Systems Architecture Training Courses

Building complex enterprise applications is very challenging in an ever-changing environment.

Changes in the integration between services or systems will trigger changes in the design of the system. This course covers how to design maintainable, fit to the size and purpose of your organisation service and systems architecture and practical infrastructure.

This course covers common problems with building the landscape of distributed apps, starting from integration problem, infrastructure and modern approaches, to solving complexity issues.

This course explains the pros and cons of each solution (e.g. traditional SOA vs Microservice architecture), available tools (mostly open-source) supporting the development and maintenance, etc..

Course Format

It is mostly discussion (with limited presentations).

In this instructor-led, live training in България, participants will learn how to evaluate different technologies and approaches for the design of a services-based system architecture. The training begins with a discussion and comparison of monolithic systems and service architectures, then digs into the details of microservice architecture.

Participants are given a chance to put their knowledge into practice as they step through the creation and deployment of a set of proof-of-concept microservices built with Spring Cloud, Spring Boot and Docker.
Finally, the relevant infrastructure building blocks are examined to help participants determine the most suitable tools and approaches to use for different organizational requirements.
By the end of this training, participants will have a solid understanding of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Microservice Architecture as well practical experience using Spring Cloud and related Spring technologies for rapidly developing their own cloud-scale, cloud-ready microservices.

Domain Driven Design (DDD) is an approach for handling complex behaviors when developing software.

Duration: 1 day

Audience: Project managers, architects, system engineers, wishing to discover the ARCADIA method and the Capella tooling

Teaching Method:

- Theoretical presentation with examples
- Capella tool demonstrations

This practical training will enable you to discover the ins and outs of the ARCADIA (Architecture Analysis and Design Integrated Approach) method and its associated modeling language. We will also focus on the benefits of a workbench adapted to the method, through a complete case study performed with the open source Capella tool. A language, an approach, a tool: these are the three pillars needed for the success of the Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE).

Audience: Project managers, architects, system engineers, wishing to master the ARCADIA method and to learn how to use efficiently the Capella tool

Teaching Method:

- Theoretical presentation with examples
- Case Study realized with Capella

This practical training will show you how to use efficiently the SysML modeling language. You will discover in particular the block diagrams for structural modeling of complex systems. You will deepen the sequence diagram, the state diagram and activity diagram for dynamic modeling. You will also learn to use specific SysML diagrams, such as the requirements diagram and the parametric diagram, as well as the important concept of allocation. We will also focus on the need to define a modeling approach, adapted to the context of the company and the type of system to be studied. We will finally see what is the state of the art of SysML modeling tools.

Audience:

Project managers, architects, system engineers, having to model complex systems including both software and hardware

Teaching Method:

- Theoretical presentation with examples
- Case Study on paper (demo of a SysML tool by the trainer)

This training will teach you how to use SysML, the modeling language for systems engineering. In particular, you will learn about block diagrams for structural modeling of complex systems. You will deepen the sequence diagram, state diagram and activity diagram for dynamic modeling.

You will also learn how to use specific SysML diagrams such as the requirements diagram and the parametric diagram, as well as the concept of allocation. We will also emphasize the need to define a modeling approach, adapted to the business context and the type of system to be studied.

The practice will be done using the Cameo Systems Modeler (MagicDraw) modeling tool from NoMagic.

Teaching method

- Theoretical presentation illustrated with examples
- 50% practical work with Cameo Systems Modeler on a case study throughout the training

The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental examination tests knowledge and skills required to construct a basic SysML model of a system. The examination covers model concepts and organization, basic requirements capture and management, structure and behavior models, parametric models, allocation relationships, and use of stereotypes. Using the knowledge and skills covered at this level plus familiarity with a suitable SysML modeling tool, a holder of the OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification should be a productive contributor to modeling tasks performed by a Systems Engineering team employing a model-based systems engineering approach using SysML. The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification is a prerequisite for the program’s two higher levels, and requires the OCSMP Model User Certification as its prerequisite.

This examination (as well as the others in the OCSMP series) tests your ability to apply the knowledge and skills listed here in the context of a model of a system. As you study, go beyond each individual diagram to understand how aspects that it models can influence or affect aspects of the system represented in other diagram types.

This Introduction to Enterprise Architect training course is designed for all persons who wish to use Sparx Systems’ UML modelling tool, Enterprise Architect, for their modelling activities yet are unfamiliar with the features, functions and use of Enterprise Architect.

This course is designed for business analysts, managers, team leads and process owners to provide them with the required competencies for creating use case diagrams and use case scenarios, which serve as a vehicle for eliciting, analyzing, documenting and communicating functional requirements. Delegates will practice creating use cases in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) to graphically represent the interactions between use cases and actors.

In this instructor-led, live training in България (online or onsite), participants will learn how to use SysML as implemented in Enterprise Architect (EA) to carry out system requirements analysis and modeling.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

- Understand and apply SysML to Systems Engineering projects, using a Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach.
- Identify system requirements based on use case models.
- Design and analyze system architecture.

The course is designed for analysts, designers, developers, testers and project managers.

The workshop presents a problem analysis, design and documentation systems using UML and Enterprise Architect of Sparx Systems. During the training will be presented to the advanced capabilities of the program (such as MDA, profiles, XMI), and best practices that can greatly simplify and accelerate modeling.

Because the training focuses on the Enterprise Architect tool it is required for participants to already know how to model in UML. For those who would like to learn modeling we have dedicated training for UML.

The training method

Lecture 10%, 90% workshop

This instructor-led, live training (onsite or remote) is aimed at architects, tech lead who work with distributed systems dedicated to high traffic and required high scalability and reliability.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

- Understand the key benefits, limitations and rules determining characteristics of distributed systems, scalable and highly reliable systems.
- Will be able to better assess what can be and what can not be achieved with such systems
- Will know typical architecture patterns of distributed, scalable and highly reliable systems
- Will understand the capabilities and proper model of usage of technologies, supporting scalability and reliability, systems like streaming service buses (based on Kafka), NoSQL storages (basing on Redis) and distributed processing.

Format of the Course

- Interactive lecture and discussion.
- Examples of architecture solutions.
- Real examples based on Kafka and Redis solutions.
