Use Eclipse Capella for the architecture description

[mlebourgeois]

Hello everyone,

A while ago, we suggested to create an SDV blueprints that would use the MBSE tool Eclipse Capella, and while discussing with the SDV team, we were advised to model the Companion Application with it.
I started working on that and I realize it might be a good addition to the document that already exists. Let me know what you think and if you need more details. If needed, I can send the model I started to create.

I'm just adding an image of what an architecture description in Capella could look like

Hi,

This contribution is a follow-up of EclipseCon 2023 SDV Community day, where Martin did a talk about how and why Capella and Eclipse SDV tools could benefit from each other: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agMK5GS_WLE
Several SDV members asked for a this demonstrator, based on a SDV blueprint.

Of course, we are OK to publish this work in the open. How to proceed? Should we propose a PR inside this github project?

@ejuliot thank you for taking initiative on this. Blueprints community meets online on the first Tuesday of every month, 3:00PM CEST (Central European Timezone) https://eclipse.zoom.us/j/87157845284?pwd=D03VKRagudrVMnVZVJ0U1KnhRM4C3A.1. We also a have slack channel. It would be very helpful if you presented your ideas there too.

Hi @nacidai,
Thanks for your answer. I think it could be nice to present what I currently have during tomorrow's meeting, so I am writing that down in my agenda and I will attend it to discuss how to move further. Talk to you tomorrow!

[mlebourgeois]

Hi @nacidai Could you please add this point to next Tuesday's agenda? I will happily join and discuss that with you.

Hello,
@mlebourgeois and @ejuliot thank you for the proposal. First of all sorry, that I did not react earlier.

Your idea sounds promising, so I would be glad to review a respective PR and discuss in one of the next SDV blueprint calls.

After taking a first look at the screenshot attached by you, the naming of the components and actions seems to be quite different. Maybe it is a good idea to take the flows and elements described https://github.com/eclipse-sdv-blueprints/companion-application/blob/main/architecture-seat-adjuster.md as foundation for the Eclipse Capella model to propose.

Hi @eriksven,
Thanks for your answer and for your feedback. I will add the next SDV Blueprint call on my agenda and connect to discuss it with you!
And yes, I will change to align the names in my Capella model with those in the provided documentation. I'll try to work on it before the next call, so I can show a consistent model then.

Sounds good, looking forward to the meeting later today.

@eriksven I made a PR with what I can suggest, let me know what you think of it.
Of course, we're open to suggestions and feedbacks.
