INCOSE and SAE International Announce Joint Membership Agreement INCOSE and SAE International have announced a joint membership model, whereby members of both organizations can pay discounted membership fees for each organization. INCOSE will offer a 15% discount for joint membership. SAE International will offer a 15% discount for joint membership. Joint membership is available to regular, senior, and student members of INCOSE and SAE International, with some special exclusions. Both organizations are very active in advancing the systems engineering discipline within their respective spheres of concern. More information: • INCOSE: helpdesk • SAE International: membership
Object Management Group RAAML Beta Version 1.0 Specification Defines Extensions to SysML In September, international technology standards organization Object Management Group® (OMG®) issued the Beta version 1.0 of its Risk Analysis and Assessment Modeling Language (RAAML) specification. The standard defines extensions to the SysML open-source systems modeling language needed to support safety and reliability analysis. A group of industry experts at the OMG has been working since 2016 to define the new specification, which provides the necessary capabilities. “The need for a standardized Unified Modeling Language (UML) profile/library for addressing safety and reliability aspects emerged long ago,” said Kyle Post, Systems Safety Technical Leader at Ford Motor Company and a member of the team that designed and wrote the standard. “Working group members have seen multiple commercial-grade model-based safety and reliability solution implementations being developed during the recent years and successfully used in practice. We drew upon that experience and expertise in the design of this spec.” Their new RAAML Beta Version 1.0 specification defines extensions to SysML needed to support safety and reliability analysis. It provides the modeling capabilities for tool vendors to build safety and reliability modeling tools that provide traditional representations (e.g. trees, tables, etc.) while using a modern model-based approach. The RAAML specification can provide the foundation for conducting various safety and quality engineering activities including safety and reliability analysis methods. Besides the method support, linkages to the SysML model-of-interest are provided, enabling integration with and traceability to the analyses. 6
