Capability configuration (UPDM - MODAF aliases)
Creation
To create a Capability Configuration:
• From an Architectural Description or Service Description: right-click the Architectural Description or Service Description, point to New, point to MODAF, point to System, and then click Capability Configuration.
• From a Capability Configuration : right-click the Capability Configuration, point to New, point to MODAF, point to System, and then click Capability Configuration.
• From an SV-1 Resource Definition, SV-1 Resource Definition, SV-5 Function to Operational Activity/Service Function Definition, or SV-9 Technology and Skills Forecast Definition: click the Capability Configuration toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Appearance
When shown on an SV-1 Resource Definition, SV-1 Resource Definition, SV-5 Function to Operational Activity/Service Function Definition or SV-9 Technology and Skills Forecast Definition, a Capability Configuration appears as follows:
When shown on an SV-1 Resource Interaction Specification or SV-2 Resource Communications Description, a Capability Configuration appears as follows:
Relationships
The following relationships are of importance to a Capability Configuration:
• UML Generalizations define Capability Configuration inheritance (SV-1 Resource Definition).
• Forecast relationships link a Capability Configuration to forecasted future Capability Configuration elements.
• Is Capable Of Performing relationships link a Capability Configuration to Function elements that the Capability Configuration can perform.
• Implements relationships link a Capability Configuration to the Node and Security Domain elements it implements.
• Used as a type for Resource Port and Resource Role elements.
• Used as a conveyed classifier for Operational Exchange elements.
The following sections provide information about how a Capability Configuration is used in the model.
