The Unified Architecture Framework (UAF 1.1) in the context of the NATO Architecture Framework (NAF v4)

 21 Hours

Objective: This course is designed to assist participants in understanding how to implement the UAF and NAF enterprise architecture frameworks for government.

Gaining insight into the concepts of UAF 1.1 within the context of the NATO NAF v4 Architecture Framework is highly beneficial. The Domain Meta-model (DMM) of UAF delineates various stakeholder concerns related to a system, such as security, information, and measurements, through a series of predefined viewpoints. These are then mapped to the corresponding views in NAFv4.

Additionally, the Architecture Stages outlined in the NATO NAFv4 Methodology help participants understand how to effectively utilize UAF views to ensure coherence and completeness. This methodology also enables traceability from high-level goals down to the personal and physical resources required for their realization.

The concepts and techniques covered during the course are progressively applied by attendees through an end-to-end case study and a series of exercises.

Format of the Course

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

Getting the overview of NAF itself and how NAF fit's in to the bigger picture. What to do and not to do. Good EA exercise. Useful for our company and excellent for me as a newbie on SESAR.Impressive to see the speed with which the trainer reads UML and models in general. Working at high level, but at the same time keeping down to earth and showing practical use.
