Module 1: Introduction to Architecting; Quality Attributes, the Art of Architecting, Heuristics, and the Zachman framework Module 1 provides an introduction to the art and practice of architecting, both from the architect’s work perspective, and the project perspective of creating a successful system. The general goals of architecture, such as the arrangement of components in an effective and efficient configuration, are introduce both in general, and with the guidance of ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 / INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook v4.0, in particular section 4.4 Architecture Definition Process, and in the abstract by ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010 (2011): Systems and Software Engineering —Architecture Description.
Module 1 introduces the Zachman framework as a robust basis for enterprise architecture needs. A comparison of architecture frameworks is carried out. The artful aspects of architecture are introduced with the guidance of quality attributes, as well as with the wisdom of heuristics identified by accomplished architects. Guidance for the construction of the semester project continues with checklist-driven self and peer reviews.

Module 2: Data Centrality & Integration; DoDAF 2.0 and DM2 (DoDAF Meta Model)The semester project is introduced as based on the framework of the Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) 2.0. The concept of data-driven architecture, centralized around real data and a coordinating database, is introduced with exercises based on the DoDAF Meta Model (DM2), and the efficiency of this data-based approach is demonstrated with the semester project. The construction of DoDAF models is aided with checklists that assist both the novice in covering essential development areas, and the expert in quantifying and reducing errors. The guidance of the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) v1.3 is called with the TS: Technical Solution process area. The construction of semester project models continues with the application of checklists, self-reviews and peer reviews.
1. Apply Data Centrality & Integration; Discover the DM2 (DoDAF Meta Model)2. Explain how data management processes support architecting practices3. Compare CORE-driven architecture to non-centralized architecture4. Originate DoDAF 2.0 models and architectures5. Maintain bi-directional traceability among Data and Models6. Utilize standard checklists to inform the creation of good work products7. Execute a self and peer review, using a checklist, of architecture and model features8. Utilize defect data analysis to provide feedback and process corrections
Module 3: UPDM and UAFThe compatibility of architectures and models is explored with UPDM: Unified Profile for DoDAF and MoDAF, which is a common profile for the Department of Defense Architectural Framework and the UK Ministry of Defense Architectural Framework. The future common platform for architecting is introduced as the UAF: Unified Architectural Framework.
1. Utilize UPDM and UAF2. Compare DoDAF with alternative architecture frameworks 3. Construct DoDAF 2.0 models; Execute a self and peer review, using a checklist, of Model features
4. Provide constructive feedback about technical correctness and validity
Module 4: SoS: Systems-of-SystemsSystems of Systems are collections of independent systems whose collection forms a larger whole. Because each system is complex in its own right, and has many parameters that will both influence and be influenced by the surrounding systems, the interaction of systems almost invariably leads to collective behavior that is unexpected and sometimes even unpredictable. The management of SoS is therefore pursued through subject system knowledge, risk management and predictive studies, as well as through experience and the general guidance of collected wisdom pertaining to SoS.
1. Apply SoS principles2. Review architecture with SoS principles checklist3. Construct DoDAF 2.0 models; Execute a self and peer review, using a checklist, of Model features4. Provide constructive feedback about technical correctness and validity
Module 5: System Dynamics and Modified FrameworksModule 5 introduces dynamic architecture frameworks with System Dynamics, a methodology for linking interacting factors, with the possibility of creating positive or negative feedback interaction loops with mathematical modeling. With knowledge of a variety of frameworks, the possibility of creating hybrid architectures increases. The concept of fit-for-purpose architecture products is shown as the basis for modified architecture frameworks. Guidance for the construction of the semester project continues with checklist-driven self and peer reviews.
1. Discover the System Dynamics process framework, and produce an System Dynamics architecture2. Produce a modified framework to meet special needs3. Construct DoDAF 2.0 models; Execute a self and peer review, using a checklist, of Model features4. Provide constructive feedback about technical and grammatical correctness
Module 6: ATAM: Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method; Tradeoff StudiesModule 6 delves into the decision making aspects of architecting, with the guidance of the Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method (ATAM), and with structured trade studies. The importance of decision making process is emphasized with case studies that demonstrate the importance of rubust, attribute-driven decision making processes. Guidance for the construction of the semester project continues with checklist-driven self and peer reviews.
1. Discover trade study basics
2. Discover ATAM: Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method3. Execute architecture Tradeoff Studies4. Learn how to assess alternatives for impact analyses Execute a self and peer review, using a checklist, of Model
features5. Provide constructive feedback about technical correctness
Module 7: Management; Reviews and PresentationsManagement processes maintain alignment between enterprise objectives and architecture models. Management processes increase efficiency in architecting processes by aligning architecting work with customer requirements and assuring verification of system requirements. Configuration Management establishes and maintains consistency of models with requirements throughout the life cycle. Changes in architecture are formally allowable only after impact analyses and trade studies.
Module 7 provides for the public review of semester projects, the recapitulation of semester activities, and the opportunity for course feedback.
