IES 2010 Programme 9‐11th March, One Whitehall Place, London Conference Sponsor Welcome to Integrated EA 2010 We’ve had some excellent submissions for this year’s conference, and the speaker line‐up is really top notch. We have a very strong international theme to IEA 2010 with presentations from the defence ministries of Australia, Italy, Norway, Singapore, Sweden, UK and USA. The big news for this year is that John Zachman has kindly agreed to provide a keynote address. John was an officer in the US Navy, and is always keen to support enterprise architecture efforts in defence and Government. This year’s event takes place in one of the most interesting conference venues in London with a much larger exhibition and catering area than we’ve had in previous years. This has additional exhibitors to support the conference in 2010. The registrations for this year show a healthy mix of regulars and new faces from all over the world. Clearly, travel and training restrictions in many organisations have caused the number of registrations to fall this year, but the excellent programme we’ve put together this year has attracted numbers that are better than we were predicting. My thanks go to our conference manager Penny Creed, our speakers, sponsors and exhibitors. I hope you enjoy the event. Please do fill in the feedback forms and please feel free to suggest any other topics you think we should be covering.

Abstract. Architecture frameworks continue to evolve. The Unified Profile for the Department of Defense (DoD) Architecture Framework (DoDAF) and the UK’s Ministry of Defence Architecture Framework (MODAF) (UPDM) provides a standard means of representing DoDAF, MODAF, and NATO Architecture Framework (NAF) conformant architectures using the Unified Modeling Language (UML), and Systems Modeling Language (SysML). Since the UPDM V2.0 publication, further information has emerged such as the June 2011 NATO study entitled: “Development of The AMN (Afghanistan Mission Network) Architecture In 2010 – Lessons Learned,” by Torsten Graeber of the NATO C3 Agency. This report identified the following in section 4.1-ARCHITECTURE FRAMEWORKS, sub-section 4.1.2 Observations (Need for a Unified Architecture Framework) and stated that: • differences in DoDAF, MODAF, and NAF make it difficult to match the metamodel one to one. • some of the concepts in the frameworks have the same name but different definitions, i.e. different semantics. • difficult to cross-walk the concepts between the different frameworks leads to miscommunication between architects using different frameworks. Based on the above, the NATO Architecture Capability Team (Architecture CaT) meeting on Sept. 10-11, 2012 committed to move to a single world-wide Architecture Framework.

Command is the ‘builder’ or ‘composer’ of the military organization (and its extra-military affiliations) in response to current operational needs. The commander may wish to adopt any of a variety of organizational configurations, yet is constrained to build his organization out of the existing military fabric (e.g. procedures, staff, equipment, HQ facilities). This is the architectural thesis of composition (the whole being constructed from known building blocks through the satisfaction of an architectural ruleset), being applied in the context of the command of a specific operation. Re-composition (re-build) continues in theatre in the form of Task Organization, and the ‘run-time’ behaviour of the organization are then excitations of features of the ‘built’ structure under the conditions of executing operational activities.

  • 21 ICCRTS Implementing UPDM to Develop Command and Control
    21st ICCRTS Implementing UPDM to Develop Command and Control Systems Topics Topic 7: Methodological Development, Experimentation, Analysis, Assessment and Metrics Author Rudolph Oosthuizen (CSIR, South Africa; [email protected]) Cobus Venter (CSIR, South Africa; [email protected]) Point of Contact Rudolph Oosthuizen (CSIR, South Africa; [email protected]) Name of Organization: Council for Scientific and Industrial Research PO Box 395 Pretoria 0001 [email protected] 1 Implementing UPDM to Develop Command and Control Systems Abstract Systems engineering is an established approach to develop systems, including complex sociotechnical systems such as Command and Control (C2) systems. These systems often occur through the introduction of a new technology into an existing system. In systems engineering, modelling is applied to capture and represent the mental models of the systems’ stakeholders during the concept development stage. These models, consisting of various views on the system structure and behaviour, can be used to derive requirements for system development. The views of the models must represent the mental model of the originator as well as ensure that the interpreters develop the same understanding. An architectural frameworks, such as the Ministry of Defence Architecture Framework (MoDAF) and Department of Defence Architecture Framework (DoDAF), supports Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). The Unified Profile for DODAF and MoDAF (UPDM) supports development of the model to ensure transportability to other participants in the development process. This paper proposes a model development process within UPDM for a C2 system during concept development. 1 Introduction Systems engineering aims to solve problems by bringing systems into being through systems thinking for understanding the part in the context of the whole (Hitchins 2008, Stensson 2010).

  • Model-Based System of Systems Engineering with UPDM
    Model- Based System of Systems Engineering with UPDM Matthew Hause Atego Eagle Tower Suite 701 Cheltenham, Glos, GL50 1TN England [email protected] Copyright © 2010 by Matthew Hause. Published and used by INCOSE with permission. Abstract. The Unified Profile for DoDAF and MODAF, (UPDM) initiative was started by members of INCOSE and the OMG. UPDM provides a consistent, standardized means to describe DoDAF 1.5 and MODAF 1.2 architectures in SysML/UML-based tools as well as a standard for interchange. The concepts found in the Systems Modeling Language (SysML) such as parametrics, blocks, complex ports, enhanced activity modeling, and cross-cutting constructs improve the state of the art for systems engineers and architects. The formal meta-model basis of UPDM also provides a basis for trade-off analysis, model execution, requirements traceability, and the transition to systems development and implementation. Finally, the interconnections between views can help combat stovepipe development and improve communication. This paper looks at the current direction of UPDM, how it is improving the state of the art for system architects, and enables interchange of architectural information. We will also examine some of the latest concepts found in DoDAF 2.0 and how the UPDM Group is addressing these. INTRODUCTION What is a Military Architectural Framework? Arguably, the two most widely used military frameworks are the Department of Defense (DoD) Architecture Framework (DoDAF) in the USA and the Ministry of Defence (MOD) Architecture Framework (MODAF) in the UK. Military Architectural Frameworks such as DoDAF define a standard way to organize an enterprise architecture (EA) or systems architecture into complementary and consistent views.

    Jukka Anteroinen National Defence University Department of Military Technology Series 1: Publication No. 33 Enhancing the Development of Military Capabilities by a Systems Approach The political environment of security and defence has changed radically in the Western industrialised world since the Cold War. As a response to these changes, since the beginning of the twen- Enhancing the Development of Military Capabilities by a Systems Approach ty-first century, most Western countries have adopted a ‘capabil- Enhancing the Development of Military ities-based approach’ to developing and operating their armed forces. More responsive and versatile military capabilities must be Capabilities by a Systems Approach developed to meet the contemporary challenges. The systems ap- proach is seen as a beneficial means of overcoming traps in resolv- ing complex real-world issues by conventional thinking. Jukka Anteroinen The doctoral dissertation of Commander G.S, M.Sc. (SED) Jukka Anteroinen explores and assesses the means to enhance the de- velopment of military capabilities both in concept development and experimentation (CD&E) and in national defence materiel col- laboration issues. This research provides a unique perspective, a systems approach, to the development areas of concern in resolv- ing complex real-world issues. Furthermore, this dissertation seeks to increase the understanding of the military capability concept both as a whole and within its life cycle. This dissertation makes contribution to current studies about mili- tary capability. It presents two interdependent conceptual capa- bility models: the comprehensive capability meta-model and the holistic capability life cycle model. These models holistically and systematically complement the existing, but still evolving, under- standing of military capability and its life cycle.
