What’s that coming over the hill? Is it a monster? Is it a monster?
We are happy to announce that the 3rd edition of “SysML for Systems Engineering: 3rd edition: A model-based approach” (known to many as The Monster) is available.
Contents
This is not a complete rewrite of The Monster, but an update. It includes:
- Corrections to the errata that found its way into the second edition
- An update of the core modelling notation to SysML 1.5
- An update of the ISO 15288 standards model to the latest version
- An update of various chapters to reflect the frameworks (and tool profiles) described in our book ‘Foundations for Model-based Systems Engineering: From Patterns to Models’
- New chapters on:
- The Benefits of MBSE
- Model Structure and Management
- Model Maturity
- Value Chain Modelling
In order to make room for the new material, Annexes C, D and F from the second edition were removed. Don’t worry – we have made the content of these Annexes available on our Knowledge Base.

Errata
Unfortunately The Monster hasn’t emerged from its birthing process free from defects.
