Author Description

<p><b>Presents modeling approaches that can be performed in SysML and other modeling languages</b></p> <p>This book combines the emerging discipline of systems architecting with model-based approaches using SysML. The early chapters of the book provide the fundamentals of systems architecting; discussing what systems architecting entails and how it benefits systems engineering. Model-based systems engineering is then defined, and its capabilities to develop complex systems on time and in a feasible quality are discussed. The remainder of the book covers important topics such as: architecture descriptions; architecture patterns; perspectives, viewpoints, views and their relation to system architecture; the roles of a system architect, their team, and stakeholders; systems architecting processes; agile approaches to systems architecting; variant modeling techniques; architecture frameworks; and architecture assessment. The book's organization allows experts to read the chapters out of sequence. Novices can read the chapters sequentially to gain a systematic introduction to system architecting.</p> <p><i>Model-Based System Architecture</i>: </p> <ul> <li>Provides comprehensive coverage of the Functional Architecture for Systems (FAS) method created by the authors and based on common MBSE practices</li> <li>Covers architecture frameworks, including the System of Systems, Zachman Frameworks, TOGAF®, and more</li> <li>Includes a consistent example system, the “Virtual Museum Tour” system, that allows the authors to demonstrate the systems architecting concepts covered in the book</li> </ul> <p><i>Model-Based System Architecture</i> is a comprehensive reference for system architects and systems engineers in technology companies. This book will also serve as a reference to students and researchers interested in functional architectures. </p> <p><b>Tim Weilkiens</b> is the CEO at the German consultancy oose Innovative Informatik and co-author of the SysML specification.
