A Primer for Model-Based Systems Engineering

Vitech is pleased to announce the publication of our 2nd Edition MBSE Primer. The book in its entirety can be downloaded free by filling in the information below.

The primer addresses the basic concepts of model-based systems engineering. It covers the Model, Language, Behavior, Process, Architecture and Verification and Validation. It is a call to the consideration of the foundational principles behind those concepts. It is not designed to present novel insights into MBSE so much as to provide a guided tour of the touchstones of systems design. It is a guide to the new MBSE acolyte and a reminder to the experienced practitioner. It is suitable for use by a systems engineer new to the practice of "model-based" systems engineering, an experienced systems engineer who has been introduced to "model-based" concepts in an ad hoc fashion or by any professional knowledgeable of systems thinking and practice. It is not intended as a comprehensive guide or as practice handbook.

The importance of knowing and executing the basics is the driving force behind this primer. We welcome and look forward to your comments and your company.

We have dedicated a section of Our Community Site Forums to facilitate the opportunity for discussion.
