Study Notes
- Architecture implementation in IT and defense domains uses frameworks like TOGAF, NAF, and DoDAF
- Implementation includes metamodel development, architecture development methods, standards library, architecture repository and registry, and architecture capability
- Architecture capability includes skills and governance logic
- Enterprise and product architecture frameworks established to ensure consistency with enterprise strategy (Sowa and Zachman, 1992)
- Multiple entities with interrelated life cycles must be considered during architecting
- Architecture management implements governance directives and manages architecture description
- Architecture description accomplished through Architecture Conceptualization and Architecture Elaboration (ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010 and 42020)
- Architecture evaluation determines extent to which architectures meet objectives, stakeholder concerns, and requirements (ISO/IEC/IEEE 42030)
- Architecture evaluation frameworks like Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method (ATAM) and Method Framework for Engineering System Architectures (MFESA) allow performing evaluation in three steps: defining objectives, development of evaluation method, and analysis of architecture concepts and properties.
