Behavior Engineering is an integrated discipline that supports the systems and software engineering of large-scale, dependable software-intensive systems.

Behavior Engineering's strength lies in the innovative way it squarely addresses the problems of scale, complexity, and imperfect knowledge associated with the large set of requirements needed to guide the development of challenging integrated systems.

Behavior Engineering employs a graphical Behavior Modeling Language (BML) that is used to construct complete behavioral, compositional and structural integrated views from natural language descriptions of a large set of requirements for a proposed system. Together these three formalized views extract all the useful information that is needed to preserve and clarify the intention expressed in natural language requirements. A Behavior Modeling Process (BMP) used to construct the integrated views
