Service Oriented Approach JAFE: a Joint architecture federation environment Howard cohen (Booz Allen Hamilton) Matthew Sutton (Booz Allen Hamilton)

MISSION  The Joint Integrated Architectures and Systems Engineering Division (J89) mission is to support architecture development, analysis, capability assessments and portfolio management to enable speed, agility and well-informed decision making through rapid availability and re-use of architectures. (Gen. Kennedy, USJFCOM J8, April 2010) VISION  "An operations officer is in the field and has been assigned a new battalion to their forces. The officer calls up the appropriate federated data, modifies the view dynamically with the new resources and dynamically re-builds the view, re-tasks the resources, simulates it and generates all the appropriate operations orders on the fly." "That is my vision." (SES Martin Westphal, USJFCOM J8F, March 2010)

 Federation of Architecture Data (Data Sharing)  Way to Expose Data(Visibility)  Access to Validated Architecture Products (Discoverability)  Connection and Traceability (common lexicons)  Operational Context (Understandability)  Joint Mission Threads  Virtual Development Environment  Teaming 4

The Joint Architecture Federation Environment Project Present

Necessary to solve the right problems for warfighters Information visible, accessible, reusable, & understandable Re-use will reduce time of delivery Standardization of processes 5 Purpose is to support decision makers by enabling the speed and agility of well-informed decision making through rapid availability and re-use of architectures

 Goals:  Establish the capability to discover authoritative data in federated Joint and/or Service repositories  Leverage partnerships with mature DoD architecture development efforts in order to maximize use of existing resources and re-use of architecture data  Provide the framework, standards and governance for a federated, joint, architecture information sharing and development environment

 Top Down Systems Engineering Approach  Virtual Teaming  Geographically and organizationally dispersed members  Three Part Integration  Application Enterprise Construction  Developing Requirements, DoDAF Views, Business Process and System Models  Scope of Work – WBS and task breakdown governance  Integration Consideration – exchange and interoperate with many sources

J89 Created a Virtual Enterprise. The term virtualization broadly describes the separation of a resource or request for a service from the underlying physical delivery of that service.
