ARCADIA

ARCADIA =

ARChitecture Analysis and Design Integrated Approach

“Model-based engineering method for systems, hardware

and software architectural design”

Developed by Thales between 2005 and 2010 through an

iterative process involving architects of all business domains

ARCADIA promotes a viewpoint-driven approach (as described

in ISO/IEC 42010) and emphasizes a clear distinction between

need and solution

Capella provides 3 basic demonstration viewpoints

• Mass,

• Price,

• Performance (Latency)

Combined with Kitalpha, it also provides an API for

viewpoint development
