Abstract

This tutorial will be an introduction to modeling with the Ontological Modeling Language (OML) using the openCAESAR tools. I will start by giving a brief background about the language, its syntax, semantics, and use cases. Then, I will show how to use it to do vocabulary modeling for a simple systems engineering methdology. Then, I will show how to use it to model and analyze a system based on that methodology. The analysis will feature logical reasoning and SPARQL queries. Finally, I will show how to produce reports and setup a repository with CI/CD scripts.

Maged Elaasar

Maged Elaasar

is a Senior Technology Researcher at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)) at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). He technically leads the Integrated Model Centric Engineering (IMCE) program, which develops the openCAESAR project, which is a technology to transform systems engineering into a rigorous, agile, and data-centric practice. openCAESAR is being used by several space missions at JPL. Maged also leads Autonomica, an R&D project that uses openCAESAR to support architecting, implementing, and testing autonomous systems. Prior to that, Maged was a technical leader at IBM where he led the R&D of various software and systems modeling technologies. Maged is also the founder of Modelware Solutions, which is a firm that provides consulting and training services in the area of MBSE. Maged is also a lecturer in the Department of Computer Science at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). He is also a lecturer in the Multidisciplinary Graduate Engineering Program at Northeastern University (NEU). He is also a research partner to numerous research labs around the world. His research interests span model-based systems engineering, model-driven software engineering, semantic web, analytics, cloud computing, and autonomy.
