2. 2 UML Profile for DoDAF/MODAF (UPDM) Overview OMG initiative underway to develop tool specification for representing & exchange of DODAF and MODAF products Requirements (RFP) issued Sept 05 Initial submissions received June 06 Final submissions expected Mar ‘07 Goal is to provide robust architecture modeling capability, improve communications and tool interoperability, and reduce re-training Multiple tool vendors and users participating Should leverage SysML, UML and BPMN and experience gained from existing tools DoD & UK MOD are supporting and hope to adopt!

7. 7 Motivation for UPDM UML is used extensively to represent architecture products (e.g., artifacts) across industry DoDAF v1.0 Volume II provides guidance on using UML But based on UML 1.x which has been superseded by UML 2 MODAF extends DoDAF Defined its metamodel (M3) as a profile of UML 2 But adds additional viewpoints (perspectives) NATO and other architecture frameworks further extend DoDAF and MODAF

8. 8 Goals for UPDM Significantly enhance the quality, productivity, and effectiveness associated with architecture and system of systems modeling Enable architecture model reuse and maintainability Improve tool interoperability and communications between stakeholders Reduce training impacts due to different tool implementations and semantics Develop UML Profile for DoDAF/MODAF that provides industry standard UML/SysML representation of DoDAF/MODAF architecture views

10. 10 OMG UPDM RFP Scope RFP was issued by OMG Sept. 2005 Uses DoDAF v1.0 as a baseline Incorporates MODAF’s additional views (Acquisition and Strategic views) Incorporates additional requirements from DoDAF 1.5 Supports modeling system-of-systems architectures Systems that include hardware, software, data, personnel, procedures, and facilities (DOTMLPF & MOD Lines of Development ) Service oriented architectures and net-centricity RFP page: http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?dtc/2005-09-12

11. 11 UPDM RFP Requirements - Mandatory Develop profile that specifies Metamodel (abstract syntax and constraints) UML2 Profile Notation (concrete syntax) DoDAF and MODAF artifacts Additional views and viewpoints Element taxonomy reference Data interchange

12. 12 Metamodel Defines: Key terms and definitions used in the proposed profile Concepts that are required for the description of architectures and consistent with those defined in IEEE 1471 and specific architecture frameworks (e.g., DoDAF, MODAF) Constraints on elements that ensure connectivity and integrity of the model

13. 13 SV Metamodel

14. 14 Profile & Notation Defines: The selected UML modeling elements using a standard notation Their stereotypes Additional constraints using the profiling mechanism provided by UML The relationship of notation to model elements defined by the metamodel shall be represented in tabular form

15. 15 SV-1 Example

16. 16 Views & Viewpoints DODAF/MODAF artifacts using UML/SysML New model elements using MOF QVT, when no direct diagrammatic representation is provided for individual DODAF and MODAF artifacts in UML/SysML

17. 17 Creating the SV-5: An Illustration of Exported Information The SystemThreads and SystemEventTraces placed in the OperationalActivityRealization collaboration provides the information needed for the SV-5

24. 24 Metamodel & Taxonomy- Relationship The metamodel defines Enterprise Architecture concepts The taxonomy supports the metamodel, specializing the model elements into more specific items Acts as a dictionary of terminology Allows the metamodel to be more generic system equipment platform hosts metamodel Taxonomy A system which has the capability to… weapon system A system which manages the… business system A system which manages the… HR system A system which manages the… accounts system warshipaircraft fighter bomber etc…

25. 25 Distributed Taxonomies OWL is designed for the web: Allowing references between OWL files at different locations (e.g. synonyms) Allowing one OWL file to specialise definitions in other files

26. 26 Data Exchange UML profile and meta-model enable XMI for architecture tool interoperability. Elements in the XMI exchange file may refer to relevant taxonomy definitions

27. 27 XMI for Data Exchange XML is an industry standard XMI is XML for model interchange UPDM requires XML that conforms to a model Make use of “vanilla” XMI with heavy use of stereotypes Specified by extending the UML meta model Meta Object Facility (MOF) UML Meta Model UPDM Meta Model stereotype specifications XMI for UML Stereotypes
