This means that the requirements and structures
of a system are looked at totally detached from the knowledge of specifi c details.
The entire lifecycle from the idea to the disposal is planned to develop a system
that fulfi lls the wishes of all participants.
Software development can learn a lot from systems engineering. But there
is no taking without giving. Systems engineering can also learn from software
development, where highly developed modeling tools and methods are available.

The Unifi ed Modeling Language ( UML TM
) is a modeling language from this fi eld.
It has established itself as a worldwide standard. What systems engineering has
been lacking is a standardized modeling language. This situation will change with
the new Systems Modeling Language ( OMG SysML TM ). SysML is based on UML
and is supported by leading organizations from the systems engineering industry,
including the International Council on Systems Engineering ( INCOSE ).
