Description

The SvcV-8 presents a whole lifecycle view of resources (services), describing how it changes over time. It shows the structure of several resources mapped against a timeline.

In addition, this model is useful in support of net-centric (service-oriented) implementation of services. This model can present a timeline of services evolve or are replaced over time, including services that are internal and external to the scope of the architecture.

The intended usage of the SvcV-8 includes:

  • Development of incremental acquisition strategy.
  • Planning technology insertion.

Implementation

The SvcV-8 view can be represented using a SvcV-8 Services Evolution Description diagram which is realized as a time based diagram.
