A Unified SoS and System Architecture Modeling Approach Based on Language Transformation and Extension Mechanisms

Abstract

UAFML or UPDM is the language for modeling System of System(SoS) architecture. While SysML is used to model system architecture with solid connections with requirements, multidisciplinary analysis, software development, verification, etc. Many companies export the SoS architecture model into an XMI file or even a Word document to the system-architecture-level design team to perform further development. It will cost more time and may cause information inconsistency in practice. To bridge the gap, studying a more economical way to perform the modeling information exchange is necessary. This paper studied architecture modeling language building and transformation mechanisms and proposed a unified SoSE and SE modeling approach, which will make the most of the architecture model, guarantee the different architecture level model consistency and save cost.
