Architecture of Distributed and Highly Scalable Systems Training Course

This training course will explain how to use SysML, the modeling language for systems engineering. You will particularly explore block diagrams for the structural modeling of complex systems. You will deepen your understanding of sequence diagrams, state diagrams, and activity diagrams 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 concept of allocation. We will also emphasize the importance of defining a modeling approach adapted to the company's context and the type of system to be studied. Hands-on practice will be conducted using the modeling tool Cameo Systems Modeler (MagicDraw) by NoMagic.

Audience:

Systems engineers, business analysts, and architects who need to model complex systems involving both hardware and software

Teaching Method:

Theoretical presentations illustrated with examples
50% hands-on exercises with Cameo Systems Modeler over a case study throughout the course

This training course on Enterprise Architect is tailored for individuals seeking to utilize Sparx Systems’ UML modelling tool, Enterprise Architect, for their modelling tasks but who are not yet familiar with its features, functionalities, and application.

Through a blend of lectures, demonstrations, and interactive labs, this course illustrates the foundational methods for creating and sustaining an Enterprise Architecture (EA) employing the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) version 1.2.

Course Objectives

The primary goal is to clarify the fundamentals of embedded GNU/Linux, illustrating how its various components integrate. Participants will identify the necessary elements for constructing an embedded GNU/Linux environment, learn where to source them, and understand the processes for configuring, building, and installing these components. The course also addresses support resources and software licensing considerations. Through practical exercises, attendees will gain the essential hands-on experience required to independently develop their own embedded GNU/Linux systems upon successful completion.

Description

This five-day training program combines theoretical instruction with practical exercises to elucidate the concepts underlying embedded GNU/Linux. It is structured to accelerate your proficiency rapidly. The course covers the philosophy, core concepts, and essential commands for leveraging GNU/Linux effectively, blending theoretical knowledge with practical, job-oriented training.

Instead of reinventing the wheel, benefit from the expertise of a seasoned trainer and leave with a robust working knowledge of GNU/Linux, enabling you to apply it effectively in your embedded development projects.

Target Audience

This course is designed for managers, project managers, software and hardware developers, systems engineers, testers, administrators, technicians, and other professionals interested in this technology who seek a rapid understanding of how Embedded GNU/Linux operates. It is suitable for those currently using GNU/Linux, those deciding on its viability for their needs, those who have attempted to use Embedded GNU/Linux but are unsure of their approach, or those currently using a different operating system and wishing to evaluate whether GNU/Linux offers better or more cost-effective alternatives.

Delivery Options

While all training materials are provided in English, instruction can be delivered in either English or German, available worldwide.

• In-person, instructor-led
• Online, instructor-led
• Blended in-person/online, instructor-led

This instructor-led, live training is designed for beginner-level engineers and professionals who want to utilize MBPLE within CATIA Magic to understand and implement product line engineering concepts.

• Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:
• Grasp the core concepts and terminology of PLE and MBPLE
• Articulate best practices for product line modeling
• Establish a product line definition process within CATIA Magic
• Utilize MBPLE capabilities such as feature models, variation points, and configurations

During this instructor-led live training in Greece, 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.

The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental certification evaluates the knowledge and skills necessary to create a foundational SysML model for a system. This exam encompasses model concepts and organization, basic requirements capture and management, structural and behavioral modeling, parametric models, allocation relationships, and the application of stereotypes. With the knowledge and skills acquired at this level, combined with proficiency in a suitable SysML modeling tool, an individual holding the OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification can effectively contribute to modeling tasks within a Systems Engineering team utilizing a model-based systems engineering approach with SysML. The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification serves as a prerequisite for the two higher levels of the program and requires the OCSMP Model User Certification as its entry requirement.

This examination (along with others in the OCSMP series) assesses your capability to apply the listed knowledge and skills within the context of a system model. As you prepare, look beyond individual diagrams to understand how the aspects they model can influence or affect other aspects of the system represented in different diagram types.

• Knowledge of cloud services and selection of suitable cloud architectures (with examples on Azure cloud).
• Understand and deepen the advantages of cloud architectures.
• Advantages of known architectures and choosing the right architecture.

In this instructor-led, live training in Greece (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.

This hands-on training demonstrates the efficient application of the SysML modeling language. Participants will explore block diagrams for structurally modeling complex systems, while deepening their understanding of sequence, state, and activity diagrams for dynamic modeling. The course also covers specialized SysML diagrams, including requirements and parametric diagrams, along with the critical concept of allocation. Emphasis is placed on defining a modeling approach tailored to organizational contexts and system types. Finally, we review the current landscape of SysML modeling tools.

Target Audience:

Project managers, architects, and systems engineers responsible for modeling complex systems comprising both software and hardware components.

Training Methodology:

• Theoretical instruction supported by practical examples
• Paper-based case study featuring a live demonstration of a SysML tool by the instructor

This course is tailored for analysts, designers, developers, testers, and project managers.

The workshop focuses on problem analysis, system design, and documentation using UML and Sparx Systems' Enterprise Architect. Participants will explore the tool’s advanced capabilities—such as MDA, profiles, and XMI—and learn best practices that significantly streamline and accelerate the modeling process.

Since the training centers on the Enterprise Architect tool, participants must already possess foundational knowledge of UML modeling. For those seeking to learn modeling fundamentals, we offer dedicated UML training.
