Slide 7: Walkthrough of Mapping Documentation • Document as a Web site in the style of a programmers guide – Audience • Audience is software developers • No previous knowledge of AP233 is required • UML diagrams and XML Schemas used to explain how to write a converter – Approach • Develop standalone AP233 document that is independent of DoDAF/CADM mapping • Develop document for each DoDAF View and “link” into the AP233 document • Makes the AP233 documentation reusable for a similar project on SysML, MoDAF, etc. ® Eurostep.ESUKPC20.000049v0.1©Copyright Eurostep Limited

Slide 10: Resulting Tool Interoperability • CADM-AP233 interoperability creates a new path into DoDAF for: – UML/SysML tool vendors – Non-UML tool vendors – Other military AFs • UK MoDAF Enterprise Reference Model • CADM-AP233 interoperability creates a capability to feed DoDAF data down the systems life cycle via other STEP APs – e.g. AP239/Product Life Cycle Support for Support Engineering, Maintenance, Logistics, etc. ® Eurostep.ESUKPC20.000049v0.1©Copyright Eurostep Limited
Slide 11: Recommended Next Steps • Release current software and documentation as open source – With DoD approval, Eurostep will post results as open-source project to which anyone can contribute • Evaluate possibility of validating results in CADM testing forum • Consider expanding CADM-AP233 to cover additional views – Suggest priority aligned with SysML to build on momentum • SysML 1.0 release planned for June 05, consider doing a similar project for SysML-AP233 – SysML partners have prototyping plans ® Eurostep.ESUKPC20.000049v0.1©Copyright Eurostep Limited

Slide 14: Where might we go from here? • Interoperability can be provided through an opensource set of software tools reducing barriers for everyone – The XML community has been very successful at this • Ideas for the information technology – High Level API specified as UML and delivered in multiple programming languages (e.g. Java, C++, C#) – Direct converters for other standard formats (e.g. XMI) – Web services and interoperability hubs on Web ® Eurostep.ESUKPC20.000049v0.1©Copyright Eurostep Limited
Slide 15: AP233 approach • Standardize flexible, extensible information model in ISO – Independent of any tool or modelling approach • Can represent UML, IDEF and non-standard tool languages – Extension via a “classification by external class” concept within the information model itself • makes AP233 suitable as a neutral data exchange standard for Systems Engineering data • leaves room for communities or organizations to tailor AP233 use for specific needs – Designed for data exchange, not for operational system or repository Fewer semantics and rules written into the information model • Breaks concepts down to relatively fine level of detail to support a variety of tools/disciplines ® Eurostep.ESUKPC20.000049v0.1©Copyright Eurostep Limited

Slide 18: AP233 is modular • AP233 is one of the new suite of STEP modular APs – A STEP module is a small, reusable information model from which the larger Application Protocols are created – So, if AP233 doesn’t quite cover something it can be extended by incorporating or creating other small STEP information models ® Eurostep.ESUKPC20.000049v0.1©Copyright Eurostep Limited

Slide 20: AP233 Systems Engineering • AP233 is the Systems Engineering part of the new suite of ISO 10303 STEP Application Protocols built from modules – Shared constructs guarantee interoperability between disciplines such as Systems Engineering, Product Life Cycle Support and Configuration Controlled Design • Defines a formal, strict information model – intended to prevent ambiguity when used for exchange between engineering systems • As part of STEP, AP233 links to standards with a vast scope ® Eurostep.ESUKPC20.000049v0.1©Copyright Eurostep Limited
