This presentation is based on Horizon Europe Project Demo-BLog where the business needs where pre-defined, and the challenges focused on defining requirements at an abstract opportunity/problem space domain level for an automated renovation advice tool.

To accomplish this task, a System Definition process was undertaken to achieve the Engineering solution space domain. And to achieve the System Definition methodology the author decided to focus on first creating an Interface Control Document that consisted of high-level overview architecture of the target system CLEA (Digital Building Logbook) and the source system BDNB (Base de Données Nationale des Bâtiments).

However, the alternative architectures presented challenges such as how to validate the requirements at this stage. The chosen tool/technique was THALES (Model-Based System Engineering) – Capella Tool and Arcadia Methodology. The article presents this approach, which included: operational analysis, system needs analysis, logical architecture and discussions reflecting the physical architecture relating to the requirement phases of need understanding and solution architecture design.

The outcome of this presentation is The French Demonstration Preliminary Requirements and acknowledgement to the benefits of MBSE: Improved communications, Increased ability to manage system complexity, Improved product quality, Reduced Recycled Time, Reduced Risk, Enhanced knowledge capture and reuse of the information.

As system architecture plays a pivotal role in the development of complex systems, it is essential to make Capella models accessible to all stakeholders to ensure alignment across disciplines. These models should also be connected to change management tools and naturally integrated within the broader system engineering documentation.

In this webinar, you'll discover how to publish Capella models to a web server and establish bi-directional connections with Confluence and Jira:

• make Capella models easily accessible to teams and partners;
• create links between Capella model elements and related content documented in Confluence;
• embed Capella diagrams and model descriptions directly into Confluence pages;
• enhance coordination between system architecture and project management workflows tracked in Jira.

This solution combines Obeo’s "Publication for Capella" add-on with SodiusWillert’s "OSLC Connect for Jira" and "OSLC Connect for Confluence".

By closing the gap between architecture, documentation, and task tracking, this integration fosters better collaboration and alignment around a shared vision of the system under development.

Laurent Delaigue is an expert software engineer who's been working on model-based technologies at Obeo for the last 17 years. After working for several years on miscellaneous aspecs of model-based engineering (Code migration, Model Comparison, Code generation), he's been specializing on MBSE for 7 years. He is currently the Product Lead of two MBSE products at Obeo, both of which are tied to Capella.
