The Lifecycle Modeling Language (LML) was created in 2012 and overseen by the lifecycle modeling steering committee. With the need to bring back data relationships into model-based systems engineering (MBSE), LML has significantly increased in growth. We have successfully launched two conferences focused on MBSE and an e-magazine. As a result, there became a need to create an organization for LML that runs the business functions. With that need, the Lifecycle Modeling Organization was born.
The Lifecycle Modeling Organization (LMO) as its own organization needed branding separate from LML. We chose a butterfly half completed and half-built out of system nodes and links. The logo symbolizes 1) the digital twin being two parts: the data in the system and the physical result, and 2) the lifecycle of a system or process.
The lifecycle of a butterfly is one of nature’s most fascinating cases of a lifecycle. Butterflies go through a complex process of metamorphosis where they break down on a cellular level to create something new; a fitting analogy for lifecycle modeling. Lifecycle modeling allows you to successfully develop complex systems or processes using natural words and ontologies from inception to disposal to reuse.
The Lifecycle Modeling Organization’s (LMO) goal is to build a future that can handle the complexities of our rapidly changing world by changing the way people understand and handle data through a simple ontology. Growth is crucial to the lifecycle and the ever-changing Systems Engineering (SE) industry, and we’re excited to share what’s new with LMO.
We’ve also been working on our new website to raise awareness of lifecycle modeling, increase engagement, and match our new branding. Some of the greatest changes have been updates to our membership packages, our new brochure on our Resources page, videos from the last MBSE-CON to watch free of charge, and so much more. Visit our website to see all our exciting changes and to learn more about LMO.
About LMO: LMO develops and maintains an open-source modeling language that is structured and behavioral. LMO trains and educates members on how to effectively use the lifecycle modeling methods, including LML and the Lifecycle Modeling Framework (LMF) (coming soon) to develop safer, more cost-effective systems and products.
