MODAF is an internationally recognised enterprise architecture framework developed by the MOD to support Defence planning and change management activities. It does this by enabling the capture and presentation of information in a rigorous, coherent and comprehensive way that aids the understanding of complex issues.

The audience:

- Enterprise Architects, the principal customers for MODAF views, who need to both correctly interpret standard MODAF views provided to them and to specify and control the tasks required to create new views
- Architectural modellers who need guidance on the creation and interchange of MODAF views (including for example: architecting principles, view coherence rules and tool selection criteria)
- Tool developers and engineers who are implementing architectural data repositories for storing and manipulating MODAF Architecture data elements
- Trainers and educators who require reference material in order to appropriately train and support the previous types of MODAF users
- MODAF users who wish to contribute to the development of MODAF
- Managers who need to understand what views are required to answer their particular questions

The course helps to understand and implement cloud infrastructure based on OpenStack. The participant learns the architecture and capabilities of OpenStack and a variety of installation scenarios.

This course is intended for Post Graduate (or equivalent) level students and will be a combination of lectures and lab sessions (theory and practice).

At the end of the course the student should be able to:

Objective

This training course aims at helping attendees to understand the most used Enterprise Architectures and rules to follow up in their construction to succeed with an appropriate architecture scenario for their organisation.

Thanks to the selection of appropriate architecture layers, components and traceability links that are to be established from the business layer to the technical layer, the resulting enterprise architecture framework allows you a good impact analysis in the face of evolutions of the business decisions and anticipates mutations of the corresponding information system components.

This course is delivered in 2 modules:

First module enables students to gain an overview of the use of MODAF to support acquisition.

Secong module provides an in-depth description of the MODAF views and how they are used in the development of an architecture. It describes how the 6-step process is applied and how information gathered from stakeholders is interpreted within the MODAF model and represented in user-focussed views.

This course gives a solid understanding across all aspects of OMG United Architecture Framework. It does not focus on a specific view or function, but allows the delegates to easily find more information in the documentation and easily understand it.

During the course the delegates will do simple exercises, answer questions, etc...

Sparx Enterprise Architect is usually used during the course, but any other tools can be used instead.

This course is aimed at developers who wish to architect and build enterprise-scale web applications that meet stringent requirements in scalability, reliability, and modularity.

This instructor-led, live training demonstrates a series of common-case problems and shows participants how to efficiently solve them using Zend Framework 2 (ZF2).

Objective : Providing attendees with an overview of the System Engineering Discipline and help them better understand its principles.

This two days course allows participants to acquire a common terminology of the System Engineering, familiarize themselves with the system vision, principles and state-of-the-art procedures according to ISO / IEC 15288 and ISO / IEC / IEEE 42010 standards as well as architectural frameworks of System Engineering such as (DoDAF, MoDAF and NAF...) and how to align their viewpoints using the Enterprise Architecture Frameworks Methodologies such as the Open Group's TOGAF's ADM (Architecture Development Method).

UPDM is an Object Management Group (OMG) initiative to develop a modeling standard that supports both the USA Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) and the UK Ministry of Defence Architecture Framework (MODAF). The modeling standard is called the Unified Profile for DoDAF and MODAF (UPDM).

The Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) is an architecture framework for the United States Department of Defense, that provides structure for a specific stakeholder concern through viewpoints organized by various views.

DoDAF defines a set of views that act as mechanisms for visualizing, understanding, and assimilating the broad scope and complexities of an architecture description through tabular, structural, behavioral, ontological, pictorial, temporal or graphical means.

It is especially suited to large systems with complex integration and interoperability challenges, and is apparently unique in its use of operational views detailing the external customer's operating domain in which the developing system will operate.

Our ED-SOA training focuses on building and analysing an architecture framework that builds upon the SOA reference architecture. Services are used as event generators, signifying a problem or impending problem, an opportunity, a threshold, or a deviation.

This course gives a solid understanding across all aspects of Nato Architecture Framework. It does not focus on a specific view or function, but allows the delegates to easily find more information in the documentation and easily understand it.

During the course the delegates will do simple exercises, answer questions, etc...

Sparx Enterprise Architect is usually used during the course, but any other tools can be used instead.

This course explains the OMG SoaML standards and shows how to model the SOA landscape. It introduces the language and then shows how to discover, design and implement services and infrastructure for SOA.

This course always covers the newest version of the SoaML specification.

Objective : This course aims at helping attendees understand how to put in practice the UAF and NAF enterprise architecture frameworks.

Understanding concepts of the UAF 1.1 in the context of the NATO NAF v4 Architecture Framework is very beneficial as the Domain Meta-model (DMM) of UAF describes various stakeholder concerns associated with a system, such as security, information or measurements through a set of predefined viewpoints and then mapped to the corresponding views in NAFv4.

