Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is a strategic approach designed to manage complexity in software development by focusing on core business domains.

This Introduction to Enterprise Architect training course is designed for all persons who wish to use Sparx Systems’ UML modelling tool, Enterprise Architect, for their modelling activities yet are unfamiliar with the features, functions and use of Enterprise Architect.

Through a blend of lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on interactive labs, this course illustrates the foundational principles required to build and sustain an Enterprise Architecture (EA) using the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) version 1.2.

Course Objectives

This course aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the essentials of embedded GNU/Linux, illustrating how various components integrate to form a cohesive system. It addresses the critical questions of which components are required to build an embedded GNU/Linux environment, where to source them, and how to configure, build, and install them. The curriculum also covers resources for assistance and an overview of software licensing. Through practical, hands-on exercises, participants gain the necessary experience to confidently develop their own embedded GNU/Linux systems upon successful completion of this training.

Description

Over five days, this training class combines instructional theory with practical exercises to clarify the concepts of embedded GNU/Linux. The program is designed to rapidly accelerate your proficiency. By blending theoretical knowledge with on-the-job training, it explains the philosophy, core concepts, and essential commands required to utilize GNU/Linux effectively.

Rather than starting from scratch, you will learn from an experienced trainer, taking away a robust working knowledge of GNU/Linux and the practical skills to apply it effectively in your own embedded development projects.

Who should attend?

This course is ideal for managers, project managers, software, hardware, development, and systems engineers, as well as testers, administrators, technicians, and any other professionals interested in this technology who wish to quickly grasp how Embedded GNU/Linux operates. It is suitable for those who already use GNU/Linux or those with the luxury of deciding whether to adopt it. It is also appropriate for individuals who have attempted to use Embedded GNU/Linux but are uncertain if they are proceeding correctly, as well as those currently using a different operating system and wishing to evaluate if GNU/Linux offers better or more cost-effective solutions.

Delivery Options

While all training materials are provided in English, the presentation can be delivered in English or German, depending on your preference, available worldwide.

• On-site - instructor-led
• Online - instructor-led
• Hybrid (on-site/online) - instructor-led

In this instructor-led live training in the UAE, participants will learn how to evaluate different technologies and approaches for designing a service-based system architecture. The training begins with a discussion and comparison of monolithic systems and service architectures, followed by an in-depth look at microservice architecture.

Participants will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge by building and deploying a set of proof-of-concept microservices using Spring Cloud, Spring Boot, and Docker.
Additionally, the relevant infrastructure components will be reviewed to assist participants in identifying the most suitable tools and approaches for diverse organizational requirements.
Upon completion of this training, participants will possess a solid grasp of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Microservice Architecture, as well as practical experience utilizing Spring Cloud and associated Spring technologies to rapidly develop cloud-scale, cloud-ready microservices.

The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental certification assesses the knowledge and competencies needed to create a foundational SysML model for a system. The exam evaluates understanding of model concepts and organization, fundamental requirements capture and management, structure and behavior modeling, parametric models, allocation relationships, and the application of stereotypes. With the skills acquired at this level, along with proficiency in a compatible SysML modeling tool, a certified professional can effectively contribute to modeling activities undertaken by Systems Engineering teams utilizing a model-based systems engineering approach with SysML. The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification serves as a prerequisite for the program’s two advanced levels and requires the OCSMP Model User Certification as its entry requirement.

This examination (along with other assessments in the OCSMP series) evaluates your ability to apply the listed knowledge and skills within the context of a system model. During your preparation, look beyond individual diagrams to grasp how elements modeled in one diagram can influence or impact aspects of the system depicted in other diagram types.

In this instructor-led live training in the UAE (online or onsite), participants will learn how to employ SysML as implemented in Enterprise Architect (EA) to perform system requirements analysis and modeling.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand and apply SysML to Systems Engineering projects, adopting a Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach.
• Identify system requirements based on use case models.
• Design and analyze system architecture.

This hands-on training program demonstrates how to effectively utilize the SysML modeling language. Participants will explore block diagrams for the structural modeling of complex systems and deepen their understanding of sequence diagrams, state diagrams, and activity diagrams for dynamic modeling. The course also covers specific SysML diagrams, including requirements and parametric diagrams, alongside the critical concept of allocation. Attention is given to establishing a modeling approach tailored to an organization’s context and the nature of the systems under study. Finally, the session reviews the current landscape of SysML modeling tools.

Audience:

Project managers, architects, and system engineers who need to model complex systems comprising both software and hardware components.

Teaching Method:

• Theoretical presentations supported by practical examples
• Hands-on case study exercises (with trainer-led demonstrations of SysML tools)

Constructing complex enterprise applications presents significant challenges in a rapidly evolving landscape.

Modifications to the integration between services or systems inevitably drive changes in system design. This course explores how to architect maintainable, scalable service and system architectures, along with the practical infrastructure required, tailored to your organization's size and objectives.

The curriculum addresses common issues encountered when building distributed application landscapes, ranging from integration challenges and infrastructure requirements to modern methodologies for managing complexity.

Participants will examine the advantages and disadvantages of various solutions (such as traditional SOA versus Microservices architecture), along with the available tools—predominantly open-source—that support development and maintenance.

Course Format

The course primarily consists of discussions, with limited presentation components.

This course is tailored for analysts, designers, developers, testers, and project managers.

The workshop covers problem analysis, system design, and documentation using UML and Sparx Systems' Enterprise Architect. Participants will explore the software's advanced capabilities—such as MDA, profiles, and XMI—along with best practices that significantly streamline and accelerate the modeling process.

As the training focuses on the Enterprise Architect tool, participants are expected to already possess UML modeling knowledge. For those wishing to learn modeling fundamentals, we offer dedicated UML training courses.
