Spreadsheet-based templates for supporting the systems engineering process

摘要

A spreadsheet environment is used as a graphical user interface (GUI) for depicting and interacting with the various aspects of a system. In particular, the spreadsheet environment supports using OMG SysML to model a system, and to execute tasks associated with the systems engineering process. The spreadsheet environment also supports the use of pre-defined templates whose contents and features are common to a multiplicity of projects that a company or company unit may undertake, and which can be made specific or modified based on a project's needs.
