== History ==

The SysML initiative originated in a January 2001 decision by the [[INCOSE|International Council on Systems Engineering]] (INCOSE) Model Driven Systems Design workgroup to customize the UML for systems engineering applications. Following this decision, INCOSE and the [[Object Management Group]] (OMG), which maintains the UML specification, jointly chartered the OMG Systems Engineering Domain Special Interest Group (SE DSIG) in July 2001. The SE DSIG, with support from INCOSE and the [[ISO 10303|ISO AP 233]] workgroup, developed the requirements for the modeling language, which were subsequently issued by the OMG parting in the ''UML for Systems Engineering Request for Proposal'' (UML for SE RFP; OMG document ad/03-03-41) in March 2003.<ref name="rfp">{{cite web|authorwebsite=OMG SE DSIG|title=UML for Systems Engineering RFP|url=http://syseng.omg.org/UML_for_SE_RFP.htm|access-date=2006-06-29 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061012011253/http://syseng.omg.org/UML_for_SE_RFP.htm |archive-date= Oct 12, 2006 }}</ref>

In 2003 David Oliver and Sanford Friedenthal of INCOSE requested that [[Cris Kobryn]], who successfully led the UML 1 and UML 2 language design teams, lead their joint effort to respond to the UML for SE RFP.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=SysML Partners: Creators of the SysML |url=https://sysml.org/sysml-partners/index.html |access-date=2023-03-28 |website=SysML.org |language=en |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221018204237/https://sysml.org/sysml-partners/index.html |archive-date= Oct 18, 2022 }}</ref> As Chair of the SysML Partners, Kobryn coined the language name "SysML" (short for "Systems Modeling Language"), designed the original SysML logo, and organized the SysML Language Design team as an open source specification project.<ref>{{Cite web |title=SysML FAQ: Who created SysML and how did it get its name? |url=https://sysml.org/sysml-faq//sysml-faq/who-created-sysml.html |access-date=2023-03-28 |website=SysML.org |language=en}}{{dead link|April 2024}}</ref> Friedenthal served as Deputy Chair, and helped organize the original SysML Partners team.

In January 2005, the SysML Partners published the SysML v0.9 draft specification. Later, in August 2005, Friedenthal and several other original SysML Partners left to establish a competing SysML Submission Team (SST).<ref name=":1" /> The SysML Partners released the SysML v1.0 Alpha specification in November 2005.

=== OMG SysML ===

After a series of competing SysML specification proposals, a SysML Merge Team was proposed to the OMG in April 2006.<ref>[http://www.omg.org/docs/ad/06-03-01.pdf OMG document ad/06-03-01] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081201130201/http://www.omg.org/docs/ad/06-03-01.pdf |date=2008-12-01 }}{{dead link|April 2024}}</ref> This proposal was voted upon and adopted by the OMG in July 2006 as OMG SysML, to differentiate it from the original open source specification from which it was derived. Because OMG SysML is derived from open source SysML, it also includes an open source license for distribution and use.

The OMG SysML v. 1.0 specification was issued by the OMG as an Available Specification in September 2007.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.omg.org/spec/SysML/1.0/PDF|title=SysMLOMG 1Systems Modeling Language (OMG SysML™), V1.0 |date=September 2007 |work=omg.orgObject Management Group|access-date=2014-12-04}}</ref> The current version of OMG SysML is v1.6, which was issued by the OMG in December 2019.<ref>{{cite web|url = https://www.omg.org/spec/SysML/1.6/|title = SysMLAbout the OMG Systems Modeling Language Specification Version 1.6 |work =Object omg.orgManagement Group|access-date = 2020-01-14}}</ref> In addition, SysML was published by the [[International Organization for Standardization]] (ISO) in 2017 as a full [[International standard|International Standard]] (IS), ISO/IEC 19514:2017 (Information technology -- Object management group systems modeling language).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.iso.org/standard/65231.html|title=ISO/IEC 19514:2017 - Information technology -- Object management group systems modeling language (OMG SysML)|website=www.iso.orgISO |language=en|access-date=2017-12-29}}</ref>

The OMG has been working on the next generation of SysML and issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for version 2 on December 8, 2017, following its open standardization process.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=http://www.omgwiki.org/OMGSysML/doku.php?id=sysml-roadmap:sysml_v2_requirements_review_page|title=sysml-roadmap:sysml_v2_requirements_review_page [OMG SysML Portal]|website=www.omgwiki.orgOMG Wiki |language=en|access-date=2017-12-29}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.omg.org/gettingstarted/processintro.htm|title=OMG Process Introduction {{!}} |website=Object Management Group|website=www.omg.org |language=en|access-date=2017-12-29}}</ref> The resulting specification, which will incorporate language enhancements from experience applying the language, will include a UML profile, a [[Metamodeling|metamodel]], and a mapping between the profile and metamodel.<ref name=":0" /> A second RFP for a SysML v2 [[Application programming interface|Application Programming Interface]] (API) and Services RFP was issued in June 2018. Its aim is to enhance the interoperability of [[model-based systems engineering]] tools.
