    Study Notes

    Unified Modeling Language (UML)

    • UML is a standardized modeling language with graphical notation techniques for visualizing software systems.
    • Key UML diagrams include:
      • Class Diagrams: Exhibit static structure, including classes, attributes, operations, and relationships.
      • Sequence Diagrams: Demonstrate how objects interact in a specific sequence of events.
      • Activity Diagrams: Illustrate workflows, showcasing the flow from one activity to another.
      • Use Case Diagrams: Highlight functional requirements and interactions with external actors.

    Systems Modeling Language (SysML)

    • SysML expands UML to enhance support for systems engineering.
    • Key SysML diagrams consist of:
      • Requirement Diagrams: Capture system requirements and their interrelations.
      • Block Definition Diagrams: Illustrate the hierarchical structure of the system.
      • Internal Block Diagrams: Reveal internal structures and interactions among system parts.
      • Parametric Diagrams: Specify constraints on system parameters.

    Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ERDs)

    • ERDs visualize data relationships, defining entities, their relationships, and attributes within a system.

    Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN)

    • BPMN offers a graphical way to represent business processes, allowing for complex workflow depiction and organizational interactions.

    TOGAF (The Open Group Architecture Framework)

    • TOGAF's Architecture Development Method (ADM) guides complex system modeling through phased processes:
      • Preliminary Phase: Preparation activities for new enterprise architecture.
      • Architecture Vision: Scope definition, stakeholder identification, and initial vision creation.
      • Business Architecture: Developing models for business processes and structure.
      • Technology Architecture: Crafting the technology architecture.
      • Opportunities and Solutions: Identifying delivery vehicles for architecture.
      • Implementation Governance: Ensuring conformance of projects to the architecture.
      • Architecture Change Management: Managing architectural updates.

    Components of TOGAF

    • Architecture Content Framework: Detailed model of deliverables and artifacts.
    • Enterprise Continuum: Classification system for architecture and solution artifacts.
    • TOGAF Reference Models: Include Technical Reference Model (TRM) and Integrated Information Infrastructure Reference Model (III-RM).

    Zachman Framework

    • Developed by John Zachman, this framework organizes architectural artifacts through a structured schema.
    • Defined by:
      • Perspectives (Rows): Views of various stakeholders (e.g., Planner, Owner, Designer, Builder, User).
      • Abstractions (Columns): Different architectural aspects (What, How, Where, Who, When, Why).

    Comparison of Frameworks

    • TOGAF:

      • Focuses on enterprise-wide architecture; highly flexible.
      • Strengths in comprehensive methodology and adaptability.
      • Best for large enterprises requiring structured governance.
    • Zachman Framework:

      • Emphasizes organization of architecture artifacts.
      • Renowned for detailed separation of perspectives and aspects.
      • Ideal for organizations needing systematic architecture documentation.

    Developing a Basic Architectural Model

    • Define the scope and objectives, identifying key stakeholders.
    • Create a high-level architecture vision that outlines key components.
    • Design business architecture to represent functions and workflows.
    • Develop information systems architecture, including data and application models.
    • Establish technology architecture, detailing required infrastructure.
    • Plan implementation by identifying potential risks and strategies.

    Complex System Modeling

    • Involves designing and analyzing systems with intricate interactions.
    • Employs various techniques to deeply understand component interactions and system behavior.
