Architecture-Based Operations Analysis: An Extension of Classical Operations Analysis

Abstract

DEFINITION OF TERMS: (1) ARCHITECTURE is the structure of components, their relationships, and the principles and guidelines governing their design and evolution over time. (2) INTEGRATED ARCHITECTURE has products whose constituent architecture data elements are such that the architecture data elements defined in one view are the same (i.e., the same names, definitions, and values) as the architecture data elements referenced in another. (3) OPERATIONS ANALYSIS is "the application of scientific principles and quantitative methods in the analysis of complex real-world systems; to include the study of military problems undertaken to provide responsible commanders and staff agencies with a sound scientific basis for decision on actions to improve military operations. (4) A CAPABILITY is the ability to execute a specified course of action (sequence of activities).
