MoDAF & UML

A Winning Combination!


Who Are We…?

• UK company• Solutions for the analysis and design of complex

systems– Facilitating better design and reuse– Team communication– Improving process and productivity

• Technology Focus– Unified Modelling Language (UML)– SysML– Architecture Frameworks– MDA


Where Are We…?

• Key market is Aerospace and Defence• Customers include majority of leading

international defence contractors• Our tools are in use for

– Architectural modelling (DODAF)– Systems Engineering– Software Engineering


Why use UML for Architectural Frameworks?

UML 2.0

The Unified Modelling Language (UML) is fast becoming the de facto standard for modelling software intensive systems.


UML 2.0

SysML

The UML was limited in its ability to fully capture Systems Engineering concepts.

The Systems Modelling Language (SysML) hasaddressed this issue (Physical Assemblies, Requirements, Parametric Constraints, etc.)

Tailoring UML for AFAn Extensible Language Domain

• A stereotype is a semantic extension to an existing model-element.– Additional properties are associated with

stereotypes as Tag Definitions.• A coherent collection of stereotypes

constitutes a profile. (As seen here, an example DoDAF Profile).

• If the UML or SysML do not allow you to express your ideas, then extend the language to capture your specialist terminology.


Tailoring UML for AFAn Extensible Language Domain

• Icons are then associated with the stereotypes to make them more meaningful to a user.

• When the stereotype is applied to a model-element (in the browser), the model-element can inherit the same icon as the stereotype.



• Standardised Notation.– Facilitating communication amongst many disciplines.– Supports Business, Systems and Software modelling.

• Provides multiple perspectives for modelling: – Static Architectures (Physical & Logical)– Dynamic Architectures (Physical & Logical)– Constraints (Functional, Non-Functional &

Requirements)• Consistency & Traceability

– From ‘vanilla’ UML & SysML but also from profile-based consistency checks and traceability links.

• XMI Interchange (an OMG standard)– Leverages tool interoperability (e.g. for performance

modelling, capability assessment & trade-off etc.)

Model Existing Assets

Partitioning the model into packages helps:

• Allocate work areas/stakeholder responsibility. Who can access the integrated dictionary?

• Identifying reusable components for future projects. Existing assets are inherently reusable – although may not be interoperable!?



Properties of assets can beinherited from an abstractasset (e.g. ‘In-Service Date’). Alternatively unique properties can be added to the asset (e.g. ‘Ferry Range’)



Capturing allocation of assemblies. For example which squadrons haveNimrod MR2 Aircraft and how many.



Model the decomposition of the MR2and capture its interfaces and IO Flows.

Conclusion


Why use SysML & UML forArchitecture Frameworks?

• UML is a Standardised Notation.– Provides multiple perspectives for modelling. – Consistency & Traceability.– Can be extended to encompass specific nomenclatures.– XMI Interchange (an OMG standard).

• ARTiSAN Studio– Proven & scalable development environment

• From Systems to auto-generated software.• For complex Systems & Software.
