OMG Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) Training Course

This training will explain how to use SysML, the modelling language for systems engineering. You will discover in particular the block diagrams for structural modelling of complex systems. You will deepen your understanding of the sequence diagram, state diagram and activity diagram for dynamic modelling. You will also learn to use specific SysML diagrams such as the requirements diagram and parametric diagram, as well as the concept of allocation. We will also emphasize the need to define a modelling approach, adapted to the company's context and the type of system to be studied. The practical part will be done using NoMagic's Cameo Systems Modeler (MagicDraw) modelling tool.

Target audience:

Systems engineers, business analysts and architects who need to model complex systems including hardware and software

Pedagogical method:

Theoretical presentation illustrated with examples
50% practical work with Cameo Systems Modeler on a case study throughout the training

Domain-Driven Design (DDD) offers a strategic approach to managing complex behaviors during software development.

The Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) serves as a specialized architectural framework designed for the United States Department of Defense. It offers a structured approach to addressing specific stakeholder concerns by organizing these perspectives into various viewpoints.

DoDAF establishes a collection of views that function as tools for visualizing, comprehending, and integrating the extensive scope and intricacies of an architectural description. These views are realized through tabular, structural, behavioral, ontological, pictorial, temporal, or graphical representations.

This framework is particularly well-suited for large-scale systems characterized by complex integration and interoperability challenges. It stands out for its distinctive use of operational views, which detail the external customer's operational environment in which the developing system will function.

This introductory training course in Enterprise Architect is tailored for individuals who want to leverage Sparx Systems’ UML modeling tool, Enterprise Architect, but are not yet familiar with its features, capabilities, and practical applications.

Through a blend of lectures, demonstrations, and interactive labs, this course illustrates the essential foundations for creating and sustaining an Enterprise Architecture (EA) by leveraging the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) version 1.2.

This programme is tailored for professionals who already hold an ITIL® 4 Foundation certification and wish to update their expertise to the latest ITIL® 5 framework.
It offers a streamlined and efficient transition, focusing on the key differences, novel concepts, and expanded practices introduced in ITIL® 5.

This course offers a thorough introduction to ITIL® 5, the contemporary framework designed for managing digital products and services in today's rapidly evolving business landscape. It provides participants with a robust understanding of how organizations can generate value through effective service management and collaborative efforts.

This instructor-led, live training in Norway (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level IT professionals and ICT service managers who wish to understand and apply ITSM fundamentals and practices based on ITIL 4.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand key concepts and structure of ITIL 4.
• Apply service design and architecture practices aligned with ITIL 4 principles.
• Implement effective delivery and sustainability of ICT services.
• Evaluate real-world cases and simulate ITSM practices.

The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental exam evaluates the knowledge and skills necessary to create a basic SysML model of a system. The assessment covers model concepts and organization, basic requirements capture and management, structure and behavior models, parametric models, allocation relationships, and the use of stereotypes. With the knowledge and skills acquired at this level, along with familiarity with a suitable SysML modeling tool, a holder of the OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification should be a productive contributor to modeling tasks performed by a Systems Engineering team employing a model-based systems engineering approach using SysML. The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification is a prerequisite for the program’s two higher levels and requires the OCSMP Model User Certification as its prerequisite.

This examination (as well as the others in the OCSMP series) tests your ability to apply the knowledge and skills listed here in the context of a model of a system. As you study, go beyond each individual diagram to understand how aspects that it models can influence or affect aspects of the system represented in other diagram types.

In this instructor-led live training in Norway (online or onsite), participants will learn how to leverage SysML as implemented in Enterprise Architect (EA) to perform system requirements analysis and modeling.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand and apply SysML to Systems Engineering projects using a Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach.
• Identify system requirements based on use case models.
• Design and analyze system architecture.

Through this hands-on training, you will learn to utilize the SysML modeling language effectively. You will explore block diagrams for the structural modeling of complex systems, and deepen your understanding of sequence diagrams, state diagrams, and activity diagrams for dynamic modeling. Additionally, you will learn to employ specialized SysML diagrams, such as requirements and parametric diagrams, along with the crucial concept of allocation. Emphasis will also be placed on defining a modeling approach tailored to your organization's context and the specific type of system under study. Finally, we will review the current landscape of SysML modeling tools.

Audience:

Project managers, architects, and system engineers involved in modeling complex systems comprising both software and hardware.

Teaching Method:

• Theoretical presentations accompanied by practical examples
• Case study exercises (trainer demonstration of a SysML tool)

This course is tailored for analysts, designers, developers, testers, and project managers.

The workshop guides participants through problem analysis, system design, and documentation using UML and Sparx Systems' Enterprise Architect. Training covers advanced program capabilities, such as MDA, profiles, and XMI, alongside best practices that significantly streamline and speed up the modeling process.

Since the training centers on the Enterprise Architect tool, participants are expected to already possess UML modeling knowledge. For those wishing to learn modeling from the ground up, we offer a dedicated UML training course.

Training methodology

Lecture 10%, 90% workshop

UPDM is an initiative by the Object Management Group (OMG) aimed at establishing a modeling standard that accommodates both the USA Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) and the UK Ministry of Defence Architecture Framework (MODAF). This modeling standard is known as the Unified Profile for DoDAF and MODAF (UPDM).

This course is tailored for business analysts, managers, team leaders, and process owners to equip them with the essential skills needed to create use case diagrams and scenarios. These tools serve as an effective means for eliciting, analyzing, documenting, and communicating functional requirements. Participants will gain hands-on experience in constructing use cases using the Unified Modeling Language (UML), enabling them to visually depict interactions between use cases and actors.
