Joint AAR Architecture Development Evolution of the OneSAF AAR Architecture
Evolving the Architecture • Baseline Architecture • Receive Stakeholder Requirements • Allocate Stakeholder Requirements • Develop Use Case Scenarios • Identify Extensions • Define Extensions
Use Case Scenarios Use Case Scenarios represent threads providing context in which the architecture is quantitatively evaluated by stakeholder quality attributes. Use Case One … Use Case N Products Specify a logical grouping of components along boundaries (applications, phases, tools, etc) Capability or Phase … System Components Document modules of implementation that interact according to defined interfacing mechanisms called “Connectors”. These connectors are themselves Supporting Components of the architecture. For each Component, context-connector diagrams are documented one dependency deep. Middleware Layer Middleware Components represent the layer that connects System Components to Technologies. The mechanisms used by the connectors are strongly driven by the stakeholder quality attributes. Connector Functional Services Sub-Component Data Model API Technology & Standards Layer Service components represent the layer that abstracts the Components and Connectors of the Use Cases Scenarios from the underlying implementation details (HW/SW).

Receive Stakeholder Requirements • Capture Stakeholder Quality Attributes • If the sponsor of a system cannot tell you what any of the quality goals are for the system, then any architecture will do. • Quality attributes are used in context to architectural evaluation techniques • Allocate Requirements • Allocate to Components • Identify Specification Level
Adopt Use Case Scenarios • Use Case Scenarios represent the threads by which to evaluate an architecture in context to its quality attributes • Use Case Scenarios provide first impressions for any architecture • Not the same as software (UML) use cases • These threads represent methods of evaluating the architecture in context to a stakeholder’s quality attributes • Joint AAR Operational Activities

Allocate Requirements • Allocate to Components • For each component ask what this stakeholder’s requirement means in the component's context • Identify Specification Level • Identify the specification level of each requirement; for example: 0 = No Allocation 1 = Specified 2 = Designed 3 = Implementation (Partial) 4 = Complete
Identify Extensions • Analyze Requirements • Identify how implementation falls short of providing for quality attributes in context to the requirements • Develop Integration Alternatives • Ensure each alternative is distinguishable from the others • Analyze Alternatives • Weigh alternatives by quality attributes and other common criteria • Select Alternatives • This process is representative of a trade-off or decision analysis and resolution study

Integration Approach • Evaluate & Rate tool sets in context to Operational Activities • Select tool sets are a central context of integration by Rating. • Integration by loose coupling through a Service Oriented Architecture • Agents, and Agent Frameworks
