Overview |
Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) formalizes the practice of systems engineering through the use of models. The Systems Modeling Language (SysML) v2 is the next-generation systems modeling language to support the evolving practice of MBSE and addresses the challenges of increasing system complexity and rapid technological changes. SysML v2 provides significant enhancements over SysML v1 in terms of language precision, expressiveness, regularity, interoperability, usability, and extensibility.
This tutorial provides students with an introduction to SysMl v2 language concepts using both graphical and textual notation. The instructor walks through a simple example of a system model expressed in SysML v2 to illustrate the concepts and how they are applied. The tutorial agenda is as follows: 08:30 – 09:30 SysML v2 Background and Overview |

Biography |
Dr. Sanford Friedenthal is an industry leader and independent consultant in model-based systems engineering (MBSE). He was formerly a Technical Fellow at Lockheed Martin, where he led the effort to enable Model-Based Systems Development (MBSD) and other advanced practices across the company. Dr. Friedenthal has been a leader of the industry standards effort through the Object Management Group (OMG) and INCOSE to develop the Systems Modeling Language (OMG SysML ®) that was adopted by the OMG in 2006, and more recently co-lead the effort to develop the next generation of SysML (v2). He is co-author of ‘A Practical Guide to SysML’ and ‘Architecting Spacecraft with SysML’. |
Description of Intended Audience and Recommended Prerequisites |
Target Audience: Systems engineers and other engineering practitioners who may use or consume systems models as part of a systems development effort.
Prerequisites: Systems engineering background in academia and/or as a practitioner. Some exposure to modeling with SysML v1 is desired but not required. |
What can Attendees Expect to Learn |
The course introduces some basic SysML v2 language concepts and how they are expressed using graphical and textual notation. The introduction is intended to expose the attendee to the power of the language for modeling systems and motivate them to explore the language in more depth and apply it on projects. |
