ESL to SysML mapping

SysML is a diagram-based language used to specify components and their interactions within a system. It has emerged as a popular system architecture modeling language for Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). SysML consists of various types of diagrams that can be cross-connected via relations.

The Elephant Specification Language (ESL) is a textual language that allows for the specification of components and their interactions in a system. ESL provides a specific syntax, which enables automatic linking within the system. This allows for a clear overview of the requirements and their relationships.

Both are powerful software to describe the relations within a complex system. To show the similarities and the differences, we will elaborate more on the SysML software and how the software can be mapped to one another.

Note

Even though we will explain the key concepts of ESL, we will assume there is some familiarity. For more information, please refer to the tutorials.
