Featured Presentation:
Advanced Tutorial on MBSE Using Topcased
Presented by: Dr. Peter Jackson

Topic: This presentation is an advanced tutorial on the use of the TOPCASED open source SysML tool for Model Based System Engineering (MBSE). This will be a follow on extension of the tutorial presented last year at this time by Dr. Jackson. If you did not attend the previous tutorial please feel free to participate in this session by installing the software ahead of time per the directions below.

Candidate Subtopics:
Demonstrate a new plug-in (created by Peter’s students) for generating documents easily.

Using libraries of formulas and units of measure.

Tutorial on Modelica.

Formalizing requirements modeling: what is standard information that should document a use case, for example.

Representing dynamic behavior using state machine diagrams combined with activity diagrams.

Demonstrate the process of writing plug-ins for eclipse and Topcased

Benefits of maintaining a link to requirements between an MBSE tool and DOORS.

Benefits of having the requirements in the MBSE tool.
