Abstract: The Department of Defense (DoD) has defined a Net Centric Warfare concept to help lead the way in the transformation of DoD capabilities in the information age. Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) has been selected as an approach for achieving many of the goals of this transformation. The DoD has created a major revision in its DoD Architecture Framework (DoDAF) that enables the inclusion of SOA. This paper describes a process for creating a DoDAF 1.5 compliant architecture that includes the description of the SOA aspects, a mapping and a process for converting that architecture to an executable model, and the use of that executable model in the evaluation of logical, behavioral, and performance aspects of the architecture. The concepts are illustrated with a detailed Case Study. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Syst Eng
