Synergistic FACE™ and AADL Modeling to Support Behavioral Analysis

The Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) Data Architecture and Architectural Analysis and Design Language (AADL) are complementary modeling standards, both of which can be represented in SysML using SysML profiles. State Linked Interface Compliance Engine for Data (SLICED) is a behavior analysis tool from Adventium Labs which can evaluate the behavior of FACE™ UoCs augmented with execution details specified in AADL. The FACE, AADL, and SLICED profiles and plugins for MagicDraw SysML enable a streamlined workflow for modeling and analyzing UoCs. This paper describes the relationships between these technologies and describes recommended workflows for using them in concert.
