Description

Capella is an open-source and field-proven Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) solution to successfully design systems architecture. It provides systems architects with rich methodological guidance relying on Arcadia, a comprehensive model-based engineering method based on both industrial experimentations and system engineers' feedback.

One of Capella's key attributes is its open source nature. This presentation will highlight the specificities of this model and will make out the state of the “community”. It will give an overview of the growing community supporting Capella. From Thales' initial decision to open-source the solution to its adoption by many other companies as an MBSE backbone. Operating rules and governance will be described as well as the many ways for an end user as the ESA to get involved and to take advantage of it.

Samuel Rochet is an Arcadia/Capella evangelist and an Open Source advocate at Obeo. He is also in charge of the Capella business development. Samuel has more than a dozen years of experience in the field of systems engineering and MBSE. Since a PhD dedicated to system engineering processes and modeling technologies, he has been continuously engaged in this field. He notably worked 5 years on behalf of Airbus as Method & Tools consultant supporting the deployment of MBSE projects before joining Obeo, an open source and model-driven software vendor. Since 2013, he’s been strongly involved in the Capella Community being one of the leading contributors in Capella adoption and its ecosystem development.
