Welcome

The SysML Forum is a web community dedicated to the Systems Modeling Language (SysML), a general purpose visual modeling language for systems engineering applications. Here you can find information related to SysML modeling tools, specifications, tutorials, mailing lists, and publications.

SysML is a dialect (Profile) of the UML (Unified Modeling Language) that is customized for systems engineering applications. It supports the specification, analysis, design, verification and validation of a broad range of systems and systems-of-systems. These systems that may be modeled include hardware, software, information, processes, personnel, and facilities. The SysML Partners completed their SysML v. 1.0a open source specification draft and submitted it to the Object Management Group (OMG) in November 2005. A series of competing specification proposals was followed by a "SysML Merge Team" proposal submission to the OMG in April 2006, which was adopted by the OMG as OMG SysML™ in July 2006.

You can download the most recent version of the SysML open source specification by clicking here. See for yourself why this new visual modeling language is smaller and better suited for systems engineering applications than the Unified Modeling Language™ (UML™) on which it is based. (SysML is currently specified as a UML 2.0 Profile, or customization.)
