Generating SysML Views from an OPM Model:Design and Evaluation

摘要

Conceptual modeling is key to Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)rnapproaches. OPM – Object-Process Methodology and SysML – OMG Systems ModelingrnLanguage are two state-of-the-art conceptual modeling languages. While both languages aimrnat the same purpose of providing a means for general-purpose systems engineering, thesernlanguages take different approaches in realizing this goal. As each of the languages has itsrnrelative strengths and weaknesses, ways to create synergies between them are considered inrnthis work. We propose combining advantages of each language through automatic generationrnof SysML views from an OPM model. To this end, we developed a new algorithm and softwarernapplication for implementing the OPM-to-SysML views generation, and evaluated the resultsrnthrough an experiment conducted for this purpose. Our approach can benefit variousrnstakeholders by promoting better system understanding, standardization, and improvedrninteroperability.
