UPIA models

A UML Profile-based Integrated Architecture (UPIA) model extends UML with specialized elements for representing enterprise and system-of-systems architectures. They support designing, analyzing, and deploying mission-driven systems while ensuring alignment with enterprise strategies such as Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). Used in IBM's IAM2 solution, UPIA models enforce rigor through OCL constraints and predefined stereotypes, enabling valid, consistent modeling and generating enterprise or DoDAF architecture deliverables.
