BAE Systems chooses Artisan Studio as its preferred tool for OMG SysML modeling
BAE Systems Integrated System Technologies (Insyte) has chosen Artisan Studio as its preferred tool
Jan 01, 2008 - 11:00 AM
“Artisan Studio® will provide Insyte’s systems engineers with a robust tool suite for modelling systems based on the OMG SysML standard,” said Rob Wythe, BAE Systems Integrated System Technologies (Insyte) Head of Systems Engineering. “SysML’s extensive re-use of UML will facilitate easier flow down from systems to software engineering.”
To prove the capabilities and benefits of Artisan Studio and the potential application of OMG SysML within BAE Systems, a pilot project was undertaken in which Artisan Studio was used to capture the design of an existing system. Following the success of this pilot, BAE Systems is now actively considering a variety of systems design and software development projects for the deployment of Artisan Studio which is being made available to BAE Systems’ systems design engineers on the company’s network as part of its overall design environment.
“The adoption of OMG SysML and Artisan Studio will benefit our systems engineering community in a variety of ways,” continued Rob Wythe. “OMG SysML will give us a common, internationally recognized and robust methodology for designing, assessing and specifying the systems that will also promote cross project skills, simplify the project review requirements and ease the customer approval process. Artisan Studio will provide us with the necessary combined systems and software engineering tool suite to achieve this as well as a company-wide resource for all projects that negates the need for on-demand procurement of specialist toolsets for individual projects.”
Artisan Studio provides complete support for the OMG SysML standard. Artisan Studio incorporates a comprehensive SysML Profile that makes use of Studio’s powerful Domain Specific Profiling capability. The SysML Profile supports the four pillars of OMG SysML – system requirements, behavior, structure and parametric relationships. The Artisan Studio SysML Profile directly supports core OMG SysML elements including blocks, item flows, ports and port flows, adding appropriate new commands, explorer panes and toolbars to the menus.
Artisan Studio will enable BAE Systems to diagrammatically specify the nature of the systems it designs in terms of the system itself, its subsystems, parts and interfaces as well as its major states, its modes and the transitions between them. Furthermore, it will enable BAE Systems to define the activities the system performs and how the system is used. It will set out the requirements on the system, how they are satisfied and finally, sets of parameters and constraints and the relationships between them.
“In providing support for the OMG SysML standard, Artisan Studio enables teams of developers working in a multi-user environment to visualise, design and validate complex, mission critical systems before building them, and simplifies implementation with code generation and software reuse,” said Jeremy Goulding, President and CEO of Artisan Software Tools. “Artisan Studio is highly scaleable and improves productivity and quality when used on both small and large technical projects. Its underlying metamodel and repository technology provide a stable, robust working environment ensuring fast availability of model information, while securing all valuable data. Teams using Artisan Studio’s powerful extensions can model architectural frameworks, systems and software as well as document legacy systems for the complete project lifecycle from start to finish.”
