INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL ON SYSTEMS ENGINEERING 

                                                                     A better world through a systems approach.

The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) is a not-for-profit membership organization founded to develop and disseminate the transdisciplinary principles and practices that enable the realization of successful systems. INCOSE is designed to connect systems engineering professionals with educational, networking, and career-advancement opportunities in the interest of developing the global community of systems engineers and systems approaches to problems. We are also focused on producing state-of-the-art work products that support and enhance this discipline’s visibility in the world.

SysML Begins Adoption Process through the OMG

May 1, 2006, 00:00 AM by INCOSE UMS
On April 26 at the Object Management Group (OMG) Technical meeting in St Louis, the Systems Modeling Language (SysML) Specification v 1 was unanimously accepted to begin the adoption process. This represents a critical milestone towards implementation and use of the standard by tool vendors and users respectively. The OMG SysML Specification will now enter the finalization process through the OMG that will lead to a formally available specification. The specification and supporting documentation can be found on the OMG SysML site. A one-day SysML tutorial will be offered at the INCOSE Symposium in July along with SysML tool vendor demonstrations on the exhibitor floor.
 
SysML is a general-purpose graphical modeling language for specifying, analyzing, designing, and verifying complex systems that may include hardware, software, information, personnel, procedures, and facilities. In particular, the language provides graphical representations with a semantic foundation for modeling system requirements, behavior, structure, and integration with a broad range of engineering analysis. SysML represents a subset of UML 2.0 with extensions needed to satisfy the requirements of the UML for Systems Engineering RFP.  SysML also uses OMG XML Metadata Interchange (XMI) for interoperable model exchange between SysML tools and those tools supporting ISO 10303-233."
 
The UML for Systems Engineering RFP was developed jointly by the OMG and INCOSE and issued by the OMG in March 2003. The SysML specification was developed in response to these requirements by a diverse group of tool vendors, end users, academia, and government representatives. The SysML team members can be found on the cover page of the SysML Specification.
