About the Presentation
Model-based systems engineering promotes the use of modeling and models as focal design artifacts to enhance the rigor and robustness of systems engineering activities throughout the various phases of a system’s life cycle—with an emphasis on the early, conceptual phases.
The Object Management Group’s Systems Modeling Language (SysML) and Object-Process Methodology (OPM) are the two conceptual modeling languages currently in use. In this presentation, MIT Visiting Professor Dov Dori will:
- highlight the working principles of OPM, with examples from various domains;
- explain the differences between OPM and SysML; and
- present the upcoming ISO 19450 OPM standard.
A question-and-answer period will follow the presentation. We invite you to join us.
