SysML

[jrogado]

Hi,

The SysML Consortium (www.sysml.org) partners are collaborating to define a modeling language for systems engineering applications, called Systems Modeling Language™ (SysML™). SysML will customize UML 2 to support the specification, analysis, design, verification and validation of complex systems that may include
hardware, software, data, personnel, procedures, and facilities.
Are there any plans  to support SysML extensions to EA?

Thank's!

Jose, it sounds like SysML is an extension of standard UML 2.0.  There is a protocol built into UML for its own extension, via profiles.  This is, for example, how EA supports the EP Business Modeling extensions.  

So, in actuality, the support of extensions is already built into EA.  The question, I suppose, is who is going to develop the SysML profile.

Hi,

SysML is based on UML and extends the UML metamodel by adding new elements and redefining yet existing elements. So the SysML-metamodel "merges" the UML-metamodel.
Therefore, it's not possible to describe SysML via UML-Profiles and stereotypes, because with them, you can only extend yet existing UML-elements.

The nearly latest RFP you find at http://www.sysml.org/artifacts/spec/SysML-v0.3-PDF-040112.zip
