[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This page shows (for purposes of historical reference only) an OBSOLETE early attempt at re-appropriating Unified Modeling Language (UML^®) for elicitation of model elements using graphical Parsing Analysis.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 SysML^®!

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.
