Introduction - DoD Enterprise Architecture ; The Future of Architecture
Mr. Walt Okon and Mr. John Fletcher
Learn what the DoD has developed and delivered in 2009. See the Vision for development and direction of IT architecture in the Net-Centric data world of today and tomorrow.
DoDAF 2.0
Mr. Mike Wayson and Mr. Dave McDonald
DoD Architecture Framework (DoDAF) is the standard framework chosen by the United States Department of Defense to comply with the Clinger-Cohen Act and to provide guidance to all DoD architects on the development of IT architectures. It focuses on architecture data, rather than on developing individual products. Learn how DoDAF provides the guiding principles for modeling and designing architectures via a set of products that support the DoD environment. The Framework ensures that architecture descriptions can be compared and related across organizational boundaries, including Joint and multinational boundaries
DoD Organizational Governance Structure
Mr. Alan Golombek
The presentation will describe the Architecture and Standards Review Group (ASRG) mission, functions, structure, communication methods, coordination and tasking mechanisms, and deliverables and its function within the DoD organizational governance structure. It is intended to provide audience members with a baseline of ASRG activities, who executes them, how, and when are these activities performed. The presentation addresses the policies that drive and support ASRG activities, the architecture and standards content over which it has review and approval authority, and the tools members of the architecture and standards communities can leverage to facilitate their work.
UPDM
Mr. Walt Okon and Mr. Matthew Hause
Unified Profile for DoDAF and MODAF (UPDM) is an Object Management Group (OMG) initiative to standardize how UML and UML dialects (e.g., SysML) represent both the US Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) and the UK's Ministry of Defense Architecture Framework (MODAF) can accomplish architecture exchange. The standardization is expected to result in significant improvements in the consistency, quality, and tool interoperability of enterprise architectures that comply with these frameworks. UPDM enables an architect using one architecture tool to share that architecture with another architect using different architecture tool.
Lunch
IT Standards and Process Integration
Mr. Walt Okon and Mr. James Feagans
The Assistant Secretary of Defense (ASD) for Network & Information Integration (NII)/DoD Chief Information Officer (CIO) and the Intelligence Community (IC)/CIO are committed to close coordination and have common goals regarding interoperability and net centric information sharing. A crucial component is a joint baseline of IT standards to guide DoD and IC in developing and providing such net-centric information sharing systems and capabilities. DoD and IC established a Joint IT Standards Program. Learn about the Joint DoD and IC Standards.
GIG Technical Guidance (GTG)
Mr. Dave Brown
Learn how the DoD is collaborating to develop and coordinate an effective and efficient approach for the DoD to manage existing and evolving GIG technical guidance. See the increased focus and detail in defining Key Interface Profiles (KIPs) and Net-Centric Implementation Documents (NCIDs) and to specifically delineate their use. These efforts served to:
- Establish detailed, guidance on how to execute data-sharing to enable net-centricity;
- Allow the tailoring of Key Performance Parameters so that it can scale to operational environments; and
- Align, coordinate, and synchronize the Warfighter Mission Area/GIG documentation. See how the GTG is an improved process mechanism for developing and promulgating requisite GIG technical guidance that includes functional, architectural, and standards-based constructs.
DoD EA Education and Training
Ms. Lisa Hugo and Ms. Samantha Stokes
The goals of an effective architecture education and training program will (1) establish architecture workforce tier levels; (2) identify core competencies as well as knowledge, skills and abilities; (3) establish standardized education training curricula; and (4) incorporate a collective knowledge sharing process. The Education and Training initiative addresses each of these areas of focus and this presentation will discuss the approach, the benefits, and the desired outcomes of the initiative.
DoD IEA
Mr. Terry Hagle and Mr. Alphonso F Mazyck
The Defense Information Enterprise comprises the information, information resources, assets, and processes required to achieve an information advantage and share information across the Department and with mission partners. The Defense Information Enterprise Architecture (DIEA) describes the integrated Defense Information Enterprise and the rules for the information assets and resources that enable it. Learn how DIEA provides the guidance, rules, and design principles. In addition, this presentation describes the Enterprise Reference Architecture Cell (ERAC) and its ongoing tasks to include the DoD IEA, Reference Architecture (RA) Description, Enterprise-wide Access to Network and Collaboration Services (EANCS) RA, EANCS Use Case Analysis, and ITI Segment Architecture Assessment.
GIG Version 2.0
Lt Col Chad D Raduege, JCS
Be able to log into any network with your current credentials, find anyone in the Global Address List regardless of where they are in the world, get to your data and applications from anywhere, plug your laptop into any network without re-imaging it, know that your security posture is current and if it's not, how to make it current, and have the same email address for your entire career. That is what GIG 2.0 is all about!
