Workshop: Explaining SysML 2.0
12:45 – 14:15
Abstract
The major upgrade of SysML to version 2 is becoming real now. The SysML v2 Submission Team has been developing the specification since 2017, and last July OMG approved the beta specification. The official v2.0 release is expected in spring 2024. In the meantime, all major SysML tool vendors and a number of open-source projects are working on implementation.
In this workshop an overview of the new textual and graphical language will be given. Focus will be on the many improvements over SysML v1, and on what v2 will bring to end-users as well as to power users. The workshop will consist of two parts.
(1) An overview of the new language and the standardized API. It will touch on the following topics: generic constructs like attributes and expressions; use cases, requirements, constraints and satisfaction; structure (items, parts, ports, interfaces, variants); behaviour (actions, flows, states); allocation; standard model libraries (e.g. quantities and measurement references, basic geometry); analysis and verification cases; views and viewpoints; language extension; and last but not least the API and services. Finally, a word about the transition from v1 to v2 models.
(2) Live demonstration with example models using the open source pilot software implementation in the form of Jupyter Lab notebooks and a running API / repository server. This part will be as much as possible interactive – although time is too short for real training exercises. However, there will be ample room for questions and answers with the audience.
Note: If you would like yourself to try out the SysML v2 pilot software, clone or download the latest release from GitHub at https://github.com/Systems-Modeling/SysML-v2-Release and follow the instructions provided in the install/jupyter README file.
Bio Hans Peter de Koning
Hans Peter de Koning is an independent consultant on the digitalisation of engineering. He graduated with an M.Sc. in Applied Physics from Delft University of Technology in 1984, after which he worked almost 40 years as a thermal, software and systems engineer, mainly on space systems, in Fokker Space & Systems / Dutch Space, and from 1999 onwards at the European Space Agency (ESA/ESTEC). Up to retirement from ESA by the end of 2019, he led the development of MBSE methods, tools and standards for ESA’s Concurrent Design Facility and space projects in general. He has been a main author or contributor on many ISO, ECSS and OMG engineering standards. He has been a member of the INCOSE MBSE initiative since its inception in 2006. Currently, he is a core member of the SysML v2 Submission Team and Finalization Task Forces for OMG, with a special focus on its model libraries for quantities and basic geometry. He is also a subcontractor or consultant on various digital engineering and MBSE projects, for ESA and others.
Bio Rob de Jong
Rob de Jong studied technical Computer Science at the HTS Haarlem and started his career as a software engineer at Electrorail Traffic Systems in 1993. In 1999 he moved to CMG where he grew to become a software architect of mission-critical systems. In 2011, Rob started as a system engineer at Soltegro and then progressed to system architect. At Soltegro he is involved in the design of various infrastructure projects where Soltegro, using SysML, has introduced MBSE into the infrastructure market. In addition to many tunnel projects, Rob is also involved in the design of bridges and locks. The potential of SysML 2.0 has made Soltegro decide to actively invest in it. That is why Rob, together with a number of colleagues, is gaining experience with the beta specification.
