Observations

• The common graphical representations are related. • The N2 chart is equivalent to the Sequence Diagram and the DFD (Data Flow Diagram [not shown]). They differ only in format. • The FFBD and N2 and Sequence Diagram represent limiting cases of the Behavior Diagrams. • The IDEF0 is essentially a DFD with some control and allocation information added. It does not incorporate control constructs and is not executable. • The EFFBD and Activity Diagrams are equivalent and represent both functional control and data flow. They are executable. • In the sense of enablement and triggering, the feature set of each of the other diagrams is a subset of the EFFBD and the Behavior Diagram features.

Additional Areas of Application

• Enterprise modeling • Office operations

• Product modeling

• Computer/information security • Command centers • Weapon systems • Commercial systems

• Proposal management • Product development • Program management • Logistics

• Process modeling

• Configuration management • Requirements cycles

The Bottom Line:   CORE is a tool that embodies MBSE; it captures requirements, develops behavior, physical  architecture, supports analysis, and documents processes and products.
