modify reference to UML 2.3 to UML 2.4.1

  • Key: UPDMRTF-52
  • Status: open  
  • Source: International Business Machines ( Graham Bleakley)
  • Summary:

    UML2.3 should be changed to UML 2.4.1unless there is inevitable reason, since UML2.4.1 has been standardized as IS.

    Response:- At the time the standard was published UML 2.3 was the current version of UML. A change to UML 2.4.1 would invalidate the references to UML in the XMI resulting in a major change to the standard. It is envisaged that a major release i.e. UPDM 3.0 aka UAF 1 would update the references to the latest versions of UML and SysML available.

    6.2.1 Intended Audience
    This specification will be of interest to end users, military, industrial and commercial, who expect to use this profile, and to tool vendors interested in developing tool support for the development of enterprise and system of systems architectures.
    Section 6.2.2 Organization of this specification
    DoDAF and MODAF are formally expressed as domain-specific meta-models known as the DoDAF Meta Model (DM2) and the MODAF Meta Model (M3) respectively, this provides the foundation for the UPDM domain metamodel and profile. There is also a set of viewpoints and views that address the concerns of a well-defined set of stakeholders. This specification organizes the presentation of the UPDM 2.1 abstract and concrete syntax around the meta-models, with effort made to establish a maximum set of common Core models and a minimum set of DoDAF DM2 or MODAF M3 specific models. Significant effort has also been made to continue to support the now over 50 viewpoints that can be derived from these meta-models as well as "user-defined views". This allows tool-vendors to specify views, based upon a common metamodel that are more applicable to industrial and commercial concerns than just military, it also ensures that the discussion is well-connected to the domain experts required to produce these views. (See Section 1.5 for a more detailed description.)"The rest of this document contains the technical content of this specification. As background for this specification, readers may wish to review the UML, OMG SysML, and SoaML specifications that complement this specification.

    The DMM is intended to be informative and was used to develop an understanding of the foundational concepts from which the UPDM profile evolved. It remains useful for understanding the architectural concepts required to implement UPDM. It is expected that UML and SysML tool vendors who implement UPDM would implement this profile rather than the DMM; however, it is possible non-UML tool vendors may wish to implement UPDM in their by tool by following the DMM.

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Syntell AB ( Mr Lars-Olof Kihlstrom)
  • Summary:

    Currently UPDM does not map a numer of elements that exist in DM2, namely those above the Type level, for example CapabilityType since UML does not support elements at higher type levels. There is however a possibility of doing this by recognising that a set of capabilities (as an example) contains a given capability instance but capability categoreis are really a larger subset of available capabilities. This would make it possible by allowing the elements to contain a tagged value that indicates whether they are to be considered at a higher type level. This would make it possible to provide a mapping between more DM2 elements and UPDM elements than currently possible. It is assumed that a tagged value would be easier to handle than the introduction of additional stereotypes since categories would imply elements with different stereotypes inheriting from one another.

For the port used on the ResourceRole there would also be a need to indicate how many instances of the actualServiceInterface that the ResourceRole would need to accomodate, at least if a complete mapping to between MODAF and UPDM is to be achieved. (All of this actually exists already as part of the MODAF model that UPDM is supposed to implement).

UPDM bridges the gap from setting of requirements to high level system design and to visualization for practitioners. While designed in the context of military organisations and their procurement processes, UPDM can also be applied in entirely civilian industrial and service organisation contexts.”

    DoDAF 2 contains rules that indicate that superSubtype relationships can be formed between any type elements of the same kind. The same rule applies for wholePart (betwen individuals of the same type) and WholePartType (between types of the same kind). In UPDM terms this would correspond to Generalization as well as property handling. There are not enough stereotypes defined within UPDM 2 to allow these rules to be followed. This either needs to be rectified or a general statement made within UPDM that allows the use of the appropriate UML relationships to accomplish this.

