This tutorial introduces a brand new Unified Architecture Framework v1.0 and explores how to leverage MBSE with architecture modeling in an integrated and disciplined approach, enabling the modernization of systems of systems. Tutorial is based on an industry case-study and features the creation of architecture from A to Z, combining both theory and practice.

The session presents a straightforward and easy-to-understand modeling process for the key UAF domains - covering strategy, operational, personnel and resources, project, and security. It also covers traceability all the way through to produce an integrated model, which can later be used for various engineering analysis, like trade-offs, what-if analysis, behavioral simulation, etc.

Enterprise Architecture for Systems of Systems as implemented in the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) should be used throughout the entire system lifecycle. This starts at the initial concept, requirements and specification phases, proceeds through the implementation, deployment, transition and operations phase, as well as through maintenance, upgrade and disposal phases. This presentation will look at how the UAF can be used through the system lifecycle and how a standards-based integrated toolchain helps in this process.

This presentation will provide an introduction to the underlying information model and patterns that exist in the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) and how the various UAF domains are related. The talk will be extended with an example of the felxibility of the framework describing how it can be "skinned" to represent other frameworks to architect commercial systems of systems applications involving the IOT/IIOT such as a Smart City or Autonomous driving.
