Viewing the SysML Model Viewing the SysML Model

The image below is an overview of the major elements and relationships in the MoSSEC model (published by the TOICA project 2016). Click for a larger image

To view the SysML model, you will require a local copy of the SysML model, along with the HTML viewer. A public copy was released in June 2016 through the TOICA consortium:

www.toica-fp7.eu/media/TOICA_SysML_June2016.zip

After extracting the contents of the zip file, the HTML viewer can be found at:

...\x\TOICA\documentation\SysML_Viewer\indexLoadXMLDocLocal.htm


The SysML model in the zip file can be used in PolarSys/Papyrus. There is a public MoSSEC SysML Guide that details how to download, install and edit the MoSSEC SysML model. The SysML Guide is available to download through the TOICA consortium:

www.toica-fp7.eu/media/SysMLGuide_31May16.zip

The SysML Guide refers to using the SVN repositories of the SysML model. To use the SysML models in the zip file follow the instructions:

Develop the appropriate Client Develop the appropriate Client

The first step is to determine the collaboration points in your process, the information involved, and the tools that are collaborating. From this it can be determined which services and objects are needed i.e:
  • READ (e.g. "Get" - Client)
  • WRITE (e.g. "Set" - Client)
  • RESPOND (e.g. "Get" and "Set" i.e. Server side response)

Develop the appropriate Client (and Server)
