Praise for
SysML Distilled
“In keeping with the outstanding tradition of Addison-Wesley’s techni-
cal publications, Lenny Delligatti’s
SysML Distilled
does not disappoint.
Lenny has done a masterful job of capturing the spirit of OMG SysML
as a practical, standards-based modeling language to help systems engi-
neers address growing system complexity. This book is loaded with
matter-of-fact insights, starting with basic MBSE concepts to distin-
guishing the subtle differences between use cases and scenarios to illu-
mination on namespaces and SysML packages, and even speaks to some
of the more esoteric SysML semantics such as token flows.”

“The power of a modeling language, such as SysML, is that it facilitates
communication not only within systems engineering but across disci-
plines and across the development life cycle. Many languages have the
potential to increase communication, but without an effective guide,
they can fall short of that objective. In
SysML Distilled,
Lenny Delligatti
combines just the right amount of technology with a common-sense
approach to utilizing SysML toward achieving that communication.
Having worked in systems and software engineering across many do-
mains for the last 30 years, and having taught computer languages,
UML, and SysML to many organizations and within the college setting,
I find Lenny’s book an invaluable resource. He presents the concepts
clearly and provides useful and pragmatic examples to get you off the
ground quickly and enables you to be an effective modeler.”

“This book provides an excellent introduction to SysML. Lenny Delli-
gatti’s explanations are concise and easy to understand; the examples
well thought out and interesting.”

Susanne Sherba, Senior Lecturer, Department of
Computer Science, University of Denver
“Lenny hits the thin line between a reference book for SysML to look
up elements and an entertaining book that could be read in its entirety
to learn the language. A great book in the tradition of the famous
UML
Distilled.”

“More informative than a PowerPoint, less pedantic than an OMG Pro-
file Specification,
SysML Distilled
offers practicing systems engineers
just the right level of the motivation, concepts, and notation of pure
OMG SysML for them to attain fluency with this graphical language for
the specification and analysis of their practical and complex systems.”

“Delligatti’s
SysML Distilled
is a most aptly named book; it represents
the distillation of years of experience in teaching and using SysML in
industrial settings. The author presents a very clear and highly read-
able view of this powerful but complex modeling language, illustrating
its use via easy-to-follow practical examples. Although intended pri-
marily as an introduction to SysML, I have no doubt that it will also
serve as a handy reference for experienced practitioners.”

“SysML is a rather intimidating modeling language, but in this book
Lenny makes it really easy to understand, and the advice throughout
the book will help practitioners avoid numerous pitfalls and help them
grasp and apply the core elements and the spirit of SysML. If you are
planning on applying SysML, this is the book for you!”

Celso Gonzalez, senior developer, IBM Rational
“SysML
Distilled
is a great book for engineers who are starting to delve
into model-based systems engineering. The space system examples
capture the imagination and express the concepts in a simple but effec-
tive way.”

Matthew C. Hause, chief consulting engineer,
Atego and chair, OMG UPDM Group
“I’ve been deeply involved with OMG since the 1990s, but my profes-
sional needs have not often taken me into the SysML realm. So I thought
I’d be a good beta tester for Lenny’s book. To my delight, I learned a
great deal reading through it, and I know you will too.”

“SysML
Distilled
provides a clear and comprehensive description of the
language component of model-based systems engineering, while offer-
ing suggestions for where to find information about the tool and meth-
odology components. There is evidence throughout the book that the
author has a deep understanding of SysML and its application in a sys-
tem development process. I will definitely be using this as a textbook in
the MBSE courses I teach.”

J. D. Baker, OCUP, OCSMP, member of the
OMG Architecture Board
“SysML
Distilled
is the desktop companion that many SysML modelers
have needed for their bookshelves. Lenny has the experience and certi-
fications to help you through your day-to-day modeling questions.
This book is not a tutorial, nor is it the encyclopedic compendium of all
things SysML. If you model using SysML, this will become your daily
companion, as it is meant to be used regularly. I believe your copy will
soon be dog-eared, with sticky notes throughout.”

Dr. Robert Cloutier, Stevens Institute of Technology
“SysML is utilized today in a wide range of applications, including
deep space robotic spacecraft and down-to-earth agricultural equip-
ment. This book concisely presents SysML in a manner that is both re-
freshingly accessible for new learners and quite handy for seasoned
practitioners.”

Russell Peak, MBSE branch chief,
Aerospace Systems Design Lab, Georgia Tech
“SysML
Distilled
is a wonderfully written, knowledgeable, and concise
addition to systems modeling literature. The lucid explanations lead a
newcomer by the hand into modeling reasonably complex systems,
and the wealth and depth of the coverage of the most-used aspects of
the SysML modeling language stretch to even enabling advanced inter-
mediate depictions of most systems. It also serves as a handy reference.
Kudos to Mr. Delligatti for gifting the world with this very approach-
able view of systems modeling.”
