==== JPL State Analysis (SA) ====

=== Overview ===

  * JPL-developed methodology that leverages model- and state-based control architecture
    * **state** — representation of momentary condition of evolving system
    * **models** – describe how state evolves
    * **state variables** — abstractions representing “knowledge” of state
      * Known state of system is value of its state variables at time of interest

  * Together, state and models supply what is needed to operate system, predict future state, control toward desired state, & assess performance

  * SA methodology defines iterative process for state discovery & modeling
    * Allows models to evolve as appropriate across project lifecycle
    * SA reqts process helps bridge gap between requirements on software specified by systems engineers
      * **Mission Data System (MDS)** — embedded software architecture designed to provide multi-mission information and control architecture for robotic exploration spacecraft
    * SA information compiled in “State Database"

=== Tool Support ===

  * Tool support for State Analysis (SA) is provided by the State Database [55], which utilizes a Structured Query Language (SQL)-compliant relational database management system (RDBMS) such as Oracle® with a front end user interface. This tool supports developing, managing, inspecting, and validating system and software requirements capture as part of the SA process.

=== Offering/Availability ===

  * State Analysis (SA) is a JPL-developed MBSE methodology and the offering is available by means of a series of courseware and tutorials offered by SA experts. These courses are offered through JPL Professional Development on a periodic, as-needed basis, or through reimbursable contract
agreements with industry partners. As part of the hands-on exercises, access to the State Database tool and supporting training in use of the tool is provided.
