Introduction to System Modelling

  • Defining the system model
  • The four fundamental aspects of system modelling
  • Model-centric versus document-centric approaches
  • Overview of SysML
  • The connection between SysML and UML
  • The four pillars of SysML

Shared and Cross-Cutting Concepts

  • Profiles, stereotypes, and tags
  • Diagram boundaries
  • Annotations
  • Allocation concepts

Package Diagrams

  • Understanding packages
  • Organising the model through packages
  • Package containment relationships
  • Package dependencies
  • Visualising model structure
  • Views and viewpoints

Requirement Diagrams

  • Defining a requirement
  • Modelling basic requirements
  • Requirement traceability

Use Case Diagrams

  • The system as a black box
  • Defining system boundaries via actors
  • Use cases as system services
  • Insights behind the use case diagram
  • Use case structure: Nominal and alternative scenarios
  • Managing shared behaviour
  • Extending and specialising behaviour

Activity Diagrams

  • Modelling flow-based logic
  • Distinguishing actions from activities
  • Interpreting token flow
  • Control flow versus object flow
  • Representing decisions and concurrency
  • Swimlanes and responsibility allocation

Block Definition Diagrams

  • Defining blocks
  • Block features
  • Modelling types
  • Modelling system hierarchy
  • Generalising system elements

Internal Block Diagrams

  • Revisiting parts
  • Ports with flow properties
  • Standard ports and interfaces

  • Full ports

Parametric Diagrams

  • Understanding constraint blocks
  • Applying constraints to system properties

Sequence Diagrams

  • Interaction-based behaviour
  • Basic sequences
  • Synchronous versus asynchronous interactions
  • Fragment nodes
  • Interaction use nodes

State Machine Diagrams

  • States and their notation
  • Transitions between states
  • Pseudo-state notation (initial, decision, history, end)
  • Decomposing states
  • Modelling concurrent states

System Modelling Resources and Additional Reading

  • Suggested online resources
  • Recommended literature

Requirements

No prior experience in system modelling is necessary for this course. However, students are expected to possess a strong understanding of traditional “document-centric” systems engineering practices.