PIM Logical Service Specification

  • Key: UPDMRTF-12
  • Legacy Issue Number: 18577
  • Status: open  
  • Source: General Dynamics ( Kent Laursen)
  • Summary:

    An import use of architecture is to provide sufficient information to guide the design and implementation that realizes the architecture in the actual solution space. By definition, architecture dictates neither the design nor the implementation that realizes it, though this boundary is often blurred to a certain degree by a particular organizations methodology or pragmatic need of a projects.

    As SOA is an a widely employed architectural pattern where by systems interact with each other, it would seem important that the expression of SOA in UPDM be fit for purpose, sufficiently accurate and information complete to reduce the conceptual gap between architecture and design+implementation. Further, the rendering or specification of SOA interfaces and used datatypes should be sufficiently fine grained to allow such possibilities as:

    Transformation into constructs used in design and implementation workflows, e.g. Code Skeletons, XML Schema, etc.

    Supporting the expression of test cases and declarative expressions of architectural instrumentation for such purposes as monitoring and analytics.

    In this particular issue we focus on the SvcV-1 and SvcV-2, which would be the natural place to specify the actual SOA related elements. The following diagram provides a context from an external, classifier derived perspective.

    Focusing on the services themselves, the diagram below shows an intended

    The SvcV-1 that illustrate the specification down to the actual operations is shown in the following diagram

    The issue submitter acknowledges that there are arguably some other ways to represent services, given such constructs as ServiceFunction, etc., but the method depicted above “feels” more accurate and aligned with downstream design and implementation, especially in the context of UML that might be used by teams independent of UPDM.

    In conclusion, the issue submitter, along with project colleagues, wish to have a useful set of mechanisms/metamodel constructs that allow the expression on services, their interactions and the flow of data between them at the PIM/Logical level using, logical data captured as EntityItem that details conceptual data captured as ExchangeElement. This would allow direct traceablity from conceptual interchange expressed at the OV level with how it is addressed at the SV level. In simpler terms, when two activities exchange information at the business process level, we can easily find how this conceptual interaction is realized as SOA services. Once establishing this in the model we can then hand it off to design and implementation workflows in a more accurate, traceable and useful architectural specification form. Significantly, such and architecture might prove much more fit-for-purpose for model related practices, transformations and automations involving the instrumentation, simulation and observation of the architecture in its solution realized forms. Also tests might be expressed more tightly.

    Resolution:
    Part of the resolution would be related to the fact that and ExchangeElement is subtyped from ResourceInteractionItem whereas EntityItem is subtyped from Class. The result is that a logical data structure captured as an EntityItem cannot be the conveyed item in a ResourceInteraction. We would either need to revise the metamodel related to ResoureInteractionItem or add some new construct, say something like DataInteractionItem and DataInteraction that could be used to express the flow of logical data, which the issue submitter models using EntityItem in DIV-2 package structures.

    On the profile diagram below, one can observe the absence of EntityItem

    There are related traceablity issues that will the subject of further submissions, however, this submission focuses on the essential part of expressing the set of SOA ports, interfaces and data flows in an architecture.

    As shown in Figure 8.127 for CapabilityConfiguration to PhysicalArchitecture and Figure 8.130 for PhysicalArchitecture to SystemResource and in Figure 8.178 for System to ResourceArtifact, Figure 8.132 for ResourceArtifact to PhysicalResource, Figure 8.131 for PhysicalResource to SystemResource, one can see that System and PhysicalArchitecture are sibling concepts.

    Now, FieldedCapability has this constraint: "Value for the classifier property must be stereotyped «CapabilityConfiguration» or its specializations." (see Page 172)

    The consequence of this is that a self-contained System cannot be the Classifier of a FieldedCapability. That is, a FieldedCapability cannot be an instance of a System.

    I claim that it is convenient to be able to specify that a FieldedCapability is an instance of a self-contained System. Having to model a separate CapabilityConfiguration to wrap just the System so that one can instantiate a FieldedCapability that is an instance of the System seems onerous.

    The recommended remedy is to allow a System to be a proper CapabilityConfiguration in addition to being a property of a CapabilityConfiguration.

