International
Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE)
The International Council on Systems Engineering is
a not-for-profit membership organization founded in
1990. INCOSE is an international authoritative body
promoting the application of an interdisciplinary
approach and means to enable the realization of
successful systems.
INCOSE UK Branch
Systems Modelling
Language (SysML)
SysML is a general-purpose modeling language for
systems engineering applications that is being
defined by the SysML Partners, an informal
partnership of companies and organizations. SysML
will support the specification, analysis, design,
verification and validation of large, complex
systems that include hardware and software
components. The SysML Partners plan to submit SysML
in response to the
Object Management Group's UML for Systems
Engineering Request for Proposal (RFP) issued in
March 2003. This RFP was drafted by the OMG
Systems Engineering
Domain Special Interest Group, which was jointly
charted by the OMG and
International
Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) in 2001.
UML Forum, a
virtual community and knowledge portal that provides
current information for modelers interested in the
Unified Modeling
Language™ (UML™) and software and systems
modeling.
Systems Engineering Standards
ISO AP233
is STEP (ISO 10303) based data exchange standard
supporting the needs of the systems engineering
community, consistent with emerging standards in
CAD, structural, electrical, engineering analysis
and support domains.
The STandard for the Exchange of Product
model data (STEP
- ISO 10303) provides a neutral
computer-interpretable representation of product
data throughout the life cycle of a product,
independent of any particular system. STEP is
actually a suite of international standards built
around an integrated architecture of domain specific
application protocols (AP) and generic integrated
resources. The AP’s break STEP into manageable and
comprehensible "chunks" that can be more readily
implemented.
1220-1998 IEEE Standard for Application and
Management of the Systems Engineering Process is
part of the family on Software Engineering. The
interdisciplinary tasks, which are required
throughout a system's life cycle to transform
customer needs, requirements, and constraints into a
system solution, are defined. In addition, the
requirements for the systems engineering process and
its application throughout the product life cycle
are specified. The focus of this standard is on
engineering activities necessary to guide product
development while ensuring that the product is
properly designed to make it affordable to produce,
own, operate, maintain, and eventually to dispose
of, without undue risk to health or the environment.
