of acquisitions.
Bio Marcel van der Velden
Marcel van der Velden (1973) studied Electrical Engineering and Telematics at the Hogeschool van Utrecht and started his career at Vialis. In 1999 he switched to Origin Technical Automation and after several acquisitions he now works at Capgemini Engineering.
Marcel started as a software programmer and later became a designer. He used, among other things, UML as a modeling technique. The assignments he carried out cover various branches; Aerospace, Railinfra, Semiconductors and Traffic.
Marcel has been working for 9 years as a Systems Engineer on various tunnel projects, both new construction and renovation. He uses model-based techniques (especially SysML) to fulfill the requirements and preconditions. In addition to the system elaborations, he has gained a lot of experience with functional modeling during the last 2 projects.
