Service-Oriented Views in UPDM

Abstract

This paper provides guidance on how to use the Unified Profile for the Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) and Ministry of Defence Architecture Framework (MODAF)(UPDM) to describe a set of Service-Oriented viewpoints and associated views. Systems development is moving towards a dynamic producer/consumer environment where components are developed once, deployed to the cloud, and offered for reuse by authorized users. A service oriented approach to architecture leads to an environment where third party-deployed components can be leveraged and reused through the flexible connectivity of applications implemented as services. Such services have well-defined, platform-independent specifications that hide the underlying technical complexity of the implementation (encapsulation), are self contained(loosely coupled), and reusable. Creating a platform-independent architecture description as a first step ahead of developing the systems views (which are platform-specific)supports reuse and interoperability. UPDM supports describing such an architecture.
