[ARCHIVAL] Gallery: Port-based systems engineering of block models for control and simulation of Neutron Beam Instruments of the OPAL research reactor using UML/SysML (from 2007, online extracts)

Keywords

This page shows (for purposes of historical reference only) an OBSOLETE early attempt at re-appropriating Unified Modeling Language (UML^®) for elicitation of model elements using graphical Parsing Analysis. Please see now instead for systems engineering the Webel Parsing Analysis recipe for SysMLv1!

Well one spends one's time carefully and lovingly preparing a scientific article for a "theme issue" of a well-known journal and then one submits it ...

Manuscript ID: SOSYM-07-00000322
Title: Port-based systems engineering of block models for control and simulation of Neutron Beam Instruments of the OPAL research reactor using UML/SysML
Authors: Kelly, Darren
Date Submitted: 05-Jun-2007

... and then it is "peer reviewed" and then .. the entire "theme issue" is suddenly cancelled ! So what can one do ? Just "publish" it yourself with Drupal™, and you can now "peer review it" for yourself.

The article as submitted is fully available as a PDF via: 'Port-based systems engineering of block models for control and simulation of Neutron Beam Instruments of the OPAL research reactor using UML/SysML'.

The Figure numbering of this gallery corresponds with the article. It is essentially a review of my early attempts to "re-appropriate" Unified Modeling Language (UML^®) for port-based engineering of scientific instruments - including some notational tricks I developed for indicating flow ports - and my transition to Systems Modeling Language v1 (SysML^®). There has been so much progress in Systems Modeling Language v1 (SysML^®) tools since that this article is now essentially obsolete, however it does contain some interesting examples and illustrations, including snapshots of the Instrument ModelServer interfaces, and early attempts at UML^® Parsing Analysis of instrument design manuals.
