In-plant logistics systems modeling with SysML

Book Contribution - Book Chapter Conference Contribution

Up till now Systems Modeling Language (SysML) has mostly been used to model physical systems of interest. This paper shows how SysML can also be used to represent an abstract model. In this application a mathematical cost model is represented using the SysML plugin for the software MagicDraw. ParaMagic, a plugin in MagicDraw supplementary to SysML, links to Mathematica to solve the model. SysML is a formal language and offers a very intuitive graphical representation. It is therefore a useful medium to create a domain specific language for a field of knowledge. The comprehensiveness of the language, which makes it possible to incorporate specification, analysis, design, verification, and validation of systems, makes it a very valuable tool for collaboration on large projects.
