Two Half Day Tutorials - May 14th

07/08 - Systems Engineering Using the UML

Presenters

Dr. Jon Holt, assisted by Guy Tugwell, both of Brass Bullet Ltd.

Introduction

Two workshop sessions are suggested, each with an emphasis on interaction, participation and enjoyment, rather than three hours of lecturing. Each session will be a “no rabbits from hats” session.

These session could be given once each, or twice for one of them, depending on the response for each. Times provided are based on a three-hour session with a half-hour break at some point.

The two issues that will be tackled will be “requirements” and “process modelling”.

Course Outline

May 14th, a.m. 07 - Requirements Workshop
9:30 - 10:30	Modelling concepts, static modelling, behavioural modelling, UML diagrams
10:30 - 11:00	Requirements engineering using the UML
11:00 - 12:30	An audience-driven workshop that will cover a complete set of requirements activities. Will include the modelling of: stakeholders, business contexts, system contexts, business-, functional- and non-functional requirements, analysing these models.

May 14th, p.m. 08 - Process Modelling Workshop
13:30 - 14:30	Modelling concepts, static modelling, behavioural modelling, UML diagrams
14:30 - 15:00	Process modelling using the UML
15:00 - 16:30	An audience-driven workshop that will cover a complete set of process modelling issues. Will include: analysing international standards, defining new processes, lifecycles, lifecycle models implementing processes on projects.

Pre-requisites

No prior knowledge of modelling or the UML is assumed. The course is intended to be as interactive as possible with many practical examples given session.

Additional Information

Each course includes course notes.