On the other hand, the Architecture Stages of the NATO NAFv4 Methodology helps to understand how to make use efficiently of the views of the UAF to ensure coherence and completeness while enabling traceability from high-level goals until personal and physical resources that need be deployed to realize them.

Concepts and techniques explained during the course are progressively applied by the attendees using an end-to-end case study and different exercises on it.

Format of the Course

- Interactive lecture and discussion.
- Lots of exercises and practice.
- Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.

This training will teach you how to use SysML, the modeling language for systems engineering. In particular, you will learn about block diagrams for structural modeling of complex systems. You will deepen the sequence diagram, state diagram and activity diagram for dynamic modeling.

You will also learn how to use specific SysML diagrams such as the requirements diagram and the parametric diagram, as well as the concept of allocation. We will also emphasize the need to define a modeling approach, adapted to the business context and the type of system to be studied.

The practice will be done using the Cameo Systems Modeler (MagicDraw) modeling tool from NoMagic.

Teaching method

- Theoretical presentation illustrated with examples
- 50% practical work with Cameo Systems Modeler on a case study throughout the training

One of the fastest growing roles in the IT industry is the IT Business Analyst. Business Analysts are found in almost organizations and are important members of any IT team whether in the private or public sector.

This course provides a clear, step-by-step guide to how the Business Analyst can perform his or her role using state-of-the-art object-oriented technology.

This course is offered in two variants to provide a practical understanding of how systems can be modelled using the newest version of OMG's Systems Modelling Language (SysML) specification. The notation and underlying semantics of SysML are explained in a way that allows students to apply what they learn to any suitable system modelling method or tool.

Objective:

Helping Analysts and Designers of the System Engineering domain to understand how to efficiently gather requirements then go through the embedded software design implementation on the basis of system specifications using UML 2 and SysML.

This 3 days training aims at assisting system analysts to express efficiently their needs and designers to make the appropriate architectural design of the system on the basis of these needs.

The resulting system architecture provides a good level of agility to the embedded system software in face of changes as it allows a coherent traceability of the business rules encapsulated in system functions and those of the usage choices (use cases) of the end-users toward the software implementation level.

With the emergence of very complex distributed systems, complexity of a single system moved to the complexity of the architecture of the group of systems. This course covers the relationship of Software Architecture with Technical Enterprise Architecture. These two areas are interrelated in a way which currently is not well described. For example, splitting complex monolithic system into two systems communicating via web services will trigger substantial changes to both the new systems, and the architecture between them.

This course will cover trade-offs, currently common patterns and solutions for managing complex systems and communication within and between them.

Building complex enterprise applications is very challenging in an ever-changing environment.

Changes in the integration between services or systems will trigger changes in the design of the system. This course covers how to design maintainable, fit to the size and purpose of your organisation service and systems architecture and practical infrastructure.

This course covers common problems with building the landscape of distributed apps, starting from integration problem, infrastructure and modern approaches, to solving complexity issues.

This course explains the pros and cons of each solution (e.g. traditional SOA vs Microservice architecture), available tools (mostly open-source) supporting the development and maintenance, etc..

Course Format

It is mostly discussion (with limited presentations).

In this instructor-led, live training in България, participants will learn how to evaluate different technologies and approaches for the design of a services-based system architecture. The training begins with a discussion and comparison of monolithic systems and service architectures, then digs into the details of microservice architecture.

Participants are given a chance to put their knowledge into practice as they step through the creation and deployment of a set of proof-of-concept microservices built with Spring Cloud, Spring Boot and Docker.
Finally, the relevant infrastructure building blocks are examined to help participants determine the most suitable tools and approaches to use for different organizational requirements.
By the end of this training, participants will have a solid understanding of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Microservice Architecture as well practical experience using Spring Cloud and related Spring technologies for rapidly developing their own cloud-scale, cloud-ready microservices.

Domain Driven Design (DDD) is an approach for handling complex behaviors when developing software.

The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental examination tests knowledge and skills required to construct a basic SysML model of a system. The examination covers model concepts and organization, basic requirements capture and management, structure and behavior models, parametric models, allocation relationships, and use of stereotypes. Using the knowledge and skills covered at this level plus familiarity with a suitable SysML modeling tool, a holder of the OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification should be a productive contributor to modeling tasks performed by a Systems Engineering team employing a model-based systems engineering approach using SysML. The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification is a prerequisite for the program’s two higher levels, and requires the OCSMP Model User Certification as its prerequisite.

This examination (as well as the others in the OCSMP series) tests your ability to apply the knowledge and skills listed here in the context of a model of a system. As you study, go beyond each individual diagram to understand how aspects that it models can influence or affect aspects of the system represented in other diagram types.

This Introduction to Enterprise Architect training course is designed for all persons who wish to use Sparx Systems’ UML modelling tool, Enterprise Architect, for their modelling activities yet are unfamiliar with the features, functions and use of Enterprise Architect.
