NATO Architecture Framework (NAF) - 4 Days Training Course

This course gives a solid understanding across all aspects of Nato Architecture Framework. It does not focus on a specific view or function, but allows the delegates to easily find more information in the documentation and easily understand it.

During the course the delegates will do simple exercises, answer questions, etc...

Sparx Enterprise Architect is usually used during the course, but any other tools can be used instead.

Objective : This course aims at helping attendees understand how to put in practice the UAF and NAF enterprise architecture frameworks.

Understanding concepts of the UAF 1.1 in the context of the NATO NAF v4 Architecture Framework is very beneficial as the Domain Meta-model (DMM) of UAF describes various stakeholder concerns associated with a system, such as security, information or measurements through a set of predefined viewpoints and then mapped to the corresponding views in NAFv4.

On the other hand, the Architecture Stages of the NATO NAFv4 Methodology helps to understand how to make use efficiently of the views of the UAF to ensure coherence and completeness while enabling traceability from high-level goals until personal and physical resources that need be deployed to realize them.

Concepts and techniques explained during the course are progressively applied by the attendees using an end-to-end case study and different exercises on it.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.

Architectural Patterns are proven and recognized solutions for the structure and organization of applications or IT systems. These patterns define key elements, their relationships, and design principles that can be applied in software architecture to solve repeatable system design problems. Here are some popular architectural patterns: Model-View-Controller (MVC): - Dividing the application into three main components: Model (business logic and data), View (user interface), and Controller (action and logic management). Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM): - Similar to MVC, with a central data model, view and view model, often used in UI applications. Layered: - Dividing an application into layers (for example, presentation layer, business logic layer, data access layer) to segregate functionality. Microservices: - Designing the system as a set of smaller, independent and isolated microservices that communicate with each other using APIs. Event-Driven Architecture (EDA): - An event-driven architecture where system components respond to events and communicate using an event forwarding system. Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA): - Service-based structure, where the application is built as a set of services with different functionalities that are independent and can be used by different parts of the system. Component-Based Architecture: - Component-based system design, where individual parts are developed independently and can be used repeatedly in different contexts. Hexagonal Architecture (Ports and Adapters): - Separation of business logic from the technical layer by separating external and internal interfaces. Clean Architecture: - Focus on separation of dependencies and keeping the code clean through a hierarchy of layers, where the more internal layers do not depend on the external ones. Event Sourcing and CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation): - Separation of write (command) and read (query) operations in applications by using separate models. Architectural patterns provide generic solutions to architectural problems by helping developers design applications or software systems in a way that is modular, scalable, flexible, and maintainable. Each of these patterns has its advantages and can be used depending on the specifics of the project.

This course is for everyone involved in planning, analysing, implementing, executing, maintaining or improving Enterprise Architectures. It shows comprehensive perspective of tools used to describe and implement the EA.

Objective

This training course aims at helping attendees to understand the most used Enterprise Architectures and rules to follow up in their construction to succeed with an appropriate architecture scenario for their organisation.

Thanks to the selection of appropriate architecture layers, components and traceability links that are to be established from the business layer to the technical layer, the resulting enterprise architecture framework allows you a good impact analysis in the face of evolutions of the business decisions and anticipates mutations of the corresponding information system components.

MODAF is an internationally recognised enterprise architecture framework developed by the MOD to support Defence planning and change management activities. It does this by enabling the capture and presentation of information in a rigorous, coherent and comprehensive way that aids the understanding of complex issues.

The audience:

• Enterprise Architects, the principal customers for MODAF views, who need to both correctly interpret standard MODAF views provided to them and to specify and control the tasks required to create new views
• Architectural modellers who need guidance on the creation and interchange of MODAF views (including for example: architecting principles, view coherence rules and tool selection criteria)
• Tool developers and engineers who are implementing architectural data repositories for storing and manipulating MODAF Architecture data elements
• Trainers and educators who require reference material in order to appropriately train and support the previous types of MODAF users
• MODAF users who wish to contribute to the development of MODAF
• Managers who need to understand what views are required to answer their particular questions

The Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) is an architecture framework for the United States Department of Defense, that provides structure for a specific stakeholder concern through viewpoints organized by various views.

DoDAF defines a set of views that act as mechanisms for visualizing, understanding, and assimilating the broad scope and complexities of an architecture description through tabular, structural, behavioral, ontological, pictorial, temporal or graphical means.

It is especially suited to large systems with complex integration and interoperability challenges, and is apparently unique in its use of operational views detailing the external customer's operating domain in which the developing system will operate.

UPDM is an Object Management Group (OMG) initiative to develop a modeling standard that supports both the USA Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) and the UK Ministry of Defence Architecture Framework (MODAF).
