Increasing the pace of development and digital integrations, requires a tool that can describe many different concepts and components of a system. SysML is one such language that enable many types of information to be represented, however this wide-open expressive power makes if difficult to use for analytical purposes. AADL on the other hand provides this focus and enables the analysis of systems cyber physical properties. This presentation explores what it takes to bridge the gap between these needed tools.
