SysML Distilled: A Brief Guide to the Systems Modeling Language

Description: SysML Distilled is a go-to reference for everyone who wants to start creating accurate and useful system models with SysML. Drawing on his pioneering experience creating models for Lockheed Martin and NASA, Lenny Delligatti illuminates SysML's core components, and shows how to use them even under tight deadlines and other constraints. The reader needn't know all of SysML to create effective models: SysML Distilled quickly teaches what does need to be known, and helps deepen the reader's knowledge incrementally as the need arises.