UPDM DoDAF lacks a concept for Service Orchestration

  • Key: UPDMRTF-16
  • Legacy Issue Number: 18688
  • Status: open  
  • Source: InterCAX ( Mr. Lonnie VanZandt)
  • Summary:

    Of the available DoDAF Service concepts, neither ServiceAccess nor ServiceDescription is an adequate concept for expressing collaborations of multiple Services such as one does in a SOA ServiceArchitecture.

    The lack of a concept like HighLevelOperationalConcept, say "ServicesOrchestration" or "ServicesCollaboration", for the SvcV-1 makes it difficult in UPDM DoDAF to model SOA Service Architectures. One has to borrow an instance of concept called "ServiceAccess"-which is poorly named and which suggests the means of accessing a single entity-and then claim that the borrowed ServiceAccess instance is really only an abstraction for representing a particular instance of an orchestration of multiple Services. One names it with its type as, say, "Service Orchestration for Situation X : ServiceAccess", and then uses its StructuredClassifier and its BehavioredClassifier natures in order to draw the orchestration of multiple ServiceAccess properties just as one uses UML's composite structures metamodel to model similar collaborations for Highlevel Operational Concepts, Systems Internal Interface Descriptions for systems collaboration in CapabilityConfigurations, SysML IBDs, and etc.

    ServiceDescription is a derivation of ArchitectureDescription that is, itself, an extension of Package. The intended purpose of ServiceDescription is for the documentation of the purpose and of the elements of a Service. Because of this documentary intention and because Package is not intended to be a suitable metaclass for the modeling of composition hierarchies, ServiceDescription, too, is not appropriate for the concept here called "ServicesCollaboration".

    Recommendation: either add <<SOAML::ServiceArchitecture [Collaboration]>> directly into UPDM or add <<UPDM::ServicesCollaboration [Class]>> to UPDM so that one can model Services in Composite hierarchies like they can model conceptually similar collections of parts in contexts in other notations.

Need of Logical and Physical Services

  • Status: open

  • Summary:

    In UPDM we are missing capability to differentiate between Logical and Physical Services. Note that this capability is already supported in DoDAF. It is also supported in other frameworks such as TOGAF etc.
    In UPDM it is mixed up and not clear enough what kind of services we are allowing to define. If we use services in SVs, we suppose to have physical services. If we are using services in OVs, we suppose to have Logical (Business) services. Having a normal logical/physical pattern we are already using in UPDM, we should be able to have traces between the two. Unfortunately we cannot differentiate between logical and physical services. It implies we cannot have two different levels of details when we are dealing with services. And we are forced to do services in either Operational or System viewpoint, but not in both.
    UPDM should:
    • Enable user to model logical services
    • Enable user to model physical services
    • Allow traces between logical and physical services
    • Provide means to integrate logical services to OVs

Future Increments of UPDM should not preclude using SBVR for Modeling Vocabularies and Rules

  • Key: UPDMRTF-15
  • Legacy Issue Number: 18686
  • Status: open  
  • Source: InterCAX ( Mr. Lonnie VanZandt)
  • Summary:

    SBVR, the Semantics of Business Vocabularies and Business Rules, provides a formal logical foundation for the expression of enterprise ontologies and rule constraints applicable to enterprise elements. SBVR also offers informative, non-normative notations for these vocabularies and rules.

    Future increments of UPDM (i.e. UAFP v1) should not preclude an enterprise architect from using SBVR and its metaclass elements for the expression of ontologies and rules within their UPDM (to be known as UAFP) models.

    These enterprise ontologies and enterprise rules appear throughout a traditional UPDM architecture description in the structural elements of the respective views (e.g. Performers, Operational Activities, Systems, Services, etc) and in the constraints on those elements.

ProjectSequence is too Restrictive

  • Key: UPDMRTF-19
  • Legacy Issue Number: 18718
  • Status: open  
  • Source: InterCAX ( Mr. Lonnie VanZandt)
  • Summary:

    According to the definition of ProjectSequence, "MODAF: Asserts that one ActualProject (MODAF::Project) follows from another - i.e. the target ActualProject cannot start until the source ActualProject has ended. DoDAF: NA".

