UML Profile for DoDAF/MODAF (UPDM) Info Day

OMG is developing a new architecture modeling specification based on MDA that will define a standardized implementation for UML based tools. MDA has become the preferred approach for describing architectures that are needed to bridge the business community with the technical community. MDA has an extensive supporting infrastructure through OMG, which includes broad industry representation, and a defined process and infrastructure for extending the modeling language.

The objective of this work is to reach community consensus on a UML Profile for DoDAF and MODAF (UPDM) that will aid users of conformant tools to create and analyze compliant architectures and to exchange architecture data in an interoperable manner. In addition to DoDAF and MODAF, the goal is to support other architecture frameworks that are variants of DoDAF. This work began in September 2005 and is wholeheartedly supported by community practitioners, leading commercial tool vendors and architecture leaders in DoD and UK MOD. Refer to the OMG SE DSIG site at http://syseng.omg.org for additional information.

This event will be held on 6 December 2006 in conjunction with the OMG Technical Meeting in Washington DC. Attendees will get a first hand look at how this standard will better align architecture models with models of other business and technical aspects of the enterprise such as requirements, objectives, processes and solutions. Topics to be presented include the following:

• Motivation and requirements for UPDM
• Overview of the OMG effort to extend MDA to support architecture frameworks
• Approaches for applying UPDM to system-of-systems and enterprise architectures
  • Review of UPDM design features offered by submissions
  • Evening reception, possibly with vendor tool previews or demos
