MDE is becoming increasing popular as an approach for formalizing complex systems information required by customers, system engineers, and software groups to improve lifecycle analysis, development, and verification and validation (V&V). SSCI is offering a webinar series to help members evaluate MDE practices and tools and adopt an MDE approach that aligns with their engineering and business needs. There are five webinars in the series. They are:

Model Driven Engineering (MDE) - System-Level Modeling of Customer-Needed Capabilities
Model Driven Engineering (MDE) - Leveraging System-Level Models
Model Driven Engineering (MDE) - Modeling Tool Survey
Model Driven Engineering (MDE) - Tool Chains for Simulink
Model Driven Engineering (MDE) – Model Adoption Practices

System Modeling Language (SysML) is emerging as an industry best practice for developing operational and system architectural views. This webinar, Model Driven Engineering (MDE) - Leveraging System-Level Models, the second in the series, describes how to develop SysML architectural views and how to leverage modeling information for the purpose of planning and performing verification and validation (V&V). It also introduces the need for developing methods and practices to address ways to represent system engineering information such as tradeoff and hazard analysis not formalized by the modeling standards and tools.

Who should attend: This webinar is intended for Directors and Managers, Capture Manager & Team, Program and Project Leads, System and Software Engineers: architects, developers, integration and test, process developers and customers

Learning Objectives: Upon completion of this webinar, attendees will be able to:

Understand scenarios for using SysML and how to map SysML allocated requirements onto software and hardware subsystems
Describe how modeling artifacts developed early can support planning, estimation, and performing V&V
Understand some limitations of SysML and alternatives for modeling “ilities” and tradeoff analysis that must be addressed with project-specific guidelines

Highlights: SSCI webinars are delivered via WebEx over the Internet and an audio conference call. Instructions for accessing the WebEx session and audio conference call will be mailed to all registrants approximately two days prior to the scheduled webinar.

Important: Several of the sessions in this series build on the previous one; therefore, participation in all five sessions is recommended. Please note, each session will be recorded and posted to our webinar archive page within two business days. If you miss one of the sessions, you will have an opportunity to view that session prior to the next one.

Format: 1 Hour eLearning

Prerequisites: Recommended attendance or review of material presented in webinar session 1: Model Driven Engineering (MDE): System-Level Modeling of Customer-Needed Capabilities

Course Information

Unless otherwise noted in a course description, the training courses above are open for attendance by member company staff. Member company staff must be logged into their For Members Only (FMO) account to register for courses. If you do not have an FMO account, you can request one by completing the Account Registration form.

Courses listed on our Training and Events Calendar are available to SSCI members at no additional cost. Non-members may be eligible to attend some of our training courses; a registration fee may apply. Non-members should call (800) 827-4772 or contact our training coordinator at ask-ssci@systemsandsoftware.org to request registration.

Professional Development Units (PDU): SSCI is a Registered Education Provider with the Project Management Institute (PMI) and provides Professional Development Units (PDUs) for several of our courses and workshops. Individuals interested in PDUs for registered courses should visit the PMI website ( www.pmi.org ) for a complete listing.

For courses not registered with PMI, students have the option to self-assess the relationship of course materials against the PMBOK. Self-assessments require students to determine the number of appropriate PDU’s based on the total course contact hours that align with PMBOK topics. Students may then claim PDUs through PMI’s website. Please note that students are responsible to maintain documentation of self-assessments in the event of a future inquiry/audit from PMI.
