  1. 3rd Edition of the International Conference on Complex Systems Design & Management (CSDM 12) 12-14 December, 2012 – Paris, France Illustration of the Information Model for Complex System Modeling: from Requirement to V&V Romaric Guillerm1, 2, Hamid Demmou1, 2, Nabil Sadou3 guillerm@laas.fr, demmou@laas.fr, nabil.sadou@supelec.fr 1 CNRS, LAAS, 7 avenue du colonel Roche, F-31400 Toulouse, France 2 Université de Toulouse, UPS, INSA, LAAS, F-31400, Toulouse, France 3 SUPELEC / IETR, avenue de la Boulais, F-35511, Cesson-Sevigne, France We have defined an information model to assist the design of complex systems in a context of Model Based System Engineering (MBSE). This poster illustrates the utilization of this information model through a case study. Context 1. Design Solution The Requirement verification diagram denotes elements of V&V which satisfy the requirements with the “verify” link. • The complexity of modern systems makes system engineering processes critical. • Requirement engineering processes are important in system design. • The emergence of critical proprieties like safety needs a global approach. • MBSE allows to requirements definition and their traceability towards the solution elements and the V&V (Verification and Validation) elements. The study is limited to the “Decelerate aircraft on the ground” function. • The involved subsystems for the decelerate function are: • the thrust inverser system (or reverse), • the spoiler system, • and the wheel brake system. Requirements Diagram: Requirement Verification. The Requirement satisfaction diagram indicates the system elements (system or subsytems) that meet the requirements with the “satisfy” link. Materials and Methods • System Engineering (SE) as framework for the design of complex system. • EIA-632 standard to guide the SE approach. • Information model to address requirements definition and their traceability towards the solution and the Verification and Validation (V&V) elements. • The work considers especially an important system property which is safety. • SysML language is used to establish the information model thanks to the different available diagrams, which make SysML as the language for systems engineering.

It connects those requirements to the risks they deal with the “treat” link. Requirements Diagram: Requirement Verification. (extract) Information Model 3. V&V The information model that we propose is adapted to the EIA-632 standard and makes a clear distinction between different requirements types. The Test cases diagram presents the defined V&V elements to verify the requirements. Blocks Diagram: Test Cases. Conclusion Requirements Diagram: Top-Level Requirements. (Extract) • Different concepts are handled in complex system design: requirements, design solution and V&V. • An information model aims to help engineers in the expression of these concepts, and the creation of traceability links between them in order to facilitate the comprehension and/or the impacts analysis. It also helps to formalize the practice of systems engineering through the use of models. • The objective is to improve quality/productivity and to reduce risks by introducing rigor, precision, and communications among stakeholders and managing complexity. The Requirement declinations diagram shows the declination of the system requirements into subsystem requirements through the “composition” link. Illustration The case study illustrates the interest of the SysML information model on a complex example. It consists on an S18 aircraft that the specifications are provided by the standard ARP-4761.
