Foundations of the System Engineering (SE) and Architecture Frameworks (2 days)

Objectif : Providing attendees with an overview of the System Engineering Discipline and help them better understand its principles.

This two days course (cf. Notice) allows participants to acquire a common terminology of the System Engineering, familiarize themselves with the system vision, principles and state-of-the-art procedures according to ISO / IEC 15288 and ISO / IEC / IEEE 42010 standards as well as architectural frameworks of System Engineering such as ( DoDAF, MoDAF and NAF...) and how to align their viewpoints using the Enterprise Architecture Frameworks Methodologies such as the Open Group's TOGAF's ADM (Architecture Development Method).

 

Prerequisites : None

Participant Profiles :

Any actor involved in the System Engineering domain : System Architects, System Analysts, System Engineers,

Managers having the responsibility to let all SE actors adhere to a corporate approach.

 

 

Detailed Description :

 

Introduction

Objectives of this training/mentoring module,

Issues in the System Engineering and Model Typologies (AFIS, Incose),

The System Vision: definitions and characteristics,

Notions of the System Enginering : view and viewpoint of the standard ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010, principles, process and activities

Typology of Requirements : business requirements, functional and non functional requirements, user requirements, design and exploitation level requirements 

 

Project Management in the field of System Engineering

Processes and phases, integrated and simultaneous engineering,,

System development : generic process, engineering and integration, iteration et recursivity,

Organisation in the System Engineering Discipline: a collaborative management of the information, language and data

The Engineering Process and Modeling

Description of the dynamic and static context of the system: entities, flows exchanged, external constraints,

Modeling in system engineering: Semantic, functional, dynamic, temporal, organic modeling,

Panorama of representations in SysML,

Positioning the System Development Cycle in the various state-of-the-art approaches according to ISO / IEC 15288: Harmony, RUP-SE, State Analysis MBSE, Vitech MBSE Initiative,

Basic process for engineering: requirements gathering- definition of technical requirements - analysis, design of functional and organic / physical architectures,

Verification of the constituents of the system against technical requirements,

Validation against the allocated requirements and initial requirements for the complete system,

Evaluation and optimization of architectures

 

Architecture Frameworks for System Engineering 

UAF/UPDM (DoDAF, MoDAF) and NATO NAF

Aligning the Architecture with Changes

Tools for the System Engineering

Expected Functionnalities from the tools , 
Complementary tools for engineering, 
Presentation of a System Engineering tool,  

Conclusion 
 Phases of requirements gathering, analysis and design in the system engineering,   
 Ensuring traceability between requirements and components of the system,   
 Integration and Acceptance tests of the Requiements upon the system architecture 

 

Notice : In order to emphasize on the traceability needs between requirements and technical solutions presented during this course, the examples of the case study are illustrated using a modeling tool.

 

In case of an on-site session of this course, we can also apply concepts presented during the course to your own case study (and review solutions through an additional scheduled journey if necessary).