    The restriction "...cannot start until the source ActualProject has ended..." precludes practical project management.

    In practice, projects can have a partial ordering yet not be strictly sequential. Projects can overlap each other in time, occurring partially contemporaneously.

    One sees, in a common tool such as Microsoft Project, the ability to specify Start to Start, Finish to Finish, Start to Finish, and Finish to Start offsets.

    Recommended Remedy: Enhance Project Sequencing to support SS, FF, SF, and FS offsets between prior and next ActualProjects. The kind of offset and the duration of the offset would each be Tag Values of ProjectSequence.

PV1 (DoDAF) Attributes Needed

  • Legacy Issue Number: 18509
  • Status: open  
  • Source: omg.org ( OMG System User)
  • Summary:

    In the current DoDAF Project Viewpoints (PV1) the project element has a start date and an end date. Those attributes are not sufficient for the US JCIDS process. In the incremental development process described by JCIDS, we have increments, blocks and spirals. In the main we don't measure our programs in absolute start and stop dates but rather where they fall in the relative JCIDS process, priority and lifecycle. Start dates are usefull but with a 20-30 year lifecylce, the stop date is not as useful. Having these attributes (increment:string, block: int and spiral:int) in the Project Element would allow us to trace requirements and capability sets to the proper increment, block or spiral.

MapsToCapability relationship is too Restrictive, and ActivityPartOfCapability is redundant

  • Key: UPDMRTF-21
  • Legacy Issue Number: 18738
  • Status: open  
  • Source: MITRE ( Dr. Fatma Dandashi)
  • Summary:

    There is a constraint stated in Figure A.30 of the dtc/12-12-17 specification such that in MODAF (and therefore NAF), the MapsToCapability relationship is precluded from using OperationalActivities and is prescribed to only use StandardOperationalActivities.
    This has resulted in defining another relationship in the spec called ActivityPartOfCapability for DODAF, that creeps into MODAF and NAF in vendor implementations, to allow one to associate an activity with a capability for the purposes of generating traceability diagrams and for generating NPV-2: Program to Capability Mapping (through Activity is part of project, and Activity is part of Capability). There is no need for both and it is redundant and a possible source of model inconsistencies to request the architect to define both MapsToCapability and another called ActivityPartOfCapability. Further, the MODAF constraint to use only StandardOperationalActivities when mapping to capabilities for the purposes of (MODAF policy?) can be accommodated in another manner.

CV6, CV-7 and NSOV-3

  • Key: UPDMRTF-24
  • Legacy Issue Number: 18741
  • Status: open  
  • Source: MITRE ( Dr. Fatma Dandashi)
  • Summary:

    In UPDM it seems that the Service to OperationalActivity matrix is non-editable. The relations are established after one creates capability to OpAct relations and capability to service relations (in CV-6 and CV-7/NSOV-3 respectively). This may be how it is explained in DODAF/ MODAF? (no direct relation between ServiceInterface and OperationalActivity:

