Object Management Group BOD Adopts Unified Architecture Framework and Unified Component Model Standards

Needham, MA - October. 11, 2016 - TThe Object Management Group® (OMG®), an international, open membership, not-for-profit technology standards consortium, held its quarterly Technical Meeting from September 12-16 at the Loews Chicago O'Hare Hotel in Rosemont, IL, USA. At the meeting, its BOD voted to adopt three new standards:

  • The SysML® Extension for Physical Interaction and Signal Flow Simulation specification facilitates integration of systems engineering models with physical interaction and signal flow simulation models widely used in industry.
  • The Unified Architecture Framework® (UAF®) specification is the latest revision of the successful Unified Profile for DoDAF and MODAF™ (UPDM™) specification for representing DoDAF, MODAF & NATO Architecture Framework (NAF)-conformant architectures using UML® and SysML.
  • The Unified Component Model (UCM) for DRTE Systems is a new specification for defining, implementing and composing loosely-coupled independent components in Distributed, Real-Time and Embedded (DRTE) Systems. UCM builds on the strengths of the original CORBA Component Model™ (CCM™), to provide a middleware-agnostic platform that is already being actively used to create demanding component-based aerospace applications.

To view these and other OMG specifications, visit www.omg.org/spec/index.htm.

TECHNOLOGY ADOPTION PROCESSES UNDERWAY
OMG Technical Committees voted to issue the Uncertainty Modeling RFI. The Uncertainty RFI solicits ideas, discussions, comments, recommendations, user needs and experiences about uncertainty modeling in system/software engineering, in particular, complex systems, such as Cyber-Physical Systems that typically operate in complex and unpredictable environments.

Learn more about these and other technology adoption processes underway at www.omg.org/public_schedule.
