NDIA SE Division – Annual Planning Meeting December 12-13, Architecture Committee Task Plan Proposed 2013 Tasks: Complete DoDAF Recommendations Report Validation of recommended metrics Investigate an addendum to SE Effectiveness Survey on architecture subjects (both DoDAF and metrics) Possibilities: How to use arch earlier in trade space? Encourage papers in area of Model- based for X and arch for soldiers UAF awareness SoS Pain Points Deliverables/Products DoDAF Recommendations Final Report Survey Results (if pursued) Schedule / Resources Continue bi-weekly virtual meetings Face-to-face meetings, aligned with SE Division meetings Architecture Track at SE Conference Complete DoDAF Report by mid 2013 Issues / Concerns: Time availability of contributing committee members

NDIA SE Division – Annual Planning Meeting December 12-13, Architecture Metrics Appeal to Architecture WG 12/18/2013 – no responses to date “Please consider helping us validate [proposed architecture measures] by providing feedback as follows: “Are you already using any of them (please identify)? How do they help your programs make decisions specifically about the architecture, and more generally about the program? “For any that you use, please provide feedback regarding: -Difficulty in using (level of effort, ease/difficulty in using, clarity, consistency) -Perceived benefit as lagging or leading indicator -Perceived benefit for near-term and long-term decision making. “What architecture-related measures are you using that are not included in this table, how are they used, and how do they provide benefit?” 4

NDIA SE Division – Annual Planning Meeting December 12-13, Summary of Proposed Architecture Measures and Means* Measurement CategoryProposed MeasuresDefinition/DescriptionMeans Size / StabilityNumber of elements Count of constituent parts to be bought or developed, at each architectural level vs. time (stability) Report of number of classes, objects, logical elements vs. time Size / Stability / ComplexityNumber of external interfacesCount of logical and physical interfaces vs. time Report of number of external interfaces to each element vs. time. Size / Stability / Complexity Number of external relationships Count of organizational relationships (stakeholders) vs. time Report of number of program interfaces vs. time. Size / StabilityNumber of requirements Count of requirements at each architectural level vs. time Report of number of requirements by element and/or architectural level vs. time. Complexity / StabilityNumber of internal interfacesCount of logical and physical interfaces vs. timeReport of number of interfaces to each element vs. time. Complexity / StabilityNumber of interactionsTransaction types or messages, frequency vs. time Report of number of unique messages or other exchanges among two or more elements at lowest architectural level available. ComplexityNumber of statesCount of number of defined states and/or modesReport of number of defined states and/or modes CompletenessRequirements addressed Count of number of top-level requirements addressed by the architecture Report of number of top-level requirements that are addressed by the architecture (traced to architecture element) CompletenessArtifacts produced Count of number of architecture artifacts (e.g., viewpoints) produced vs. time Report of number of architecture artifacts completed, by type CompletenessArtifacts total expected Count of number of architecture artifacts (e.g., viewpoints) needed vs. time Report of number of architecture artifacts needed, by type Quality of solution Degree of requirements satisfaction Count of number of requirements satisfied, normalized by the number of requirements Report of ratio of number of requirements that are satisfied by the architecture to number of requirements (derived measure) Quality of solution Degree of Mission Assurance (suitability) User/program-defined multivariate function of weighted suitability attributes. Derived measure from base measures of individual attributes or surrogates above required thresholds. Quality of representation Degree of consistency of representation User/program defined measure of adherence to internal standards or templates (data content and format), by artifact vs. time Report of missing data per artifact; analysis of format conformance to templates Quality of representation Degree of standards compliance Measures of adherence to external standards(data content and format), by artifact vs. time Report of missing data per artifact; analysis of format conformation to standards 5 *Carson and Kohl draft paper for INCOSE

NDIA SE Division – Annual Planning Meeting December 12-13, System Development Performance Measurement Working Group From Al Brown (Chair): “The work of the System Development Performance Measurement Working Group is completed with the publication of their final report with no specific indicator recommendation at this time for Architecture.” 6

NDIA SE Division – Annual Planning Meeting December 12-13, INCOSE Model-Based SE Workshop Presentations at _ _2013 Emphasis on open services lifecycle collaboration (OSLC) for managing model data in federated architectures throughout the lifecycleOSLC Recognition that SysML isn’t the only modeling language Need for tools that interface among databases (e.g., SLIM) Implementation of STEP standards for data exchanges (AP233 (ISO10303 Part 433)) Consideration of PLM tools for variant management 7
