Quickly identify under or over-utilized resources
Are the resources deployed?
Ensure that resources are allocated to meet specific goals
Success/Mission metrics - Metrics lead to program success. Employing MagicDraw promotes significant improvement in processes, program and people efficiencies as well as shorter cycle times. Rapidly see and identify data relationships and critical paths.
Align your operational metrics with your system metrics
Use "what-if" scenarios to optimize system and operational parameters
Use metrics to drive system design and operations
Trace metrics back to systems that fulfill them
Efficiency - Benefit from improved speed to deploy, optimized resource allocation, improved collaboration, and reduced overall cycle times. Teams will find it easier to take the abstract and make it meaningful and achieve net-centric results.
Be efficient and collaborative
Easily and quickly pass along knowledge and training to others
Achieve efficiencies because guidance has been followed
UAF 1.0, DoDAF 2.0, MODAF 1.2, NAF 3.0, and NAF 4.0 via UAFP solution
UAFP is Unified Profile for UAF, DoDAF, MODAF, and NAF developed and maintained by OMG:
UAFP was developed by members of the OMG with help from industry and government domain experts.
UAFP is not an Architectural Framework.
UAFP is not a methodology or process.
UAFP is a standardized way of expressing UAF, DoDAF, MODAF, and NAF artifacts using UML, SysML, and SoaML.
No Magic’s involvement in UAFP is substantial:
No Magic co-chairs UAF activities in OMG
No Magic is leading the architecture of UAFP
UAFP is modeled using MagicDraw
UAFP specification was generated from MagicDraw
To learn how to benefit from our UAF, DoDAF, MODAF, and NAF expertise, call us. We have the experience and insights to help you succeed.

ISO8601 (Date/Time) editor
Information engineering notation support for information and data modeling. Available only with Cameo Data Modeler plugin
Systems Modelling Language (SysML™) adoption by the Object Management Group™ (OMG™) was a critical step standardizing a common language platform for systems engineering. MagicDraw committed to being the most complete standards compliant solution on market, provides support of OMG SysML™ 1.5 for standards based system engineering.
SysML solution is packaged as a plugin to the MagicDraw® tool and is available for purchase separately.
The Teamwork Server is a piece of the software that allows more than one IT architect to work with the same model. The UPDM model is stored in the teamwork server repository and every developer working with the Standard, Professional or Enterprise edition of MagicDraw may lock a part of the model and work on that part individually. Later changes may be committed to the server and shared with the team. Teamwork Server provides groupware, configuration management, security, distributed use, parallel development, and more capabilities.
Model Merge enables copying changes between different project versions. This functionality is usually needed when there are several branches that reflect different releases or versions of the product, e.g. when certain fixes have to be copied from a release branch to the mainstream development. Merge functionality in MagicDraw works both on file system files and projects stored in the MagicDraw Teamwork server.
UAF plugin in combination with the Cameo Business Modeler plugin provides the capability for understanding internal business procedures. BPMN standard provides an alternative, business process-centric, a notation to model operational and resource behavior within the enterprise. A business process based diagram for UAF describes a sequence or flow of activities in an enterprise showing how the business works. The diagram shows activities and events/data that trigger or feed business activities.
The Cameo Simulation Toolkit provides the first in the industry extendable model execution framework based on OMG fUML and W3C SCXML standards. It extends UAF plugin to validate system behavior by executing, animating and debugging UAF Statemachine, UML Statemachine, UAF Activity, UML Activity and SysML Parametric models in the context of realistic mock-ups of the intended user interface.
Beginning with version 17.0, the UAF plugin introduces Cameo Data Modeler integration for conceptual, logical, and physical data modeling. The Entity Relationship diagram supporting the information engineering notation has been added for the Information models of UAF frameworks as well as Data and Information viewpoint models of DoDAF and for the OV-7 and SV-11 products of MODAF.
Cameo Collaborator for Teamwork Cloud is a web-based product designed to present models in a simplified form for stakeholders, sponsors, customers, and engineering teams. The new product is built with scalability in mind, making it possible to deploy it both in a single node and a cluster setting. It works in all form factors (desktop, tablet, and smartphones), making model sharing and reviewing easy.
