Telelogic Adds UML 2.1 Modeling to Architect Solutions
11/29/2007
Time-based analysis is accomplished using maps and diagrams within the model, he explained. You can overlay different time-based views, and System Architect uses an interpolation mechanism to come up with the route to get there. You can then modify the route based on what makes best sense for the organization.
System Architect 11.0 also features integration with Microsoft's Visio. It lets Visio users access the System Architect repository, allowing them to do high-level business modeling in Visio, McKorkle said.
As for Tau 4.0, it has been enhanced to enable better simulations in service-oriented architectures. The new version of Tau is able to use SOAP to call and invoke Web services over the Internet as part of the simulation. McKorkle calls that capability a first for such modeling solutions.
"The only way you could do that today is to take WebLogic or WebSphere and deploy a prototype of what you wanted your SOA application to look like and have it spin all of those Web services as part of that prototype," he said. "Now we eliminate all of that, and the model itself becomes the prototype."
Finally, Telelogic added support for various frameworks and models used by the U.S. Department of Defense with the new version of System Architect. The solution now supports the Department of Defense Architecture Framework v1.5, as well as Core Architecture Data Model specifications.
