Being used by single companies and by coalitions of governments at the same time, Architecture Frameworks have spread widely as a key tool for the enablement of the Model Based Systems Engineering approach. The Unified Architecture Framework, promoted by the Object Management Group, is rapidly emerging as the reference framework to describe Enterprise Architecture, providing a standard representation for both defense and non‐defense organizations’ architecture descriptions. The work described in the present paper concerns the implementation of a simplified meta‐model, derived as a tailoring of the Unified Architecture Framework's full meta‐model, aimed at allowing the usage of the UAF for the description of System Architectures, rather than Enterprise Architectures. The main UAF View Domains concerned with Systems having the characteristics of Systems‐of‐Systems (Operational, Strategic and Resources), will be analyzed and a solution will be shown to allow a simple implementation of SysML models, as an architectural description of such Systems. A study case will also be presented, developed as a joint effort of Leonardo and Aster for the modeling of naval Combat Systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
