[ Capella Day 2019 ] Augmenting requirements with models to improve the articulation between system engineering levels and optimize V&V practices
•

Model-based systems engineering has developed significantly over the last few years, resulting in an increased usage of models in systems specification and architecture description. The question of the positioning of requirement engineering versus MBSE is a recurrent one. This talk describes one vision of this articulation where textual and model requirements actually complete each other. The results are improved contracts across engineering levels and more formalized V&V practices. Stéphane Bonnet, Thales Corporate Engineering Stéphane Bonnet is in charge of Thales Corporate MBSE Coaching and Design Authority of the Capella open source modeling solution. For the last ten years, he has led the development of Capella and has been an active contributor to the Arcadia model-based method for systems, hardware and software architectural design. In Thales, he is animating a wide community of modeling experts from all domains and countries to investigate low-maturity modeling topics, capture end-user needs, and orient method and workbench roadmaps.
