MODELS'21 OpenMBEE Paper: Bridging the Gap between OpenMBEE and Git

Author: Daniel Siegl, LieberLieber
Abstract:

Git and its workflows as well as best practices are the de-facto standard in the Software Engineering world. Can we leverage those concepts for Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)? How can a Git "enabled" OpenMBEE approach look like?
Branching and merging are core capabilities in agile methods, and thus, are required for agile MBSE.
Dedicated tools for supporting these capabilities for models based on Git have been proposed recently,
but their integration within a tool chain consisting of several heterogeneous tools is still a challenge.
Therefore, in this paper, we will discuss how ideas and tools from OpenMBEE can be leveraged to enable working with Git in MBSE without losing the capabilities provided by OpenMBEE/MMS Backends.
