ARTiSAN Software Tools, a global leader for UML 2.0 and SysML-based real-time systems and software modelling tools, has warmly welcomed the standardisation of SysML following its adoption by The Object Management Group earlier this month.
“ARTiSAN firmly believes that standards are fundamental to the sustainability and continuing evolution of the embedded systems design industry,” said Jeremy Goulding, President and CEO of ARTiSAN Software Tools. “We have been vigorous in propagating SysML as the standard for system engineers, so we are extremely enthusiastic about its adoption by the OMG. Having been extensively involved in the definition of the SysML architecture, we are ensuring that ARTiSAN Studio is fully compliant with the SysML standard and continues to provide leading-edge tool support for systems engineers wanting to use UML/SysML techniques for complex systems design. ARTiSAN Studio 6.1, which is about to start shipping, includes extensive support for SysML including requirements modelling.”

SysML is a general-purpose graphical modelling language for specifying, analysing, designing, and verifying complex systems that may include hardware, software, information, personnel, procedures, and facilities.

The OMG and the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) collaborated on the UML for Systems Engineering standardisation process to extend UML to support the needs of the systems engineering community. The resulting SysML specification represents a subset of UML 2.0 with extensions needed to satisfy the requirements of systems engineers. The language provides graphical representations with a semantic foundation for modelling system requirements, behaviour, and structure, and supports integration with a broad range of engineering analysis. In addition to leveraging the Model Driven Architecture and the Unified Modeling Language, the SysML standard uses the OMG’s XML Metadata Interchange (XMI) to exchange modelling data between tools, and is also intended to be compatible with the evolving ISO 10303-233 systems engineering data interchange standard.
