Model-Based Structured Requirements

This repository contains SysML Profiles and example models for Model-Based Structured Requirements (MBSR) based on the publications listed below.

Contents

• Artifacts - Resources used in the model profile and generated diagrams for publications
• Examples - Example SysML models using the MBSR Profile
  • Thrust Reverser Actuation System (TRAS) - aircraft subsystem example using the Plain-Language MBSR pattern
  • Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) - UAV computational systems example of the Plain-Language MBSR pattern
  • Asteroid Sample Retrieval Spacecraft - example usage of the ISO/INCOSE-style MBSR pattern
• Profiles
  • MBSR Plain-Language Pattern - MBSRs using the "[Who] shall [What] [How Well] [Condition]" statement pattern¹
  • MBSR ISO/INCOSE Pattern - MBSRs using the "[Condition] [Subject] shall [Action] [Object] [Constraint of Action]" statement pattern² and augmented with model-based INCOSE Guide to Writing Requirements³
• Publications - Papers and posters with BibTeX citations. See below for details.
