9. Unified Architecture Framework
Unified Architecture Framework Strategic Direction
Move towards a Single Architecture Framework to achieve Interoperability
Development of the AMN architecture in 2010
Development of Unified Profile for DoDAF and MODAF (UPDM) Versions 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0
Meeting at Object Management Group (OMG) March 2012
Ideas Meeting in June 2012
Plan for NATO CAT workshop 10/11 Sept 2012

10. ARCHITECTURE FRAMEWORKS
Need for Unified Architecture Framework:
Differences in DoDAF, MODAF, and NAF make it difficult to achieve interoperability
Inability to analyze architectures correctly
Difficult to share across domains
Miscommunication between architects
High cost
Tool Vendor incalpatability.

11. Elements of Quality Architecture
Policy, Direction, Guidance
Single Architecture Framework
Architecture Exchange
Architecture Tools
Trained/Certified Architects
Enabling efficient and effective acquisition of hardware, software and services used by DoD in missions deliverables.

Mission Statement
and
Workshop Objectives

13. Unified Architecture Framework
Mission Statement:
To achieve a Unified Architecture Framework to support design, development, and delivery of capability architecture that can be exchanged and shared for interoperability.
Workshop Objectives:
Understand critical need for a unified framework.
Understand the information sharing movement
Achieve unity and commitment to a strategic direction
Know the direction forward to achieve UAF

14. Unified Architecture Framework
Discussed; National Architecture Movement in US across all levels of government
Agreements:
Architecture was foundational
Used in Government, Industry, and Universities
Major need for educated and trained architects
Need for authority, governance, and process
Need to design architectures for interoperability
UAF will enable interoperability
UAF to define a Collaborative Planning Methodology
Acceptance , Architecture Framework Convergence Vision

16. Unified Architecture Framework
Workshop Accomplishments:
Delivered all presentations according to planned agenda
Presented and discussed Letter of Strategic Intent
Presented and discussed UAF Roadmap
Agreement UAF is necessary and beneficial
Harmonization of Frameworks is good
Agreement UAF is the way ahead
Agreement that IDEAS Nations have to update Letter of Strategic Intent

17. Workshop Action Items
US will provide the DoD Architects Competency Framework to NATO Architecture Cat
IDEAS group will revise the Letter of Strategic Intent
NATO Architecture CaT will post Workshop presentation on the Wiki
US to provide the US, Common Approach to Federal Enterprise Architecture to NATO Architecture CaT
US to provide DoD IEA Volumes 1 and 2.
=====================================
Others: Define “Enterprise” Issue of Governance, What is the purpose of this group? What are the task that the Architecture CaT?

18. Harmonization of Frameworks
Architecture CaT Members to go to the Drew Room (behind the post office and the cashier) for lunch; hot dogs and hamburgers.
Purpose: To raise money for the USMC ball.
Cheapest meal in Brussels.
