Weilkiens Tim. Variant Modeling with SysML

MBSE4U, 2016. — 91 p. — ISBN 978-3-9817875-4-2.SysML does not provide explicit built-in language constructs to model variants. Nevertheless, SysML is useful to create a model for variants. The VAMOS method presented in the book Variant Modeling with SysML is one option how to model variants with SysML. It uses the profile mechanism of SysML to extend the language with a concept for variant modeling. The concepts are core, variation point, variation, variant, variant constraint, and variant configuration. The book shows how to apply the concepts with standard SysML modeling tool.
This book gives a brief overview about the version history of the variant modeling approach in SysML.
More analysis of other variant modeling approaches
