Online Systems Architecture Training in Kenya

This instructor-led, live training in Kenya (online or onsite) is designed for intermediate to advanced software professionals who seek to understand how to architect distributed systems that scale efficiently and handle failure gracefully.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Engineer distributed systems capable of managing load, latency, and failure effectively.
• Grasp essential architectural patterns, including microservices, event-driven architecture, and CQRS.
• Assess the trade-offs between consistency, availability, and partition tolerance (the CAP theorem).
• Select suitable strategies for communication, storage, and coordination.

This training will guide you through the use of SysML, the modeling language for systems engineering. You will explore, in particular, block diagrams for the structural modeling of complex systems. You will deepen your understanding of sequence diagrams, state diagrams, and activity diagrams for dynamic modeling. You will also learn to use specific SysML diagrams, such as requirements diagrams and parametric diagrams, as well as the concept of allocation. Emphasis will be placed on defining a modeling approach tailored to the company's context and the type of system under study. Practical exercises will be conducted using NoMagic's modeling tool, Cameo Systems Modeler (MagicDraw).

Audience:

Systems engineers, business analysts, and architects who need to model complex systems involving both hardware and software.

Teaching Method:

50% hands-on labs using Cameo Systems Modeler on a case study throughout the training

Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is a robust software engineering methodology that emphasizes modelling complex business logic by aligning technical architecture with fundamental business objectives. This programme examines how DDD empowers development teams to tackle complexity and mitigate risks using both strategic and tactical design patterns. Attendees will acquire the skills to establish a "Ubiquitous Language," delineate clear system boundaries via Bounded Contexts, and implement essential architectural components such as Entities, Value Objects, and Aggregates. The ultimate aim is to develop adaptable and maintainable software solutions that stay in harmony with the dynamic business environment.

Through a blend of instructional lectures, practical demonstrations, and interactive laboratory sessions, this course illustrates the essential principles for creating and sustaining an Enterprise Architecture (EA) by leveraging the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) version 1.2.

Course Objectives

This course aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals of embedded GNU/Linux, illustrating how its various components interconnect. It covers the essential elements required to construct an embedded GNU/Linux system, including sourcing these components, configuring, building, and installing them. Participants will also explore support resources and navigate the complexities of software licensing. Through practical, hands-on exercises, learners gain the necessary experience to independently develop their own embedded GNU/Linux systems upon successful completion of the training.

Description

This intensive five-day training programme blends practical exercises with expert instruction to clarify key concepts related to embedded GNU/Linux. It is designed to rapidly accelerate your proficiency. The course conveys the philosophy, core concepts, and essential commands for effective GNU/Linux usage through a blend of theoretical knowledge and applied learning.

Instead of starting from scratch, benefit from the expertise of an experienced trainer and leave with a robust, working knowledge of GNU/Linux. You will acquire the skills to effectively implement it within your own embedded development projects.

Who should attend?

This course is ideal for managers, project managers, software, hardware, development, and systems engineers, testers, administrators, technicians, and other professionals interested in this technology. It is designed for those who wish to quickly grasp how Embedded GNU/Linux operates. It is suitable for individuals who currently use or are considering GNU/Linux to determine its viability, those who have attempted to use Embedded GNU/Linux but seek validation of their methods, or those currently using alternative operating systems who want to evaluate whether GNU/Linux offers superior or more cost-effective solutions.

Delivery Options

While all training materials are provided in English, the delivery language can be chosen in English or German, available globally.

• Instructor-led on-site sessions
• Instructor-led online sessions
• Instructor-led hybrid (on-site and online) sessions

This instructor-led live training is tailored for beginner-level engineers and professionals who want to leverage MBPLE within CATIA Magic to understand and apply product line engineering concepts.

• By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
• Grasp the key concepts and vocabulary of PLE and MBPLE.
• Outline best practices for product line modeling.
• Implement a product line definition process in CATIA Magic.
• Employ MBPLE features like feature models, variation points, and configurations.

The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental examination evaluates the knowledge and skills necessary to create a foundational SysML model for a system. The assessment encompasses model concepts and organization, fundamental requirements capture and management, structural and behavioral models, parametric models, allocation relationships, and the application of stereotypes. By leveraging the knowledge and skills acquired at this level, along with familiarity with an appropriate SysML modeling tool, a recipient of the OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification should serve as an effective contributor to modeling tasks undertaken by a Systems Engineering team utilizing a model-based systems engineering approach with SysML. The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification is a prerequisite for the program’s two advanced levels and requires the OCSMP Model User Certification as its prerequisite.

This examination (as well as the others in the OCSMP series) tests your ability to apply the knowledge and skills listed here in the context of a model of a system. As you study, go beyond each individual diagram to understand how aspects that it models can influence or affect aspects of the system represented in other diagram types.

In this instructor-led live training in Kenya (online or onsite), participants will learn how to employ SysML as implemented in Enterprise Architect (EA) for system requirements analysis and modeling.

By the conclusion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand and apply SysML to Systems Engineering projects through a Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach.
• Identify system requirements based on use case models.
• Design and analyze system architecture.

This course is tailored for analysts, designers, developers, testers, and project managers.

The workshop covers problem analysis, system design, and documentation using UML and Sparx Systems' Enterprise Architect. Participants will explore the program’s advanced capabilities, such as MDA, profiles, and XMI, alongside best practices designed to streamline and accelerate the modeling process.

Since the training emphasizes the Enterprise Architect tool, participants are expected to already possess UML modeling knowledge. For those wishing to learn modeling from scratch, we offer dedicated UML training courses.

Training Methodology
