Tools speed mission-critical system design
Artisan Studio is an integrated suite of collaborative modelling tools for requirements analysis, specification, design and development of complex, mission-critical systems and software engineering
It does this by providing a framework for developing architectures that provide a means to model, understand, analyse and specify capabilities, systems, systems-of-systems (SoS) and business processes.
MODAF may be applied across a wide variety of MOD processes including: capability management, acquisition, operational analysis, planning and through-life management.
MODAF has been developed from the US Department of Defense Architectural Framework (DoDAF).
MODAF keeps compatibility with the core DoDAF viewpoints in order to facilitate exchange of architectural information with the USA, for example in conducting international interoperability analyses.
However, MODAF has supplemented DoDAF with two new viewpoints that better support MOD processes and lifecycles.
Artisan Studio is an integrated suite of UML/SysML modelling tools targeted to meet the development needs of technical systems.
By embracing the latest UML 2.0 and SysML standards, it is the tool of choice for the development of complex, mission-critical systems and real-time embedded software systems.
Artisan Studio is highly scaleable and suitable for use on small and large technical projects.
Its proven multi-user repository provides a stable, robust working environment ensuring high availability of model information, while securing all valuable data.
Artisan has recently announced that it has started shipping Artisan Studio 6.1 which includes features and functionality in support of the new SysML standard.
Artisan Studio already includes a DoDAF profile in which a broad range of DoDAF/MODAF views can be modelled in a single repository ensuring architectural consistency and allowing a seamless transition from architecture models to lower level systems engineering and software design models.
