    Dependency Graphs to Boost the Verification of SysML Models

    Model-Based Systems Engineering has often been associated with the Systems Modeling Language. Several SysML tools offer formal verification capabilities, and therefore enable early detection of design errors i...

    A Methodological Assistant for UML and SysML Use Case Diagrams

    Use case driven analysis is the corner stone of software and systems modeling in UML and SysML, respectively. A use case diagram identifies the main functions to be offered by the system and showcases the inte...

    Trade-off analysis for SysML models using decision points and CSPs

    The expected benefits of model-based systems engineering (MBSE) include assistance to the system designer in finding the set of optimal architectures and making trade-off analysis. Design objectives such as co...

    Architecture Optimization with SysML Modeling: A Case Study Using Variability

    Obtaining the set of trade-off architectures from a SysML model is an important objective for the system designer. To achieve this goal, we propose a methodology combining SysML with the variability concept an...

    Static Analysis Techniques to Verify Mutual Exclusion Situations within SysML Models

    AVATAR is a real-time extension of SysML supported by the TTool open-source toolkit. So far, formal verification of AVATAR models has relied on reachability techniques that face a state explosion problem. The ...
