Modeling Inclusive Systems in SysML

Over the past few years, inclusion of disabilities and gender has become an issue in systems design. Design techniques, and model-based ones in particular, need to evolve accordingly. A survey of the literature indicates that little work has been published on modeling inclusive systems in a MBSE context. How to make systems inclusive and model them in SysML is the subject of this paper. Mind maps facilitate thinking about inclusive systems in general before focusing discussion on SysML modeling of these systems. The proposed approach covers the early stages of the life cycle of systems, with need expression, requirement capture, analysis and design. An Electronic Voting Machine serves as case study.
