Re-Use of Integrated Dictionary Components for C4ISR Architectures
Abstract
The C4ISR Architecture Framework Products can be developed using mapping between Structured Analysis products and the Framework products and also based on mapping between Object Orientation and Framework products [Levis and Wagenhals, Bienvenue, Shin and Levis, 2000]. Both of these methodologies for architecture design are adequate to obtain essential and supporting C4ISR products. However, sometimes the architect has to add new capabilities into the existing architecture that contains the products developed using either of the two approaches. If he uses the same approach (either Structured or Object Orientation) to develop the new set of products as was used the for the original architecture, then the task of model concordance is not difficult, otherwise it is not easy. This paper discusses the reuse of the components of an Integrated Dictionary developed for the C4ISR products to add new products into the existing architecture. The C4ISR Architecture Framework products are developed using two approaches for a single operational concept, and then the contents of the two integrated dictionaries are compared to find out the similarities and differences.
