C4ISR architectures: I. Developing a process for C4ISR architecture design

Alexander H. Levis and Lee W. Wagenhals

Systems Engineering, 2000, vol. 3, issue 4, 225-247

Abstract: The C4ISR Architecture Framework document issued by the Department of Defense specifies three views of an information architecture and defines a set of products that describe each view. These architecture views are to serve as the basis for C4ISR system development and acquisition. The Framework does not provide a process for architecture design. In this paper, information architectures are described in the context of Structured Analysis, and then the architecture views of the Framework and the related products are interpreted in that context. A methodology for architecture design is developed that is then implemented using Structured Analysis and object orientation in two companion papers. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
