The Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) supports the capability to:
- model architectures for a broad range of complex systems, which may include hardware, software, data, personnel, and facility elements;
- model consistent architectures for system-of-systems (SoS) down to lower levels of design and implementation;
- support the analysis, specification, design, and verification of complex systems; and
- improve the ability to exchange architecture information among related tools that are SysML-based and tools that are based on other standards.
According to modeling needs, there are two UAF templates for different purposes:
- UAF Enterprise Architecture Project is designed for enterprise and IT architecture modeling and includes essential elements for this area: capabilities, requirements, operational behaviors, resources (hardware, software, facility), data, and personnel.
- UAF Project is designed to model architectures for a broad range of complex systems. The UAF provides an applicable model of security controls, threat, risk, and risk mitigation. It allows defining consistent architectures for System-of-Systems (SoS) inclusive all creation phases from the design until implementation.
Please make sure, that the UAF Plugin is installed.
