~~DISCUSSION|Discussion Forum~~ {{:icon_academia.png?nolink&100 |}}===== Welcome to the Academic WG wiki ===== The OMG Academic Working Group (AWG) was formed on 27 September 2018. ---- ==== 1. Mission Statement ==== //The Academic Working Group looks at improving communications and generating opportunities for collaboration between OMG, industry and academic institutions. This could take the form of:// * //Investigating where OMG standards can assist in the development of curricula, including certification courses related to OMG specifications (UML, SysML, BPMN, etc.) -- [[#Catalog of academic courses and research projects|see 4.1]]// * //Proposing research project topics, in particular but not limited to computer science departments, that can inform the development of OMG specifications and standards -- [[#Collaborations in Progress|see 4.3]]// * //Leveraging OMG specifications to improve academic operations// * //Identifying existing academic courses and projects where OMG standards are used// * //Facilitating access by academia to tools that implement OMG standards (in order to support such teaching and research)// * //Providing mutual speaking opportunities for academics and OMG members// * //Helping OMG member universities share information that may result in collaboration with commercial and government members// ---- ==== 2. Co-Chairs ==== The co-Chairs of the AWG are: * Charles Dickerson (Loughborough University) * Jason McC. Smith (Elemental Reasoning) Co-chair roles and responsibilities are less formal in an OMG Working Group than they are in a Special Interest Group or Task Force. There are no formal policies and procedures about the organization of a WG. Membership in the AWG is open, free, and not restricted to holders of an OMG membership. However, co-chairs must be from an OMG member company. Diane Ehramjian (OMG Business Development) and Claude Baudoin (cébé IT & Knowledge Management) are assisting the co-chairs in meeting planning, outreach, and maintenance of this wiki. ---- ==== 3. Meetings ==== The AWG plans to operate through a mix of teleconferences and face-to-face meetings held during OMG Technical Meetings. Our first meeting is planned for Sunday, 9 December 2018, 5:00-7:00 pm Pacific time, in Renton, WA (Seattle). All members of the AWG can be reached at the address [[academic-wg@omg.org]].

Collaborations in Progress === The table below will list OMG-Academia collaborations once some have started. The Methods & Tools PSIG reported in September 2018 that it is looking into collaboration with K-12 and academic institutions to expand the market for Essence packages through education. Companies interested in publishing "essentialized" methods supported by their tools are usually willing to provide free or discounted licenses to academic institutions. ^ Title ^ Subject ^ Value to OMG ^ Value to the academic partner ^ Schedule ^ Who is involved ^ | | | | | | | === 4.4. Academic outreach topics per specification === Each specification listed below connects to a page with a list of research topics that specification authors and experts would find useful to collaborate over with academia. [[BPMN-Topics|BPMN]] [[DMN-Topics|DMN]] [[SBVR-Topics|SBVR]] === 4.5. Minimal Knowledge Sets per specification === Each specification listed below connects to a page with a collection of ideas and comments around which to start forming a minimal knowledge set for each standard. The intent is to gather and refine the material that an undergraduate or graduate student would need, at a minimum, to be able to begin engaging with a specification in a meaningful way.
