摘要
随着系统和系统级系统(SoSs)复杂性的不断提高,架构设计的重要性也与日俱增。虽然《国防部架构框架》(DoDAF)等架构框架通常被用来指导架构设计,但仍有许多观点阻碍其有效使用。架构框架应该用来组织模糊或不完整的信息,识别和提出决策问题,并指导架构决策,而不是仅仅为了满足里程碑审查而生成一套架构描述模型。遗憾的是,决策点隐藏在架构模型中,其模糊性常常导致人们困惑,究竟是缺乏建模经验还是缺乏足够的决策分析而导致架构模型建立错误。因此,本文基于 DoDAF 确定了架构模型开发过程中的关键决策点和决策类型。此外,本文还提出了一套决策模式及其使用指南,为开发架构模型和生成备选方案提供定性决策分析。以反潜 SoS 为例来说明将决策模式应用于 DoDAF 模型开发和生成架构备选方案的过程。
Architecture Design Space Generation via Decision Pattern-Guided Department of Defense Architecture Framework Modeling
The importance of architecture design keeps increasing as the complexity of systems and system-of-systems (SoSs) continues rising. While the architecture frameworks such as the Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) are commonly used to guide architecture design, many perspectives are still hindering their effective use. Instead of generating a set of architecture description models probably only for satisfying the milestone review, the architecture frameworks should be used to organize the vague or incomplete information, identify and formulate the decision-making problem, and guide the architecture decision-making. Unfortunately, the decision points are hidden in the architecture models and the ambiguity often leads to a confusion of whether the architecture models are built incorrectly due to the lack of modeling experience or the lack of adequate decision analysis. Therefore, this paper identifies the key decision points and decision types during the architecture model development based on the DoDAF. Plus, this paper proposes a set of decision patterns and a guide to their use to provide qualitative decision analysis for developing architecture models and generating alternatives. An illustrative example to anti-submarine SoSs demonstrates the process of applying the decision patterns to the DoDAF model’s development and the generated architecture alternatives.