    But it is not how it should be. Here is why: CV-7 is useful when considering how services that may already be available (internally to subject architecture scope, or provided by third party entities) can be leveraged to enable the required capabilities. However, a true model-based approach to capability development and analysis will include an operational view model that further delineates the capability (stated as a term and a definition) and describes the ways and means needed or provided to enable the capability. Such an analysis usually uncovers issues with the defined capability taxonomy such as overlapping or non-mutually exclusive capabilities, and will lead to a better formulation of the capability taxonomy. The operational model is also used as a guide to develop or identify needed services in a service model. Thus, it is good SE discipline not to try and develop CV-7 starting with two sets of taxonomies, one for capabilities and another for services, without conducting the necessary modelling of operational and service artifacts needed, conducting the analysis, and “discovering” the relationships between capabilities and the services needed to enable them. So I propose that the order is like this:
    1. develop a Capability taxonomy (CV-2);
    2. develop Operational views (especially the behavior diagrams)
    3. iterate on capability taxonomy and op behavior until one is somewhat satisfied that the capability taxonomy and operational elements (as modeled) are consistent and capabilities are well delineated. At this time a CV-6, (Capabilities x Operational Activities) matrix may be generated;
    4. develop a service view model that supports the operational model and evaluate the ability of the enterprise to offer each Capability and make a Build versus Buy/Outsource decision. Some more iterations on elements in CV, OV, and SOV may take place again, especially as the services taxonomy and service orchestration diagrams are developed. That is, the service model may cause Operational Activities as well as capability taxonomy to change again. Once things stabilize, an SvcV-5/NSOV-3 (Services x Operational Activities) matrix may be generated;
    a. For those Capabilities that will continue to use existing systems within the Enterprise, model their As-Is Systems Views;
    b. For those that are to be Built, or are to be Bought, model the the Services Views to identify (conduct an analysis on what is available within and outside enterprise), and identify the contractual Service-Level Agreements and indicate the Service orchestration with the Enterprise's Performers.
    i. For services to be built, proceed to detail in systems view
    ii. For services to be outsourced stop detail here (services view) but show they are used in systems view (via service request interfaces for system components.
    5. when one feels that the operational and services models satisfy the updated capability taxonomy, one can generate (from the relationships already established), the Capabilities x Services (CV-7) matrix
    6. Develop Systems Views and then map (system) Functions to Services and Functions to Operational Activities.

    Profile then defines the following: (this is probably true for all elements that are aliases).

    Using generalization in this manner means that vendor implementations allow one to use both System as well as ResourceArtifact in the same model, regardless if one is using DoDAF or MODAF. System is an alias for MODAF’s ResourceArtifact in DODAF only. That is, System should not be available as a choice in MODAF/NAF. More importantly: generalization is really not the best UML construct to implement aliasing. If you choose System in NAF, you will not be able to use composition and aggregation relationships on SV-1. One should be able to use System in exactly the same manner as a ResourceArtifact, especially the a

Profile and Tooling should enforce the Proper Specification of Capabilities

  • Key: UPDMRTF-37
  • Status: open  
  • Source: InterCAX ( Mr. Lonnie VanZandt)
  • Summary:

    It would help if the tools flagged or restricted Capability definition to encourage the definition of:

    • Effects and metrics
    • Activities involved
    • Conditions under which conducted
    • Performer (optional – often not known during pre-MS A)
    • Desirer of the Effect (optional)

    Rationale from Dave McDaniels:

    Capabilities vs Activities. As you know, the DM2 Capability model is built about the JCIDS definition and centers around effects (resource states) that are measureable (have metrics so you can tell if they've happened) and is produced by ways (Activities) and means (Performers) under specified Conditions (i.e., PMESII, DIME). Thus they are quite a bit different from Activities which transform inputs to outputs or change their state. Many comments are being generated and much argument and rework because many CV's are missing pieces or are clearly Activities being described, not Capabilities. For example, I just turned in a comment on the IdAM RA on their CV in which they defined the Capabilities in terms of their Inputs, Controls, Outputs, and Mechanisms – ICOM – the exact prescription for Activities in IDEF0.

    Note that a PES file that did not have the required pieces and that claimed to contain CV information would fail validation. Also note the DoDAF-DM2 formulation of CV's fits the JCIDS-DAS-SE processes by linking ICD threshold and objective attributes and CDD/CPD KPP/KSA/OSA to the CV's and to the T&E process by aligning the architecture and JCIDS documents to test metrics. This method was also designed to allow flow down of operational metrics (MOEs) to SV/SvcV (e.g., SV-7) metrics (MOPs). It also aligns with training since UJTL tasks have measure types (several defined per task), UJTLs map to JCAs, and JCAs are the organizing construct for ICD attributes and are also required in CDD/CPD. There are probably many other elements of architecture and systems engineering that align by defining Capabilities the way we did in DoDAF. DoD CIO A&I and Joint Staff J6 are in very close agreement on all this.

