Anyone have a meta-model/reference architecture for ARCADIA?

[Epictetus]

Hi, I would like to introduce the company to Architecture Frameworks, ARCADIA, and Eclipse Capella, via a guided tour of a model.

My idea was to start from Operational Analysis, to show how it can support the business, through concurrent engineering, management of interfaces and organizing sub-contracts through EPBS etc., and better connect from user-needs to engineering. Showing Actors as named points of contact for practically who to contact for things like modeling and architecture, with their job roles.

Then perhaps going into System Analysis, breaking down ARCADIA steps or putting them in the context of business processes (or ISO 15288:2015 processes).

Has anyone already used ARCADIA to deploy ARCADIA? Are there any example models like this?

Hello,

I am not sure I was able to pin down what exactly you need, but here are a few resources for you to look at:

• I would start at these 2 sections of the Capella website:
  Capella MBSE Tool - Training Material
  Capella MBSE Tool - Resources
  They actually contain some of the things I will list already

• The “Toy Catapult” tutorial is a good introduction tool to Capella. You can either build the model or show the diagrams from the web page: A Capella Tutorial

• At the end of the Toy Catapult tutorial there is also a link to a model hosted online: Index

• The “Inflight Entertainment System” example, which comes with the Capella download, is very rich in diagrams but maybe a bit complicated for an introduction session, unless your audience already models

• The “Level Crossing Traffic Control” example can be found here: Capella MBSE Tool - Features It is referenced in the ARCADIA book so if you want to introduce the framework more than the Software, maybe it would be a good idea to look into the book (Model-based System and Architecture Engineering with the Arcadia Method - 1st Edition) and this model

• If you want to see the Capella metamodel, I found 2 ways until now, which are the Github Wiki: Metamodel · eclipse/capella Wiki · GitHub and the representations in Capella Studio (here a is a tutorial, which I still didn’t manage to follow to the end, but is very promising): How to explore Capella meta-model - py-capellambse documentation

• I also recommend the youtube channel of Tony Komar, for some detailed tutorials: Innovating with Capella - YouTube (of course not really an introduction)

Thanks for the links. I got a lot of value from the Innovating with Capella playlists when I was getting started.Though I’m not after any training materials for myself.

Instead, I am after a model, built in Capella, which represents the Organization as the system, deploying Eclipse Capella to support product development. This would then itself be part of the training material for people getting started. It would demonstrate the ARCADIA method, within the Capella tool; A meta-model for ARCADIA. The Operational Capabilities might include “Achieve Business Goals”, “Manage Interfaces”, “Concurrent Engineering”. I’m just surprised that one hasn’t been done yet, and so I’m building one myself.

I discovered the INCOSE Systems Engineering Process Model, which models the standard ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288:2015 System and software lifecycle processes. It’s built on the open-source tool “Archi”, which much like Enterprise Architect uses ArchiMate. This is pretty close to what I was looking for. Though not exactly ARCADIA.
