Development of a dodaf-based executable architecting approach to analyze system-of-systems alternatives

This paper summarizes an approach to using DoDAF to create executable architecture environments. 12The use of DoDAF to create four types of common executables models is summarized. These modeling types include Markov Chains, Petri Nets, System Dynamics models, and Mathematical graphs. Some aspects of the framework are demonstrated using a suppression of enemy air defenses scenario.
