CAF Basics Day1

CAF stands for:

• Common Architecture Framework

• Capability Architecture Framework

• Custom Architecture Framework

The CAF main improvements are:

• Innovation of technologies and decomposition speed

• Reuse approach and development with support of defined profiles

• simplicity of sya development and versatility in defining the views

Which are the abstraction levels?

• Environment, Vehicle, Vehicle System, System Product, Product Component

• Operational, Functional, Logical, Technical, Physical

What is a common signal?

• All signals that are exchanged between functions of different function centers

• All signals that are exchanged between functions of the same function center

What is an internal signal?

• All signals that are exchanged between functions of different function centers

• All signals that are exchanged between functions of the same function center

Builds the fundamental definition for all other repositories with its libraries, models and elements.

• CAF Profile

• CAF Core Model Repositories

• Function Center Reference Repositories

• Platform Repositories

• Project Repositories

With its libraries, models provides all basic required elements and its interfaces to model a standarized and CAF compliant architecture

• CAF Profile

• CAF Core Model Repositories

• Function Center Reference Repositories

• Platform Repositories

• Project Repositories

Provide a set of standarized Feature Models, Communication Models with its interfaces to provide specific content for other FCs and further platforms or projects

• CAF Profile

• CAF Core Model Repositories

• Function Center Reference Repositories

• Platform Repositories

• Project Repositories

Extend the reference repositories with the focus to enhance or specialize a platform specific reference architecture

• CAF Profile

• CAF Core Model Repositories

• Function Center Reference Repositories

• Platform Repositories

• Project Repositories

Used to build a customer specific architecture, it reuses artifacts from reference architecture, platforms and all standarized interfaces from core models
