Requirements Engineering with DEVSME
Summary
This two and one half -day course is designed for
engineers, managers and educators who wish to enhance
their capabilities to capture needs and requirements in a
standardized, interoperable format that allows immediate
dynamic visualization of workflows and relationships. One of
the most serious issues of modern systems engineering is
capturing requirements in an unambiguous, interoperable
language that is structured in terms of input, output, timing
and coupling to other requirements. The DEVS Modeling
Environment (DEVSME) uses a restricted natural language
that is easy to use, but powerful enough to express complex
mathematical, logical and process functions in such a way
that other engineers and stakeholders will understand the
intent as well as the behavior of the requirement.
The course covers the basics of systems concepts and
discrete event systems specification (DEVS), a computational
basis for system theory. It demonstrates the application of
DEVS to "virtual build and test" requirements engineering in
complex information-intensive systems development. The
DEVSME Requirements Engineering Environment leverages
the power of the DEVS modeling and simulation methodology.
A particular focus is the application of model-based data
engineering in today’s data rich – and information challenged
– system environments.
Instructors
Bernard P. Zeigler is chief scientist for RTSync,
Zeigler has been chief architect for
simulation-based automated testing of
net-centric IT systems with DoD’s Joint
Interoperability Test Command as well
as for automated model composition for
the Department of Homeland Security.
He is internationally known for his
foundational text Theory of Modeling and Simulation,
second edition (Academic Press, 2000), He was
named Fellow of the IEEE in recognition of his
contributions to the theory of discrete event simulation.
Phillip Hammonds is a senior scientist for RTSync,
He co-authored (with Professor Zeigler). the 2007
book, “Modeling & Simulation-Based Data
Engineering: Introducing Pragmatics into Ontologies
for Net-Centric Information Exchange”. Elsevier Press.
He has worked as a technical director and program
manager for several large DoD contractors where
skilled requirements and data engineering were critical
to project success.
What You Will Learn
• Overview of IEEE and CMMI approaches to requirements
engineering.
• Basic concepts of Discrete Event System Specification
(DEVS) and how to apply them using DEVS Modeling
Environment.
• How to understand and develop requirements and then
simulate them with both Discrete and Continuous temporal
behaviors.
• System of Systems Concepts, Interoperability, service
orientation, and data-centricity within a modeling and
simulation framework.
• Integrated System Development and virtual testing with
applications to service oriented and data-distribution
architectures.
From this course you will obtain the understanding
of how to leverage collaborative modeling and
simulation to develop requirements and analyze
complex information-intensive systems engineering
problems within an integrated requirements
development and testing process.
