SysML a DSML??
Posted in: SysML
On the Visual Modeling Forum website, which kindly references this blog (thanks for that), there’s a page comparing General Purpose Languages to Domain Specific Languages. Unfortunately they didn’t get it right: the page references SysML as a Domain Specific Modeling Language. I’m a follower of the same school as Juha-Pekka Tolvanen and Steven Kelly, which states that a Domain Specific Modeling Language should address a domain that is specific to a single company’s (problem or solution) domain. Systems Engineering and Systems Modeling do not adhere to this, and SysML is thus a general purpose language in my book. I’ll try to get in touch with the people behind that site to have this issue addressed – more likely in the form of a discussion than a correction I’m afraid.

Interesting merger...
Posted in: SysML
Telelogic has acquired I-Logix – interesting, the result is another company that covers the areas Rational tried to cover.And with Rhapsody, they have a better UML RT tool in place than Rose RT, which is a couple of years behind track now. The latest Rhapsody version also supports a previous draft of the SysML standard – too bad they need to do some work to incorpate the changes published after the February 15th SysML meeting.

SysML 0.99 - an improvement?
Posted in: SysML
Been busy with other things for a while, but SysML is still on the back of my mind. After the reviews by OMG and INCOSE, the two competing standards have merged again. Looking at the presentation of february 15th on the SysML site, things may have turned for the better – the two standards are merged and at the same time a certain amount of review comments have been incorporated. Next step is the extended deadline of April 3rd.Meanwhile, Artisan have announced a Webinar on SysML for next tuesday. I’m booked at that time, so hopefully there’s a re-run or second round later on. Any information on what is told there is welcome – just post a comment here.

A merger...
Posted in: SysML
Looks like I missed something – a single, small line on a cramped page on the SysML page of OMG:
SysML Merge Team
SysML Specification Draft v0.99 ad/06-02-01) – 13 Feb 2006<
Turns out the two teams have merged. I wonder what the result is going to be…
B.t.w.: why is this line hidden on http://syseng.omg.org/SysML.htm, while the link http://syseng.omg.org" takes me to the SE-DSIG page, which does not list this document?

Silence on SysML
Posted in: SysML
The INCOSE review comments on SysML submissions I wrote about earlier", seem to have had some impact on the evaluation meeting in Tampa, on February 14th and 15th. After two days, I haven’t been able to find a single news item on the results of the meeting – not on the OMG site, nor on the site of sysml.org of the individual companies that form the submission teams. What’s the verdict?