AV-2 Definitions need Authoritative Source property and Tooling to enforce its Use

  • Key: UPDMRTF-38
  • Status: open  
  • Source: InterCAX ( Mr. Lonnie VanZandt)
  • Summary:

    A tool that is DoDAF conformant should encourage the user to fill in the Authoritative Source field whenever they define a new architecture element (AV-2). The Authoritative Source should provide specific locator for the source of the term and definition. Multiple AS may be occur.

    Rationale from Dave McDaniels:

    Almost every JIE architecture gets a comment from JS J6 that the AV-2 is missing the Authoritative Source for the term and definition which they say is a DoDAF conformance requirement. The problem they’re really getting at is the proliferation of inconsistent AV-2 terms even in a single project like JIE, even worse across all the mission areas. The number of AV-2 terms in the WMA repository is in the tens of thousands if not more by now. Mapping, reconciling, adjudicating, etc. is impractical. Their approach is to encourage reuse of terms to encourage standardization, e.g., the Joint Common System Functions List (JCSFL), JCAs, UJTLs, … Everyone agrees but the AV-2 Authoritative Source fields remain blank – once the toothpaste is out the tube, very hard to get back in.

    Rationale
    Resolution POTENTIAL SOLUTION:If supported by MagicDraw, we should add a compartment to each of the symbols to indicate the extended element (where the extension is not shown on the diagram). Adding the extensions to all of the diagrams would make it pretty much unreadable.Andrius to confirm whether this is possible.

  • Summary:

    Fig19 - More Needed Here. Can you also add ExternalTuple (under OntologyReference), and ExternalTupleType (under ExternalType)? This is to allow references to relationships defined in the ontology. We missed this in MODAF, and is now causing us problems. Would be really great if you could fix it in UPDM. Thanks.

    Resolution It makes sense to add this as it gives us a complete mapping to IDEAS. We'll look at incorporating this into the next version of UPDM.

    the description suggests that an operational node “realises” capability,
    which tends to give a rather physical slant to nodes. In MODAF (and DoDAF) operational
    nodes are logical representations of the usage (or requirement for) capability in an
    architecture. The realising systems are shown in the SVs (in MODAF, people and
    organizations may also be part of the realisation). The physical aspect of UPDM’s
    OperationalNode is reinforced by the enumeration NodeType, which allows an
    OperationalNode to be an organization or type of organization. This is strictly against the
    rules in MODAF, and probably against the original intent of DoDAF (though CADM does
    allow it, and it is commonly found in DoDAF architectures).

    it seems inappropriate to

    forces the architect to produce two nodes – one for production and one for consumption –
    even when it is clearly the same node producing and consuming. The work done in
    developing SOA views by UK and Sweden would seem to indicate that OV-2 is not
    appropriate in a true SOA approach – most SOA orchestration approaches map the
    services to the activities that use them rather than to nodes. The nodes that produce and
    consume services can then be derived by examining the activities they perform

    this is the case, it seems strange that UPDM has not used the usual UML approach of a
    dependency. Alternatively, it could be argued that as these are classes (i.e. types of activity),

    this seems to be based on a poor understanding of DoDAF and MODAF.
    Operational Nodes are logical “actors” whose functionality may be realised (by systems in
    DoDAF, and by resources in MODAF). To have yet another level of abstraction (if that is
    what this is meant to be) seems to just add confusion. In addition, OV-1 tends to be the last
    view produced in an architecture, so it is unlikely that it will specify anything that is “later
    realised”.

