This contribution consists of an extension to the activity diagram. We mapped it to the Bond Graph formalism which is often used for the design of mechatronic systems. We use the extension mechanisms that SysML inherits from UML2.0 such as stereotypes and tagged values to establish mapping rules from activities to bond graphs. The paper is concluded by an example to illustrate this proposal.

We use the OpenMASK environment as a tool for building the prototype. The whole virtual model of a machine is composed by the association of modular generic objects. The association of modular parts is considered from the geometrical and the behavioural points of view. In this article we present a solution for virtual prototyping based on the UML language and the MDA architecture. We present first the PSM ( Platform Specific Model) build with the Objecteering UML tool and then we describe the bases of the future PIM (Platform Independent Model).

We intro-duce multi-level power models and show how to use them at different levels of the specification refinement in the ...

The time reduction of design and manufacture is a problem which must be overcome. Industries must be able to make early decisions in the life cycle of the product. The virtual prototyping is a tool which helps solving this problem. A virtual environment for prototyping is a real time simulator allowing a virtual contact with the product. In this paper, we present an application under the virtual environment ...

However, sometimes, students are mystified due the existence of different styles of presentations, definitions, terminologies and examples of a common subject in those sources. This is also true for professors who want to design a course material and teach students in a standard way. Considering the need of well-formed and standard teaching and co-learning materials, in this paper we propose a model that assists professors to design a course. We develop a tool that represents course content graphically with illustrations and semantic meaning. The proposed model is an automated semantic e-learning system based on BNF rules and the OWL ontology language that is capable of representing course contents using ontology. We also demonstrate the feasibility of this model through experiments using the BNF grammar for a programming language as a studying course.

In a precedent paper we proposed such a profile based on activity diagrams to benefit from the nodes of that diagram. In this new profile, we insist on the semantic rather than the graphical aspects. Here, we choose to extend the internal block diagram of SysML for the resemblance of its semantics with those of the Bond Graphs. In fact, both diagrams give a static view of the system. We develop this argumentation in the introductory paragraph. Then we briefly present SysML and the extension mechanisms. Then we present the Bond Graph language elements. After that we introduce our profile and we give an example of its application.
