建立C^3I面向对象体系结构综合可执行模型

Establishing of Synthesizing Executable Models of Object Oriented Architecture of C^3I

美国国防部已颁布了C4ISR(Command,Control,Communications,Computers,Intelligence,Surveillance,and Re-connaissance)体系结构[1],以满足建立军队联合作战系统的需求。面向对象分析是构筑C3I(Command,Control,Communica-tions,Computers,Intelligence)系统体系结构的基本方法,对基于UML(Unified Modeling Language)面向对象体系结构的开发方法作了一般性的描述,它包括三个阶段:分析、综合和评价。指出了用UML产品在描述美国防部C4ISR体系结构方面的一些限制,提出了从UML产品映射到可用于逻辑的、行为的和性能方面体系结构的评价的CPN(Colored Petri Nets)模型的方法,并详细阐述了此转换过程。最后应用实例表明了该方法的可行性和实用性。

The United States Department of Defense （DoD） has mandated the development of Command, Control, Communication, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance （C^4ISR）Architecture to support the acquisition of system that are interoperable and will meet the needs of military coalitions. Object-oriented analysis is a basic approach for the establishment of C^3I system architecture. This paper provides a general description of an architecting process based on the object oriented Unified Modeling Language （UML） that includes three phases： analysis, synthesis and evaluation. It then provides a rational for style constraints on the use of UML artifacts for representing DoD C^4ISR architectures. It was described both a mapping between the UML artifacts and an executable model based on Colored Petri Nets that can be used for logical, behavioral and performance evaluation of the architecture. A procedure for the conversion is also provided. Finally an example demonstrates that such a method is indeed feasible and practical.
