OMG Announces Availability of Second
Exam Level in Program to Certify
Practitioners of Model-Based Systems Engineering Using SysML
Program Sponsors Include IBM, Lockheed Martin,
Sparx Systems and No Magic
and OMG certification partner UML Technology Institute
Needham, MA, USA - December 16, 2010 - OMG® announces
that "Model Builder-Fundamental," the second
examination in the OMG Certified Systems Modeling
Professional™ (OCSMP™) program, is now available. The
program's sponsors IBM®, Lockheed Martin, Sparx Systems and
No Magic, Inc., and OMG certification partner UML Technology
Institute Co., Ltd. (UTI), have made construction and
validation of the exams possible. For more information,
please visit http://www.omg.org/ocsmp.
Through this program, OMG will award the OCSMP™
certification at four levels, with each level serving as the
prerequisite for the next one above. The second level, OCSMP
Model Builder - Fundamental, tests the knowledge and skills
required to construct a basic SysML model of a system. OMG
expects that most practitioners of Model Based Systems
Engineering (MBSE) will want to acquire the Model
Builder-Fundamental certification.
"The first level of OCSMP certification was designed
for model users - for example, stakeholders who need to see
that their requirements have been incorporated into a
design, or test engineers who must confirm that
specifications have been complied with," said Jon
Siegel, Ph.D., OMG Vice President of Technology Transfer and
Director of Certification. "This exam extends the
program into model building. The holder of this pair of
certifications - OCSMP Model User and Model
Builder-Fundamental - has studied and learned the
foundations of model-based systems engineering, and should
be a productive contributor to modeling tasks performed by a
Systems Engineering team employing SysML."
Another important supporter of OCSMP is the International
Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE), whose Systems
Engineering (SE) certification CSEP complements OCSMP. By
design, these two programs work together to cover the SE
domain including both conventional and model-based
approaches. For information about the partnership between
OMG and INCOSE, see the May
2009 press release.
Following the successful pattern established by OMG's
three current certification programs developed in
partnership with UTI - OCUP™
for UML® Modelers, OCEB™
for BPM Practitioners, and OCRES™
for Real-time and Embedded Systems Developers -
examinations will be computer-based and administered by
Pearson VUE through their network of secure testing centers.
