From Theory to Practice: Applying STRATA to a Real-World System

Last month, we explored Vitech’s CSDL, providing an overview of the modeling language and a hypothetical pathway for constructing a system. We reinforced these concepts with a real-world example, though limited to a few levels of decomposition.  Over the past two weeks, we shifted focus to Vitech’s STRATA methodology, demonstrating how it ensures …

Implementing STRATA MBSE: An Introductory Guide to Layered Systems Engineering

Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is a powerful approach to managing complex system development, and STRATA MBSE methodology provides a structured framework for ensuring consistency, completeness, and correctness. But how does STRATA work in practice? In this blog, we’ll explore how to implement STRATA effectively, focusing on layered decomposition, cross-pillar alignment, …

Introduction to STRATA: A Layering Methodology in Model-based Systems Engineering

In the evolving landscape of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), practitioners often face the challenge of maintaining clarity and coherence across increasingly complex system models. As systems grow in scale and sophistication, a structured, methodical approach becomes essential to manage abstraction, decomposition, and integration effectively in a way that maintains definitional …

The Power of Modeling Language Extensibility with CSDL

What Is Extensibility in Systems Engineering Modeling Languages?  In the context of systems engineering, extensibility refers to the ability of a modeling language to be adapted and expanded without breaking its core structure or semantics. A language like CSDL provides a foundation for modeling systems, but no two organizations or …
