Model-Based Systems Engineering with GENESYS

Observations

• The common graphical representations are related. • The N2 chart is equivalent to the Sequence Diagram and a 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 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.
