07 July 2004FSS Project12 The domain user requirements will be served by an architecture that is: Service Oriented Component Based and by processes that are: Requirements Driven Evaluation Steered The Connected World Mindset Need to understand the problem domain that encompasses the three frameworks and create a unifying architecture. This demands a model driven approach

07 July 2004FSS Project18 The 3 Data Types

07 July 2004FSS Project19 The Repository Layers  Layering represents an ordered grouping of functionality, with the application-specific located in the upper layers, functionality that spans application domains in the middle layers, and functionality specific to the deployment environment at the lower layers.  The number and composition of layers is dependent upon the complexity of both the problem domain and the solution space. For example, the collection of technical patterns, utilities and mechanisms is separated out as a layer. Based on RUP Guidelines
