Benefits of Attending

Why should I attend?

In the ultimate goal of Net Centricity DoDAF is the linchpin that holds it together. With ever changing needs for interoperability and constant demands for faster accurate data-sharing, upgrades need to be made to the DoDAF structure.

DoDAF 2.0 is expected to launch November 1st 2008 with all the upgrades needed to bring Net Centricity to the next level. Get a first look at what is on tap for DoDAF 2.0 at IDGA's DoD Architectures - Fall Symposium.

DODAF 2.0 manifests what has been called the data-centric approach to architecting. The essential capability required to be a data-centric approach resides in the establishment, maintenance, and discipline of a formal architecture metadata structure.
