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.
