A Guide to Apply a Model-based Systems Engineering Approach with SysML to Specify and Architect Systems.

This book provides a straightforward guide to develop an architecture model of a Small Satellite using the Systems Modeling Language (SysML(R)). SysML is a general-purpose modeling language used to specify and architect systems. Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is intended to produce an integrated system model using SysML which reflects multiple views of the system to specify the interaction and interconnection of its components, and their functions, states, interfaces, and performance and physical characteristics. The system model can enhance quality, reuse, and shared understanding of the system.

This book can be used by instructors and students to learn how to apply MBSE with SysML, as well as practitioners of MBSE and organizations as a reference approach for their application.
