Problem statement: The Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) Systems provided situational awareness about operational environment and supported in decision making and directed to operative environment. These systems had been used by various agencies like defense, police, investigation, road, rail, airports, oil and gas related department. However, the increase use o...

In this paper, we provide a semantic foundation for role-related concepts in Enterprise Modelling. We use a conceptual modelling framework to provide a well-founded underpinning for these concepts. We review a number of Enterprise Modelling approaches in light of the concepts described (namely, ARIS, Archimate, DoDAF, RMODP and BPMN). This allows us to understand the various approaches, to cont...

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 ...

The idea of the enterprise architecture (EA) has been active since 1980-ies. However, enterprise architecture performance attributes analysis still lacks a clear approach and tools for implementing it in practice. The paper presents an approach for the model-driven performance evaluation of the EA models. The suggested approach is based on the Unified profile for MODAF and DoDAF (UPDM), System ...

An application of formal model checking techniques for developing analysis and assessment mechanisms for system architectures developed in accordance with the DoD Architecture Framework (DoDAF) is presented. The use of temporal logics for capturing a system’s correctness requirements and the use of an architecture design process to refine these specifications are proposed. A computer-aided veri...

This paper presents a new approach for the business and information systems (IS) alignment consisting of a framework, metamodel, process, and tools for implementing it in practice. The purpose of the approach is to fill in the gap between the existing conceptual business and IS alignment frameworks and the empirical business and IS alignment methods. The suggested approach is based on the SOA, ...

This paper presents an analysis of capability-related concepts in three enterprise architecture (EA) frameworks for the defense domain (DoDAF, MODAF and NAF). In this analysis, we adopt an ontological account for capabilities based on the notion of dispositions as endurants; a key aspect of this account is that it includes both disposition universals and individuals, in line with Aristotle’s fo...
