System Architectures: Legacy Tools/ Methods, DoDAF Descriptions and Design Through System Alternative Enumeration

چکیده

JDMS, Volume 3, Issue 4, October 2006 Pages 227–237 © 2006 The Society for Modeling and Simulation International The System Entity Structure (SES) Enterprise Alternative Evaluator (SEAE) provides a “next step” to government mandated architecture frameworks by augmenting pictorial views into structured system representations for making design decisions. The Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF), a documentation tool used to portray operational concepts and supporting system details, is presently void of a malleable design description that structures processes and technologies for automatic enumeration of alternatives. DoDAF architecture views contain entity-like nodes; each representing documented processes and technologies. The SEAE leverages both DoDAF view nodes and computer science–based operations research to provide an evaluation technique that generates an operational concept’s alternative architectures for future evaluation.

Integrated Data Model Development Framework for the Architecture Descriptions

One of the main pillars of the Department of Defense Architecture Framework Ver. 2.0 (DoDAF 2.0) is Meta-Model, named DM2. It defines data structure that facilitates understanding of the use of data within an architecture document and ensures sharing and reusing of architectural data across the architectures. It is still difficult to develop the data model for the architectures even though the ...
