== History ==

The SysML initiative has its origins 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 as part of 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|author=OMG SE DSIG|title=UML^TM for Systems Engineering RFP|url=http://syseng.omg.org/UML_for_SE_RFP.htm|accessdate=2006-06-29}}</ref>

The orgins of the SysML initiative can be traced to a strategic decision by the International Council on Systems Engineering’s

(INCOSE) Model Driven Systems Design workgroup in January 2001 to customize the Unified Modeling Language

(UML) for systems engineering applications. This resulted in a collaborative effort between INCOSE and the Object

Management Group (OMG), which maintains the UML specification, to jointly charter the OMG Systems Engineering

Domain Special Interest Group (SE DSIG) in July 2001. The SE DSIG, with support from INCOSE and the ISO AP 233

workgroup, developed the requirements for the modeling language, which were subsequently issued by the OMG as part of

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|author=OMG SE DSIG|title=UML^TM for Systems Engineering RFP|url=http://syseng.omg.org/UML_for_SE_RFP.htm|accessdate=2006-06-29}}</ref>

In mid-2003 the ''SysML Partners'',<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sysml.org/partners.htm|title=SysML Partners|accessdate=2006-06-29}}</ref> an informal association of industry leaders and tool vendors co-chaired by [[Sanford Friedenthal]] and [[Cris Kobryn]], organized an open source specification project to develop the SysML in response to the "UML for Systems Engineering" RFP. The SysML 1.0a open source specification was completed and submitted to the OMG in November 2005.<ref name="sysml faq">{{cite web|author=SysML Partners|title=SysML FAQ|url=http://www.sysmlforum.com/faq.htm|accessdate=2006-06-29}}</ref> After a series of competing specification proposals, a "SysML Merge Team" proposal was proposed to the OMG in April 2006. This proposal is now being finalized via the OMG adoption process.
