Object Process Methodology

Object process methodology (OPM) is a conceptual <a href="/facts/Modeling_language/9Nm6YLcR">modeling language</a> and <a href="/facts/Methodology/dk5X9Hxx">methodology</a> for <a href="/facts/Knowledge_capture/RjjnVmRe">capturing knowledge</a> and <a href="/facts/Systems_design/hFWYoaNP">designing systems</a>, specified as <a href="/facts/International_Organization_for_Standardization/IacYR7Yg">ISO</a>/<a href="/facts/Publicly_Available_Specification/zbxJCR6F">PAS</a> 19450. Based on a minimal universal <a href="/facts/Ontology_(computer_science)/SQlhl6lp">ontology</a> of <a href="/facts/Stateful/4Yu8xXHS">stateful</a> <a href="/facts/Object_(computer_science)/eX99dtAw">objects</a> and <a href="/facts/Process_theory/JtMLmXa2">processes</a> that transform them, OPM can be used to formally specify the function, structure, and behavior of artificial and natural systems in a large variety of domains.
OPM was conceived and developed by <a href="/facts/Dov_Dori/T11tgRN0">Dov Dori</a>. The ideas underlying OPM were published for the first time in 1995. Since then, OPM has evolved and developed.
In 2002, the first book on OPM was published, and on December 15, 2015, after six years of work by ISO TC184/SC5, <a href="/facts/International_Organization_for_Standardization/IacYR7Yg">ISO</a> adopted OPM as ISO/PAS 19450. A second book on OPM was published in 2016.
Since 2019, OPM has become a foundation for a Professional Certificate program in <a href="/facts/Model-based_systems_engineering/SKGePR4D">Model-Based Systems Engineering</a> - MBSE <a href="https://www.edx.org/professional-certificate/israelx-model-based-systems-engineering">at EdX</a>. Lectures are available <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMJTbOJq-3RCM7E1mfHCF5Q">as web videos on Youtube</a>.
