Architecting with DODAF
The DOD Architecture Framework (DODAF) provides an underlying structure to work with complexity. Today’s systems do not stand alone; each system fits within an increasingly complex system-of-systems, a network of interconnection that virtually guarantees surprise behavior. Systems science recognizes this type of interconnectivity as one essence of complexity. It requires new tools, new methods, and new paradigms for effective system design. This course provides knowledge and exercises at a practical level in the use of the DODAF. You will learn about architecting processes, methods and thought patterns. You will practice architecting by creating DODAF representations of a familiar, complex system-of-systems. By the end of this course, you will be able to use DODAF effectively in your work. Practice architecting on a creative “Mars Rotor” complex system. Define the operations, technical structure, and migration for this future space program. Register here to receive more

Course Topics
| Introduction – System architecting concepts. How architecting fits with systems engineering. Architectures and Architecting – Fundamental concepts. Terms and definitions. Origin of the terms within systems development. Understanding of the components of an architecture. Architecting key activities. Foundations of modern architecting. Architectural Tools – Architectural frameworks: DODAF, TOGAF, Zachman, FEAF. Why frameworks exist, and what they hope to provide. Design patterns and their origin. Using patterns to generate alternatives. Pattern language and the communication of patterns. System architecting patterns. Binding patterns into architectures |
DODAF Overview – Viewpoints within DoDAF (All, Capability, Data/Information, Operational, Project, Services, Standards, Systems). How Viewpoints support models. Diagram types (views) within each viewpoint. DODAF Operational Definition Processes – Describing an operational environment, and then modifying it to incorporate new capabilities. Sequences of creation. How to convert concepts into DODAF views. Practical exercises on each DODAF view, with review and critique. Teaching method includes three passes for each product: (a) describing the views, (b) instructor-led exercise, (c) group work to create views. |
DODAF Technical Definition Processes – Converting the operational definition into service-oriented technical architecture. Matching the new architecture with legacy systems. Sequences of creation. Linkages between the technical viewpoints and the operational viewpoints. Practical exercises on each DODAF view, with review and critique, again using the three-pass method DODAF Migration Definition Processes – How to depict the migration of current systems into future systems while maintaining operability at each step. Practical exercises on migration planning. Continuing Education: This course qualifies for 1.4 CEUs or 14 PDUs |
The Instructors
 Mr.
Eric Honour, CSEP, has been in international leadership of
the engineering of systems for a dozen years, part of a 40-year career
of complex systems development and operation. His energetic and informative
presentation style actively involves class participants. He was the
founding Chair of the INCOSE (International Council on Systems Engineering)
Technical Board in 1994, was elected to INCOSE President for 1997,
and served as Director of the Systems Engineering Center of Excellence
(SECOE). He was selected in 2000 for Who’s Who in Science and
Technology and in 2004 as an INCOSE Founder. He is on the editorial
board for Systems Engineering. He has been a systems engineer, engineering
manager, and program manager at Harris Information Systems, E-Systems
Melpar, and Singer Link, preceded by nine years as a US Naval Officer
flying P-3 aircraft. He has led or contributed to the development
of 17 major systems, including the Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation
systems, the Battle Group Passive Horizon Extension System, the National
Crime Information Center 2000, and the DDC1200 Digital Zone Control
system for heating and air conditioning. Mr. Honour now heads Honourcode,
Inc., a consulting firm offering effective methods in the development
of system products. Mr. Honour has a BSSE (Systems Engineering) from
the US Naval Academy, MSEE from the Naval Postgraduate School, and
is a doctoral candidate at the University of South Australia. |
 Dr.
Scott Workinger has led innovative technology development
efforts in complex, risk-laden environments for 30 years in the fields
of manufacturing (automotive, glass, optical fiber), engineering and
construction (nuclear, pulp & paper), and information technology
(expert systems, operations analysis, CAD, collaboration technology).
He currently teaches courses on program management and engineering
and consults on strategic management and technology issues. Scott
has a B.S in Engineering Physics from Lehigh University, an M.S. in
Systems Engineering from the University of Arizona, and a Ph.D. in
Civil and Environment Engineering from Stanford University. |
