AGATE (Atelier de Gestion de l'ArchiTEcture des systèmes d'information et de communication) is a framework for modeling computer or communication systems architecture.
It is promoted by the Délégation Générale pour l'Armement (DGA), the French government agency which conducts development and evaluation programs for weapon systems for the French military. All major DGA weapons and information technology system procurements are required to document their proposed system architecture using the set of views prescribed in AGATE.
AGATE is similar to DoDAF, promoted by U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) or MODAF, promoted by UK Ministry of Defence (MoD).
Scope
AGATE defines architectural views for systems and systems of systems, covering:
- Stakes and objectives of the system
- Description of the related organizations
- processes and informations flows
- Security requirements, in compliance with DGA policy
- Services of the system, and traceability with operational needs
- Logical architecture of the system
- Physical architecture of the systems, and hardware and software products used in this architecture
- Life cycle of the system
AGATE Views
An AGATE model is organized into 5 views:
- Stakes, Objectives, and context about the system
- Business architecture: describes organizations and Business processes managed by the modelized Information system
- Service-oriented architecture: describes the Services of the system.
- Logical architecture of the system
- Physical architecture of the systems, and hardware and software products used in this architecture
Representation
The AGATE meta-model is defined using a UML representation.
