Sysml blocks adaptation

Abstract

Regarding the increasing complexity of today’s systems, system engineering domain knows a constant evolution in term of processes and paradigms (Object Oriented, Component Oriented). SysML constitutes a new trends of system engineering which allows to model the system as a set of blocks. In this paper, we propose a bottom-up approach to build a system, based on its partial specifications. Our goal consists on proposing a methodology which allows to a system architect, in order to build a reliable system, to start from an abstract specification of a system, that we model as a SysML composite block, and then select a set of suitable blocks to meet this specification. The approach is based on reusing and adapting formally SysML blocks using a convertercomplement block, which plays the role of a mediator between the reused blocks and the rest part of the system.
