“Convenient concurrency” (as described in an article by Grant Martin and Steve Leibson) eases the adoption and incorporation of multi-core processors in embedded systems designs. We discuss how RAMS also contributes to multi-core design success.
Paul shares a paper on the integration of SysML with Modelica that he recently became aware of.
We discuss the application of the RAMS methodology to Software Defined Radio design. Foresight has been used very successfully on a number of JTRS-related SDR projects, and we share some of the more notable results and how they were achieved.
The INCOSE MBSE Focus Group has authored a survey of Model Based Systems Engineering methodologies that is discussed here.
Paul tells a story about a Model Driven Systems Engineering experience from his questionable past. It involves sleepless nights in Las Vegas, loud music, and simulation.
Model Driven Systems Engineering has many valuable benefits to the entire Systems Engineering process that are needful for the next generation of systems being designed. Paul sets forth many of these benefits from his experience working with large scale systems design.
Paul kicks off an informal survey: “What title is used for individuals who participate in the requirements analysis process and synthesize a high level design for the system?” We need your input!
Is the OMG heading in the right direction with SysML? Is UML even the right foundation for a cross-domain modeling language? Maybe not.
A model for an iSLIP crossbar switch has been added to Foresight’s library of samples.
An article in the Washington Post quotes a GAO for weapons systems being over-budget is insufficient rigor in the acquisition process. Including simulatable models (virtual prototypes) as deliverables in the early stages of a program is proposed as a mitigator.
