First, the systems engineering phases within a model-driven system development lifecycle are defined (example: IBM Rational Integrated Systems/Embedded Software Development Process Harmony). Two essential development lifecycle models - V-model and spiral model - will be presented and discussed. It will be shown how modeling and model execution supports the different development phases. The role of testing, as well as requirements traceability throughout the development process, will be addressed. After an introduction to the fundamentals of the model-based systems engineering approach (essential UML/SysML artifacts for systems engineering, service request-driven system modeling approach), the model-based systems engineering workflow and the generation of associated work products will be demonstrated by means of a simple example (Security System).