  • Status: open

  • Summary:

    A direct comparison between entities within MODAF/ NAF and UPDM shows a number of distinct differences. The ones of major concern are:
    · MODAF/ NAF places all of its solution based entities within the system view something that is not the case for UPDM which presents a much more convoluted picture. This is seen as a major advantage for MODAF/ NAF in comparison.
    · MODAF/ NAF enables discussions about bandwidth and spectrum utilisation, something that is not a part of UPDM. UPDM differentiates between different types of communication systems and networks however but here the distinction between different entities is far less clear. NAF makes use of Network as an add-on to MODAF but this has primarily been included as a means of stating something in the architecture relating to spectrum and bandwidth.
    · Both in the operational views as well as system views there are a couple of entities that deal with services in UPDM. This handling is seen as very inadequate. MODAF/ NAF contain a lot more in this area than UPDM and this is considered a major issue. In UPDM it also seems unclear whether a service description/ specification is being considered or if an implementation of a service is being described.
    · The extremely large use of extensions of associations that are used by UPDM seems unnecessary and is seen as a problem.

  • Summary:

    A direct comparison between entities within MODAF/ NAF and UPDM shows a number of distinct differences. The ones of major concern are:
    · MODAF/ NAF attempts to ensure that the modelling taking place as part of the operational views is logical and it uses the concept of ProblemDomain to distinguish between entities that are inside or outside of the trade space of the architecture. This is seen as a great advantage. UPDM has no equivalent concepts and the inclusion of the Materiel entity within the Operational view diminishes the logical handling within the operational views.
    · MODAF/ NAF contains a lot more stereotypes devoted to activity handling within the model than UPDM and while certain simplifications may be possible in this area, the area is still felt to be better covered in MODAF/ NAF than in UPDM
    · UPDM does contain port handling within the operational views, something that can be used to ensure a proper semantic bridging between different levels of abstraction and this is seen as a UPDM advantage. There seems to be some need to complement this model also in UPDM however.

    A direct comparison between entities within MODAF/ NAF and UPDM shows a number of distinct differences. The ones of major concern are:
    · MODAF/ NAF ensure the ability to indicate capabilities composed of other capabilities. Whether this ability exists in UPDM is much less clear. In the same fashion MODAF/ NAF supports inheritance hierarchies between capabilities. This does not seem to be discussed within UPDM making it difficult to establish proper capability categorisation. The use of a type: String[1] within UPDM: Capability is not considered to be a valid substitute.
    · As stated previously, the inclusion of Effect based entities within UPDM seems pre-mature and the fact that this has been avoided within MODAF/ NAF is perceived as strength.
    · The field-trials and modelling that has been carried out based on MODAF/ NAF indicates that the MODAF/ NAF treatment of capability is valid.
    · The MODAF/ NAF entity dealing named StandardOperationalActivity has proven to be very useful during modelling. No equivalent entity exists as part of UPDM.

The proposed MODAF/ accepted NAF views for services make distinguishes between the description of a service and how it could be implemented. The description of a service is however much more than a single port. The exposed service port containing the service interface is important. A service taxonomy as well as classification is equally important. Composition as well as description of the service achievement is equally important. It is therefore felt that the parts dealing with services in UPDM might well await further definition of a meta-model for services once this is adopted by OMG.

    · Materiel is a very broadly defined entity that seems to relate to almost everything. At first glance the MODAF/ NAF equivalent would seem to be PhysicalAsset but given the concept of MaterielBehaviour this does not seem to be the case. First of all Materiel does not seem to need to be related to anything inside the OperationalViews and provided it is to be retained it should be confined to the SystemViews. The reason for this is twofold:
    o The operational views deal with logical operations not with solutions and by introducing materiel solutions are being discussed something that should be done in the system views.
    o In cases where entities in the operational views need to be made physical, something that happens when they do not belong to the trade-space as such, there is no need to go to a level of detail that needs materiel. MODAF/ NAF deals with a distinction between the two types of entities by stating by the use of a problem domain entity, a very useful concept.
    The association entities therefore also seem questionable.

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    · The use of service related concepts here would seem to require a complete service handling throughout and this does not seem to be the case in UPDM, possibly due to the fact that OMG is considering other profiles for services. Based on this it would seem better to await developments here.

  • Summary:

    · The attributes here would seem to be reconsidered. It may well be appropriate to avoid these altogether since the few entries contained seem unable to capture all aspects of organisational relationships. A brief check within CADM for instance reveals a great deal of different relationships and it would therefore seem better to let the architecture model itself deal with this either internally or through external references.

