ABSTRACT
Centric Enterprise Services (CIO, DoD 2006; 2007). However, anecdotal evidence has suggested that a major revision of the DoDAF to support net-centricity has been widely considered to be needed. DoDAF 1.5 was proposed in 2007 to address those needs with a focus on SOA and net-centricity. Indeed, under DoD’s direction, several contractors have begun to design and implement the NCES to support this strategy on the Global Information Grid (GIG). The result is that system development and testing must align with this mandate-requiring that all systems interoperate in a net-centric environment-a goal that can best be reached by having the design languages be subsumed within a more abstract framework that can offer common concepts to relate to. However, as stated before, DoDAF does not provide a formal algorithmically enabled process to support such integration at higher resolutions. Lacking such processes, DoDAF 1.0 is inapplicable to the SOA domain and GIG in particular.
