Seminar - Economical and technical benefits of model based development
The seminar discusses key economical and technological benefits of model based development including an introduction to UML (Unified Modeling Language) and SysML (Systems Modeling Language).

Length: ½ day

Seminar Description
The use of UML 2.0 and SysML is a major step forward for model driven development and provides comprehensive support for all phases from analysis of business needs and specification of requirements, to construction and acceptance of deliverables. With UML 2.0 and SysML it is possible to achieve high precision and quality on specifications, planning of realization, investment decisions, construction blueprints and validation of deliverables.

The seminar discusses the key economical and technical benefits for model driven development based on the UML 2.0 and SysML standards with a primary focus on successful analysis of business needs, requirements specification, system specification and validation of deliverables for technical and information systems. The seminar also discusses the primary root cases for budget overruns, delayed delivery, high maintenance costs and the key focus areas to eliminate these cost driving factors.

The seminar also includes practical modeling examples on the application of UML 2.0 and SysML for business process mapping, requirements specification, product specification, size estimation, planning and acceptance testing.

UML is defined as a "graphical language for visualizing, specifying, constructing, and documenting the artifacts of a software-intensive system. The UML offers a standard way to write a system's blueprints, including conceptual things such as business processes and system functions as well as concrete things such as programming language statements, database schemas, and reusable software components. The UML represents a collection of the best engineering practices that have proven successful in the modeling of large and complex systems."

Systems Modeling Language (SysML) is a general-purpose modeling language extending UML for systems engineering applications. SysML supports the specification, analysis, design, verification and validation of a broad range of complex systems. These systems may include hardware, software, data, personnel, procedures, and facilities. SysML is also aligned with the ISO 10303 AP233 STEP standard. AP233 is in addition a part of the ISO 10303 AP 239 PLCS standard. SysML also includes a standardization of textual requirements traditionally managed with word processors like MS Word or proprietary requirements tools. This enables tight integration of traditional requirements specification with functional and structural models in one integrated model based on the UML/SysML industry standards.

UML/SysML models have superior precision and information density compared with traditional text based requirement specifications and enable the precise specification of complex logic. UML/SysML also enables early verification of correctness and completeness of requirements and system specifications. UML also has wide acceptance as an industry standard for information system blueprints now extended with SysML for systems engineering.

The seminar also discusses evaluation and improvement of development organizations with the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) and Six Sigma quality system.

Objectives
Upon completion you have a good understanding of the key benefits of model driven development with UML 2.0 and SysML to achieve successful identification of customer needs, specification of solution, planning of realization and validation of delivery.

Audience
Purchasers of systems development, CEO's, CIO's, IT managers, business managers, project managers, system analysts and all that are interested in economical and technological aspects on model driven development with UML 2.0 and SysML.

Seminar - Successful requirements specification
The seminar discusses key economy and technology factors and a pragmatic model for successful specification and planning of investments in information systems and technical systems using UML and SysML.

With state of the art Blueprint Technology for specification of information systems is it today possible to achieve a high precision on the bases for calculation, investment decisions, planning of realization and validation of delivery.

The seminar focuses on key aspects for successful specification of information systems, size estimation and validation of delivery. The seminar introduces how to successfully perform business process mapping, feasibility study, requirements specification, product specification, size estimation, planning and acceptance testing of information systems. The seminar also discusses the primary root cases for budget overruns, delayed delivery, high maintenance costs and the key focus areas to eliminate these cost driving factors.

The seminar also introduces business process mapping, requirements specification and product specification with the Unified Modeling Language (UML) blueprints and system size and cost estimation with Function Point (FP) analysis for well-founded investment decisions.

UML has a high precision and information density compared to traditional text based requirement specifications and enable precise specification of complex logic. UML enable early verification of correctness and completeness of requirements and system specifications. In addition UML enable seamless integration of business process models/ blueprints with the information system blueprints. UML also have a wide acceptance as an industry standard for information system blueprints.

Specifications with UML are a superior basis for procurement and calculation of information systems and as an interface between the customer and supplier that can be an internal IT-department, an external contractor or a supplier of standard systems.

For size estimation of information systems has Function Points a wide acceptance as the most accurate metric and as a base for economic decisions. Function points can be compared to other units like m², m³, watt etc. and is regarded as the most fair and technology neutral unit for procured and delivered "goods" (i.e. functionality).

The seminar also discusses evaluation and improvement of development organizations with the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) and Six Sigma quality system.

In addition the seminar includes how to seamlessly integrate business process models/blueprints with the information system blueprints. This approach enables a complete view of the information system support for the business and is an excellent base to verify that the system provides a correct support for the customers business and as a base for IT-value analysis.

Benefits
Upon completion you have a good understanding of the key technology to achieve successful identification of customer needs, specification of solution, planning of realization, validation of delivery and IT-value analysis.

Target audience
Purchasers of information systems, CEO's, CIO's, IT managers, business managers, project managers, system analysts and all that are interested in economy and technology aspects on specification and estimation of investments in information systems and technical systems.

Training - Specification of Information Systems
Development of precise, complete and unambiguous specifications that matches the business needs is the key to successful development or procurement of information systems. Specifications of high quality also enable development of cost efficient realization with low risk. Precise specifications are also the base for correct estimates of systems size and development effort and enables well-founded investment decisions and unambiguous verification of delivery.

The course primary focus is practical application of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) to produce blueprints for systems development or procurement of standard systems. The course also discusses how to calculate system size with Function Points (FP) based on UML blueprints. Function Points is an implementation independent measure of an information systems functional size and is regarded as the most efficient approach to measure system size, development costs and delivery time.

UML has a high precision and information density compared to traditional text based requirement specifications and enable precise specification of complex logic. UML enable early verification of correctness and completeness of requirements and system specifications. In addition UML enable seamless integration of business process models/blueprints with the information system blueprints.
