Executable Architecture based on System Dynamics: An Integrated Methodology Composed by Standard System Dynamics Modelling and DoDAF Operational View Models.
Executable Architectures (EA) have proven to be useful in enabling more integrated and holistic way to assessment and architectures, due these allow validation logic, behavior and performance of dynamical systems that are modeled statically formal languages such as Unified Modeling Language, Systems Modeling Language and Business Process Modeling Notation, complemented by the simulation, so that they can be visualized and analyzed with respect to time. This article briefly discusses the main methodologies of Modeling Dynamic Systems designed by Andrew Ford and Sterman, highlighting how some of the models of the Operational View (OV) of DoDAF provide key elements in building an EA based on systems dynamic. It shows how the incorporation of standard methodologies, integrated models of DoDAF OV allow us to create AE more efficiently.
