SysML - Did you hear about it?
SysML that stands for Systems Modeling Language grabbed my attention when I was searching for some UML related tools. Sparxsystems has a tool that supports SysML.
If you have ever heard/learnt about it before, you may want to stop reading further 
For me, after reading about SysML, it looked like an elder brother of UML and in fact they have similarities in their genes.
Now, what the heck is SysML?
The SysML (Systems Modeling Language) is a domain-specific modeling language for systems engineering applications. It supports the specification, analysis, design, verification and validation of a broad range of systems and systems-of-systems. These systems may include hardware, software, information, processes, personnel, and facilities.
SysML was originally developed as an open source specification project initiated in 2003. The SysML specification is publicly available for download, and includes an open source license for distribution and use.

As for a software engineer, it may not interest much but whats wrong in learning a thing a day
