Eurostep Limited –Consulting company based in UK, part of Eurostep Group operating in UK, Sweden, Finland and USA Eurostep Sweden commercial product Web-enabled PLM system –Typical Customers : BAE SYSTEMS, UK MoD, Volvo, NASA/JPL, Boeing, FMV, AstraZeneca, John Deere –Decades of experience in ISO STEP and OMG standards –Decades of industrial experience in Aerospace, Ship Classification, Logistics Support, PLM, Mechanical Engineering, … –Related projects SEDRES 2 PLCS Consortium Project and Technical Coordination ISO STEP AP239/PLCS and AP233/SysEng modeling SysML submission team member

® Eurostep.ESUKPC v0.1©Copyright Eurostep Limited Project Focus Based on white paper describing DoDAF, SysML and AP233 standards for System-of-systems and Systems Engineering –Using Systems Engineering Standards In an Architecture Framework by Ian Bailey, Eurostep, Fatma Dandashi and Huei-Wan Ang, Mitre Corp, and Dwayne Hardy, American Systems Corp Influenced by INCOSE, ISO STEP and OMG communities

® Eurostep.ESUKPC v0.1©Copyright Eurostep Limited Walkthrough of Mapping Documentation Document as a Web site in the style of a programmers guide –Audience Audience is software developers No previous knowledge of AP233 is required UML diagrams and XML Schemas used to explain how to write a converter –Approach Develop standalone AP233 document that is independent of DoDAF/CADM mapping Develop document for each DoDAF View and “link” into the AP233 document Makes the AP233 documentation reusable for a similar project on SysML, MoDAF, etc.

® Eurostep.ESUKPC v0.1©Copyright Eurostep Limited Resulting Tool Interoperability CADM-AP233 interoperability creates a new path into DoDAF for: –UML/SysML tool vendors –Non-UML tool vendors –Other military AFs UK MoDAF Enterprise Reference Model CADM-AP233 interoperability creates a capability to feed DoDAF data down the systems life cycle via other STEP APs –e.g. AP239/Product Life Cycle Support for Support Engineering, Maintenance, Logistics, etc.

® Eurostep.ESUKPC v0.1©Copyright Eurostep Limited Recommended Next Steps Release current software and documentation as open source –With DoD approval, Eurostep will post results as open-source project to which anyone can contribute Evaluate possibility of validating results in CADM testing forum Consider expanding CADM-AP233 to cover additional views –Suggest priority aligned with SysML to build on momentum SysML 1.0 release planned for June 05, consider doing a similar project for SysML-AP233 –SysML partners have prototyping plans

® Eurostep.ESUKPC v0.1©Copyright Eurostep Limited Where might we go from here? Interoperability can be provided through an open- source set of software tools reducing barriers for everyone –The XML community has been very successful at this Ideas for the information technology –High Level API specified as UML and delivered in multiple programming languages (e.g. Java, C++, C#) –Direct converters for other standard formats (e.g. XMI) –Web services and interoperability hubs on Web

® Eurostep.ESUKPC v0.1©Copyright Eurostep Limited AP233 approach Standardize flexible, extensible information model in ISO –Independent of any tool or modelling approach Can represent UML, IDEF and non-standard tool languages –Extension via a “classification by external class” concept within the information model itself makes AP233 suitable as a neutral data exchange standard for Systems Engineering data leaves room for communities or organizations to tailor AP233 use for specific needs –Designed for data exchange, not for operational system or repository Fewer semantics and rules written into the information model Breaks concepts down to relatively fine level of detail to support a variety of tools/disciplines

® Eurostep.ESUKPC v0.1©Copyright Eurostep Limited DoDAF/CADM External Classes

® Eurostep.ESUKPC v0.1©Copyright Eurostep Limited AP233 is modular AP233 is one of the new suite of STEP modular APs –A STEP module is a small, reusable information model from which the larger Application Protocols are created –So, if AP233 doesn’t quite cover something it can be extended by incorporating or creating other small STEP information models

® Eurostep.ESUKPC v0.1©Copyright Eurostep Limited AP233 Systems Engineering AP233 is the Systems Engineering part of the new suite of ISO STEP Application Protocols built from modules –Shared constructs guarantee interoperability between disciplines such as Systems Engineering, Product Life Cycle Support and Configuration Controlled Design Defines a formal, strict information model –intended to prevent ambiguity when used for exchange between engineering systems As part of STEP, AP233 links to standards with a vast scope
