Project:
Integration Of Modeling And Simulation, Software Design And Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF)
Principal Investigators:
Dr. Michael Muehlen
Co-Principal Investigators:
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.
