Webinar 5: Model Driven Engineering (MDE) – Modeling Adoption Practices
MDE is becoming increasing popular as an approach for formalizing complex systems information required by customers, system engineers, and software groups to improve lifecycle analysis, development, and verification and validation (V&V). SSCI is offering a webinar series to help members evaluate MDE practices and tools and adopt an MDE approach that aligns with their engineering and business needs. There are five webinars in the series. They are:
- Model Driven Engineering (MDE) - System-Level Modeling of Customer-Needed Capabilities
- Model Driven Engineering (MDE) - Leveraging System-Level Models
- Model Driven Engineering (MDE) - Modeling Tool Survey
- Model Driven Engineering (MDE) - Tool Chains for Simulink
- Model Driven Engineering (MDE) – Model Adoption Practices
Most of the modeling tools are process agnostic allowing organizations to align the tool support with their defined processes. However, this requires members to define their own methods and map the modeling practices and resulting artifacts to the existing processes. There are some adoption practices that should be applied at the start of any project to best leverage the modeling tools. This webinar, Model Driven Engineering (MDE) – Model Adoption Practices, fifth in the series, builds on perspectives given in the first four sessions of the MDE webinar series by providing recommended modeling adoption practices.Who Should Attend: This webinar is intended for Directors and Managers, Capture Manager & Team, Program and Project Leads, System and Software Engineers: architects, developers, integration and test, Process developers and Customers.
Learning Objectives: Upon completion of this webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Describe process-related considerations that can be impacted by the use of MDE
- Understand how to relate traditional process activities to modeling practices and modeling artifacts
- Understand the need incorporate modeling methods and standards
- Understand alternatives for representing and structuring the modeling information as well as the domain and context of the target system including interfaces to test, simulation, environmental models, and external systems
- Discuss gaps (e.g., tradeoff analysis) in modeling tools where members need to institute or align their practices with the way they plan to produce artifacts using models
- Discuss in general terms how different members have approached assessing their adoption of MDE
- Understand potential changes to lifecycle schedule and deliverables that can impacts proposals or traditional deliverables
- Describe how and why to conduct pilot projects to reduce the risk of adoption
Highlights: SSCI webinars are delivered via WebEx over the Internet and an audio conference call. Instructions for accessing the WebEx session and audio conference call will be mailed to all registrants approximately two days prior to the scheduled webinar.
Important: Several of the sessions in this series build on the previous one; therefore, participation in all five sessions is recommended. Please note, each session will be recorded and posted to our webinar archive page within two business days. If you miss one of the sessions, you will have an opportunity to view that session prior to the next one.
Course Information
Unless otherwise noted in a course description, the training courses above are open for attendance by member company staff. Member company staff must be logged into their For Members Only (FMO) account to register for courses. If you do not have an FMO account, you can request one by completing the
Account Registration
form.
Courses listed on our
Training and Events Calendar
are available to SSCI members at no additional cost. Non-members may be eligible to attend some of our training courses; a registration fee may apply. Non-members should call (800) 827-4772 or contact our training coordinator at
ask-ssci@systemsandsoftware.org
to request registration.
Professional Development Units (PDU): SSCI is a Registered Education Provider with the Project Management Institute (PMI) and provides Professional Development Units (PDUs) for several of our courses and workshops. Individuals interested in PDUs for registered courses should visit the PMI website (
www.pmi.org
) for a complete listing.
For courses not registered with PMI, students have the option to self-assess the relationship of course materials against the PMBOK. Self-assessments require students to determine the number of appropriate PDU’s based on the total course contact hours that align with PMBOK topics. Students may then claim PDUs through PMI’s website. Please note that students are responsible to maintain documentation of self-assessments in the event of a future inquiry/audit from PMI.
