Joint Algorithm/Software Architecture

Description

As part of its collaborative software engineering processes, MBDA has developed a unified architecture concept to eliminate disharmony among product software, model software and algorithm systems.

This course has been designed to introduce the Joint Algorithm/Software Architecture concept and to help understand its benefits. It demonstrates how a UML tool such as IBM Rational Rhapsody enables definitions of Joint Algorithm/Software Architecture to be closely linked to system architecture models above and software architecture models below within a single environment.

Delivered as classroom training, the course uses an MBDA specific example to ensure that the unified architecture is understood in the relevant context and allow delegates to immediately start using the Joint Algorithm/Software Architecture concept in their projects.

Who should attend

Software Developers and Managers who wish to learn about using Joint Algorithm/Software Architecture in developing MBDA embedded software systems

Prerequisites

Although not essential, the ideally the candidate would have already attended “BE-32-Fundamentals of Model Based Systems Engineering” course. A Basic awareness of the role of embedded software in MBDA products would be an advantage as would a basic familiarity with SysML/UML views.
