How to Adopt NAF and TOGAF Concurrently: Experiences in C2IS Architecture Design. Description of a Possible Way to Adopt NAF Subviews as TOGAF ADM Products in Regards to Maritime C2IS Architecture Design

This paper reports on experiences from defining the architectural design method related to the definition of a maritime Command and Control Information System (C2IS). The adopted design strategy has chosen TOGAF as architecture development methodology (ADM) and NATO Architecture Framework (NAF) for metamodel and content organization. In order to make TOGAF and NAF work together and address the particular requirements of C2IS, adaptation and tailoring was required. Starting from related works that have been identified applicable mappings between NAF views and TOGAF ADM phases, it is presented here a possible way to adopt the NAF subviews as TOGAF ADM products in regards to C2IS architectural design method. The presented approach takes into account the system development life cycle identified by quality standard adopted for the software development and documentation. The results of this study are reported also in terms of Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) that presents a deliverables oriented decomposition of the products of the architectural design and acts as a correspondence matrix between deliverables and activities. Keywords—Architecture Framework, TOGAF ADM, NAF Views/Subviews.
