Integration of M&S (Modeling and Simulation), Software Design and DoDAF (Department of Defense Architecture Framework (RT 24)

Abstract

Different Department of Defense communities prepare models for architecture compliance (e.g., to maintain JCIDS requirements), for simulation purposes (e.g. for performance estimates) and software engineering (e.g, for model-based code generation). Little, if any, information transfer and model reuse takes place across these communities of interest, which leads to redundant efforts, models that are out of sync, and lost domain knowledge. Differences in methods, tools and data formats are a major reason for this disconnect. The charter of RT 24 was to investigate mechanisms that could help bridge the divide between the modeling & simulation, software engineering, and enterprise architecture modeling communities.