  • Summary:

    · This could be used to tie rather nicely into the handling of interfaces and ports in which case an operation could be a part of an interface associated with a realized interface that forms a part of a port. In all fairness however, if operations are made use of it is felt that signals should also be allowed, especially since a good way of visualising operations would be to allow InformationElements to be conveyed by signals (they could of course also be dealt with as part of the attributes associated with a given operation).

SystemsNode/ SystemsNodeElements

  • Key: UPDM-363
  • Legacy Issue Number: 12010
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    · MODAF/ NAF does not contain a system node concept and the question is whether a more applicable concept here would not be CapabilityConfiguration. The statement that a system node would be equivalent to PhysicalAsset in MODAF is not correct. If however there is a hidden assumption that a systems node has to be in a single location, then Capability configuration is broader since this would not be a requirement.
    · It is considered questionable whether the association extension is really required. A CapabilityConfiguration (to use a MODAF/ NAF term) would be visualised as a composite class diagram and the entities would thus turn up as connected to the surrounding entity without the need of a specific association.

  • Summary:

    · It is considered questionable whether the above entities are really of interest. A service is realized by a CapabilityConfiguration in MODAF/ NAF not just a system and anything other than web services will require more than this to indicate usage as well as provision of services. Being a consumer or provider will depend very highly on the point of view taken.
    · It is noted that in both of these, the text states that they are specialisations from System but the diagram shows them as extensions of class.

  • Summary:

    · See previous comment. In addition to this the attribute serviceDescription seems to be a link to a formal service description or a description of the service itself. Linking to an external specification is not considered enough for an architecture model intended to describe SOA, neither is a single text description.

  • Key: UPDM-327
  • Legacy Issue Number: 11973
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    · This entity also requires further considerations. It seems better placed as either part of the StrategicViews or the OperationalViews. Given the attributes contained it would seem to be very focused on actual operations something that does not actually fit with its name. The fact that the parameters are only strings furthermore makes one question whether it can actually be used to describe something of architectural value.

  • Key: UPDM-326

  • Summary:

    · The relationship between these entities seems far from clear. A concern is an extension of UseCase and is associated with a Stakeholder as well as an ArchitectureView. A stakeholder is also associated with an architecture view and the relationship between Stakeholder and concern is stereotypes as StakeholderConcern. It would therefore seem that connections to ArchitectureView exist both through the concern and from the stakeholder directly. Is this really required?

  • Summary:

    · Resource, given the explanation given also seems far better placed elsewhere than as part of AllViews. Given the extension used (Class) it is obviously a Type, but there seems to be some further classification going on since a resourceType parameter in the form of a string has been included. A ResourceType entity seems of interest. The value parameter also seems strange and the use to which this can actually be put seems questionable.

  • Summary:

    · Capability is shown as directly tied to resources, something that from a MODAF/ NAF perspective would be OK provided the entity was a CapabilityConfiguration. A Capability is an abstract high-level view of that which an enterprise wants to be able to accomplish during a specific time frame. Some of the attributes shown here are also strange such as type and isFielded which would seem to merit entities all by themselves in order to be usable.

    · Why do the ExternalReferenceType literals in the table repeat themselves as table entries?
    · While InformationAssurance and Security are of concern to an architect, it is considered highly doubtful whether the parameters shown here will cover the issue. Since these are examples of issues that require management across an entire enterprise it may be more profitable to look into aspect-oriented modelling concepts as a means of covering such issues.

Asset/ AssetMapping

  • Key: UPDM-338
  • Legacy Issue Number: 11985
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    · This seems to be a way of creating entities solely for the use within OV-1. The mapping entity then establishes a relationship between the asset and entities elsewhere. MODAF/ NAF manages this by viewing all the above as ConceptItems and therefore no additional entry is required. However since OV-1 users tend to want to draw lines between entities MODAF/ NAF has added an arbitrary connection element that can be used to indicate this. This has no semantic meaning however other than as an illustration. It is noted that no such feature seems to exist in UPDM.
