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.

Extending DoDAF to Allow Integrated DEVS-Based Modeling and Simulation
JDMS, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2006 Pages 95–123 © 2006 The Society for Modeling and Simulation International A recent DoD mandate requires that the DoD Architecture Framework (DoDAF) be adopted to express high-level system and operational requirements and architectures. DoDAF is the basis for integrated architectures and provides broad levels of specification related to operational, system, an...
متن کاملIntegrated 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 ...
متن کاملOn the Use of Architectural Products for Cost Estimation
The Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) provides a standard set of views that illustrate specific attributes of a system. These views give different levels of detail and purpose that allow engineers to express operational, system, technical, and architectural properties for specific purposes. The twenty six different views available can be useful and at the same time overwhelmi...

The purpose of this chapter is to provide an abstracted methodology for executing Capabilities Portfolio Management (hereafter, CPM) effectively based on the Department of Defense Architecture Framework version 2.0 (hereafter, DoDAF V2.0)1. A methodology is the specification of the process to follow together with the work products to be used and generated, plus the consideration of the people a...
متن کاملIntegrated Framework for Modeling & Simulation of Complex Production Systems
The time-consuming and challenging tasks of large-scale simulation modeling; knowledge collection from disparate sources, model building and validating, and multiple-scenario simulation runs to find best solutions are generally distributed between several specialized tools. Because manufacturing and business systems are complex systems encompassing many different sub-systems and because differe...
