Systems Engineering Conceptual Model
Overview:
Development of the Systems Engineering (SE) Conceptual Model is
a joint effort between the INCOSE, the ISO AP-233 project, and the SE DSIG.
The SE Conceptual Model captures the essential concepts of systems engineering
(e.g. function, system, requirement). in the form of a information model
which is expressed as a UML class diagram. The SE DSIG uses this model as
an input to the requirements for UML for Systems Engineering. The AP-233 project
uses this model as a high level design from which it derives the detailed
requirements for the data interchange standard which supports tool
interoperability.
Early versions of the model were developed by the
AP-233 project and the predecessor SEDRES project, as indicated in the Model
History chart below. Julian Johnson first presented a version of this model to
the SE DSIG at the Anaheim OMG Technical Meeting in January, 2002. At that
meeting, it was agreed that Dave Oliver would lead a team to further evolve the
model. The concept model includes the UML class diagram, a semantic dictionary
which defines each of the model entities, and an issue log, which is intended to
provide a systematic means to capture and disposition
issues raised against the model.
