This training will explain how to use SysML, the modelling language for systems engineering. You will particularly explore block diagrams for modelling the structure of complex systems. You will delve into sequence diagrams, state machine diagrams, and activity diagrams for dynamic modelling. You will also learn to use specific SysML diagrams such as requirements diagrams and parametric diagrams, as well as the concept of allocation. We will also emphasise the need to define a modelling approach suitable for the company's context and the type of system under study. Practical exercises will be carried out using NoMagic's modelling tool, Cameo Systems Modeler (MagicDraw).

Audience:

Systems engineers, business analysts, and architects who need to model complex systems involving both hardware and software.

Pedagogical method:

Theoretical presentation illustrated with examples
50% hands-on exercises with Cameo Systems Modeler using a case study throughout the training

Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is a methodology for managing complex software behaviours during development.

This course provides an introduction to Enterprise Architect, designed for individuals who intend to utilize Sparx Systems’ UML modelling tool but are new to its features, functions, and practical application.

Combining lectures, demonstrations, and interactive labs, this course illustrates the foundational methods for establishing and maintaining an Enterprise Architecture (EA) through the use of the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) version 1.2.

Course Objectives

Aim to gain a clear understanding of the fundamentals of embedded GNU/Linux, including how its various components interconnect. Identify the essential elements required to construct an embedded GNU/Linux system, where to source them, and the methods for configuring, building, and installing these components. Additionally, learn where to find support and how to navigate software licensing considerations. Through practical, hands-on exercises, this course equips you with the necessary experience to successfully develop your own embedded GNU/Linux systems upon completion.

Description

This five-day training program combines instructional teaching with practical exercises to demonstrate key concepts in embedded GNU/Linux. It is designed to rapidly accelerate your proficiency. The course covers the underlying philosophy, core concepts, and essential commands required to utilise GNU/Linux effectively, delivered through a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application.

Instead of starting from scratch, benefit from the expertise of a seasoned instructor. You will leave with a functional understanding of GNU/Linux and the skills to apply it effectively within your own embedded development projects.

Who should attend?

This course is suitable for managers, project managers, software, hardware, development, and systems engineers, testers, administrators, technicians, and other professionals interested in the technology who wish to quickly understand how Embedded GNU/Linux operates. It is ideal for those who currently use GNU/Linux, or who need the freedom to evaluate whether it is a viable option for their needs. It is also appropriate for individuals who have attempted to use Embedded GNU/Linux but are uncertain about their approach, as well as those currently using a different operating system who wish to determine if GNU/Linux offers a more efficient or cost-effective solution.

Delivery Options

While all training materials are provided in English, the presentations can be conducted in either English or German, available worldwide.

• In-person - instructor-led
• Online - instructor-led
• Hybrid (in-person/online) - instructor-led

In this instructor-led, live training in Cascais, participants will learn how to evaluate different technologies and approaches for the design of a services-based system architecture. The training begins with a discussion and comparison of monolithic systems and service architectures, then digs into the details of microservice architecture.

Participants are given a chance to put their knowledge into practice as they step through the creation and deployment of a set of proof-of-concept microservices built with Spring Cloud, Spring Boot and Docker.
Finally, the relevant infrastructure building blocks are examined to help participants determine the most suitable tools and approaches to use for different organizational requirements.
By the end of this training, participants will have a solid understanding of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Microservice Architecture as well practical experience using Spring Cloud and related Spring technologies for rapidly developing their own cloud-scale, cloud-ready microservices.

The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental examination evaluates the knowledge and skills necessary to create a basic SysML model of a system. The exam covers model concepts and organization, basic requirements capture and management, structure and behavior models, parametric models, allocation relationships, and the use of stereotypes. With the knowledge and skills covered at this level, plus familiarity with a suitable SysML modeling tool, a holder of the OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification should be a productive contributor to modeling tasks performed by a Systems Engineering team employing a model-based systems engineering approach using SysML. The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification is a prerequisite for the program’s two higher levels, and requires the OCSMP Model User Certification as its prerequisite.

This examination (as well as the others in the OCSMP series) tests your ability to apply the knowledge and skills listed here in the context of a model of a system. As you study, go beyond each individual diagram to understand how aspects that it models can influence or affect aspects of the system represented in other diagram types.

In this instructor-led live training Cascais (online or onsite), participants will learn how to use SysML as implemented in Enterprise Architect (EA) to carry out system requirements analysis and modeling.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand and apply SysML to Systems Engineering projects, using a Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach.
• Identify system requirements based on use case models.
• Design and analyze system architecture.

This hands-on training demonstrates how to effectively utilise the SysML modelling language. Participants will explore block diagrams for structurally modelling complex systems, while deepening their understanding of sequence diagrams, state diagrams, and activity diagrams for dynamic modelling. Additionally, the course covers specific SysML diagrams, such as the requirements diagram and parametric diagram, alongside the crucial concept of allocation. Attention is also given to defining a modelling approach tailored to the organisation’s context and the system under study. Finally, the current state of SysML modelling tools will be reviewed.

Audience:

Project managers, architects, and system engineers responsible for modelling complex systems that encompass both software and hardware components.

Teaching Method:

• Theoretical presentation accompanied by examples
• Case study conducted on paper, featuring a SysML tool demonstration by the trainer

Developing complex enterprise applications presents significant challenges in a rapidly evolving environment.

Modifications to the integration between services or systems necessitate corresponding changes in system design. This course provides guidance on designing maintainable service and system architectures that align with the size and purpose of your organization, along with practical infrastructure strategies.

The course addresses common issues encountered when building distributed application landscapes, ranging from integration challenges, infrastructure concerns, and modern approaches to resolving complexity.

It examines the advantages and disadvantages of various solutions (e.g., traditional SOA versus Microservices architecture) and highlights available tools (primarily open-source) that support development and maintenance.

Course Format

The course is primarily discussion-based, with limited presentations.

This course is tailored for analysts, designers, developers, testers, and project managers.

The workshop covers problem analysis, design, and system documentation using UML and Sparx Systems' Enterprise Architect. The training highlights the program's advanced capabilities (such as MDA, profiles, and XMI) alongside best practices that can significantly streamline and accelerate the modeling process.

As the training concentrates on the Enterprise Architect tool, participants are expected to already possess UML modeling skills. For those wishing to learn modeling fundamentals, we offer dedicated UML training courses.
