Modeling is a key tool for eliciting and specifying requirements. Models are excellent methods of communication. They highlight important aspects, abstracting them from details that are currently unimportant. In this way, models are particularly helpful in working out underlying needs.

At HOOD, modeling is therefore used as a tool in all key areas; from business process modeling, system specifications, to the analysis and design of software.

For this we make use of standards such as Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) and Event-driven Process Chain (EPC) for business process analysis, SysML for system specifications and UML for analysis and design of software systems.

We regard the integration of modeling and requirements engineering as essential for creating synergies between new approaches such as Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Model-Driven Development (MDD), and the established approaches in requirements engineering.

Our many years of experience in modeling means that we can help you in making the correct use of suitable modeling elements in your projects.
