Architecture Analysis & Design Language - AADL

1. The INCOSE Heartland Chapter presents: Architecture Analysis & Design Language - AADL This presentation will introduce AADL, an emerging standardized architecture language for the specification, analysis and deployment of software intensive, critical embedded systems.

2. Architecture Analysis & Design Language Abstract The Architecture Analysis & Design Language (AADL), an SAE AS5506 Standard released in 2004, has a growing and diverse user base, driven by both the well-defined meaning and the language extensibility. The growing interest in architecture modeling, driven by the complexity of systems and the need for safety, security and performance, has created a strong demand for an architecture modeling standard. Similarly, cycle time reduction is provided through architecture analysis, which can be considered “early integration” – in contrast to waiting for physical integration of hardware and software to find out resource allocation and timing issues. The language is precise, yet abstract to support modeling and analysis from concept throughout the life cycle and complements other related efforts like the OMG MARTE, SysML and DoDAF. Biography Mr. John Mettenburg is a Systems Engineer in the Advanced Technology Center at Rockwell Collins. He currently works on the Model Based System Design project. The project goal is to establish the practice (and value) of rigorous architecture specifications for the purpose of advanced analysis, including formal methods. John’s primary interest is embedded systems software development with an emphasis on increasing productivity. He started at Rockwell in 1993 working in the Government System GPS business, left in 1997 and returned to Cedar Rapids in 2001 to re-join the GPS business working on the MUE program. John transferred to ATC in 2005 and has been promoting the AADL as a foundation for software systems architecture modeling and analysis. John received a BSEC from George Mason University in 1986.
