Course Description
This three day course starts by giving you an introduction to the Unified Modeling Language (UML) which is used in the definition of the Ministry of Defence’s Architectural Framework, MODAF, and is one of the recommended notations to use when producing MODAF views. Day two defines key terms and concepts as embodied in the MODAF metamodel with an emphasis on realizing MODAF views using modeling. A battlespace scenario is used to examine example MODAF views and consideration is given to ensuring consistency between views through modeling. The course concludes on day three with a workshop session during which you gain experience in producing MODAF views.
Course Objectives
- Provide an awareness of the UML modeling techniques needed for working with MODAF
- Provide an awareness of the principles and concepts behind MODAF
- Describe the structure and content of MODAF
- Enable attendees to appreciate the issues surrounding the use of MODAF
- Give attendees experience in producing MODAF views
Attendees Will Learn
- Essential UML concepts, terminology and notation needed to understand and produce MODAF views
- What is an architectural framework
- Role of the Unified Profile for DoDAF & MODAF
- The structure and content of MODAF
Pre-requisites
- An understanding of systems engineering principles and concerns
Who Should Attend
- Those wanting to learn about MODAF in order to understand how to interpret and use MODAF views
Attendees Receive
- A bound copy of all course slides, including examples of all MODAF views taken from a battlespace scenario
- Laminates which detail each MODAF view and show how they are related
- Laminates which detail the UML diagrams and show how they are related
Course Format
Much of the course involves presentation of key principles and concepts. A battlespace scenario is introduced which allows illustration of all of the MODAF views and discussion of their use. The final day is a tutor-led, group-based workshop.
