Over the past two years, MathSig has been working on a RFC, named UPR:UML Profile for ROSETTA. The RFC is issued in March 2018.

Access to the submission package (including LOI, Specification, XMI, Model Files and etc.) can be found here

This specification of a UML^TM profile adds capabilities to UML for a comprehensive facility to structure information in support of model based analysis for architecture optimization and system design. This extension is called UPR: the UML profile for ROSETTA, in reference to its underlying mathematical foundation (the Relational Oriented Systems Engineering Technology Tradeoff and Analysis framework, for which an overview is provided in Clause 6.2 of the specification). The relational orientation of the framework further supports model transformation between architecture design and detailed system design.

A comprehensive facility has been lacking to support information structuring and integration for architecture optimization and Constraint-Driven Design analysis across distributed domain experts in a system design team. The facility must also support efficient and effective transformation of the system architecture into detailed system design. In current international standards [ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010:2011], system architecture description is conceptualized using elements and relationships between elements.
