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...

Architecture Framework (DODAF) L. Ertaul, J. Hao Math & Computer Science, CSU East Bay, Hayward, CA, USA Math & Computer Science, CSU East Bay, Hayward, CA, USA Abstract – The U.S Government Department of Defense employs DoDAF to develop and document its large and complex enterprise architecture. DoDAF itself has become a sizable and multifaceted subject matter. This paper is an aggregation ...

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...

This paper describes how the Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) can be used for describing a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). With acceptance of NetworkCentric Warfare (NCW) and “net-centricity”, the Department of Defense (DoD) is moving towards operational and systems designs based on dynamic producer/consumer models consistent with Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). Se...

v Executive Summary This document describes Vocabulary-Driven Architecture Development, providing a process for AV-2 development of a controlled vocabulary focused on a central set of key concepts from the DoDAF v2.0 Meta Model (DM2). This central core of DM2 concepts provides a common ground across different architectures to enable architecture federation and re-use. This report also provides ...

The combination of DoDAF operational views, which capture the requirements of an architecture, and System views, which provide its technical attributes, forms the basis for semi-automated construction of simulation models. In this paper, we describe an enhanced Model-View-Controller paradigm that works in tandem with the DEVS M&S framework. We also employ the recently introduced DoDAF extension...

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...

Architecture framework (AF) is a guideline to define components needed to develop and operate enterprise architecture (EA), and to identify relationships among the components. There are many AFs to operate EA for of governments or businesses such as Zachman framework, DoDAF, TOGAF, FEAF, and TEAF. DoDAF is the most representative AF to support the development of the EA in the military domain. I...

The paper describes some challenges andpitfalls in the derivation of the executable model from the DoDAF products, especially when temporal and queuing issues are involved. The presence of ambiguities or lack of information in the architecture description may result in different modeling assumptions for the executable model being constructed. These assumptions – untraceable to the information c...
