  • Traceability of requirements

Use Case Diagrams

  • Viewing the system as a black box
  • Determining system boundaries with actors
  • Use cases as system services
  • Details behind the use case diagram
  • Use case structure: Nominal and alternative scenarios
  • Managing common behaviour
  • Extended and specialised behaviour

Activity Diagrams

  • Modelling flow-based logic
  • Differentiating actions from activities
  • Grasping token flow
  • Control flow versus object flow
  • Modelling decisions and concurrency
  • Swimlanes and responsibility assignment

Block Definition Diagrams

  • Decomposing states
  • Modelling concurrent states

System Modelling Resources and Further Reading

  • Suggested web resources
  • Recommended literature

Requirements

While no previous experience with system modelling is necessary, attendees should possess a strong command of 'document-centric' systems engineering practices.
