SLIM: collaborative model-based systems engineering workspace for next-generation complex systems

Abstract

Development of complex systems is a collaborative effort spanning disciplines, teams, processes, software tools, and modeling formalisms. It is the vision of model-based systems engineering (MBSE) to enable a consistent, coherent, interoperable, and evolving model of a system throughout its lifecycle. However, no currently available modeling language can represent all aspects of a system (including system-of-systems) at all levels of abstraction across the lifecycle.
