  1. OMG Issue

SYSML14 — Part 1 of the specification

  • Key: SYSML14-4
  • Legacy Issue Number: 17246
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Change Vision ( Michael Chonoles)
  • Summary:

    In Part 1, there is a paragraph that says, in the context of describing the origins of SysML

    Currently it is common practice for systems engineers to use a wide range of modeling languages, tools, and techniques on large systems projects. In a manner similar to how UML unified the modeling languages used in the software industry, SysML is intended to unify the diverse modeling languages currently used by systems engineers.

    This is not currently correct. It should be changed to.

    It was then common practice for systems engineers to use a wide range of modeling languages, tools, and techniques on large systems projects. In a manner similar to how UML unified the modeling languages used in the software industry, SysML has started to unify the diverse modeling languages currently used by systems engineers.

  • Disposition: Resolved — SysML 1.4
  • Disposition Summary:

    In SysML 1.3, the time-relative reference of "Currently" in the first sentence was
    removed as an editorial change, so that this sentence now begins simply, "It is
    common practice ..." The sentence that follows, stating that SysML is intended to
    unify diverse modeling languages, in a manner similar to UML, does not accurately
    reflect the variety of ways that SysML can help integrate languages in a Model Based
    Systems Engineering environment. The recently completed SysML-Modelica
    Transformation Specification is an example of the use of SysML to provide a systems
    engineering context for the content expressed by another language, but not to unify
    the full content of such a language.
    Change the text of this paragraph to indicate that the goals of SysML are both to
    unify languages used by systems engineers and to support a wider range of
    discipline- and domain-specific languages.
