Together with the new UML Version 2.0, the bandwidth of its
use possibilities has been further extended (see, e.g., [33]). One field of use that
has moved closer into focus is systems engineering.
Systems engineering is a discipline that has not had a uniform modeling language.
It requires a language that is independent of specifi c disciplines like software,
hardware, or mechanics. UML 2 looks like a good candidate. First, it meets
the most important requirements of systems engineering, and second, it is already
popular and widely used. In addition, there is a considerable amount of literature,
and many seminar programs are offered. The mighty extension mechanisms of this
language allow you to adapt it to the needs of systems engineering.
The International Council of Systems Engineering (INCOSE) ??”the worldwide
systems engineering organization??”set itself the objective in 2001 to establish
UML as a standard language for systems engineering. The language has been
expanded by several elements, such as a possibility to explicitly model requirements
and continuous systems.
