Abstract
The Shipborne combat system (SCS) includes many application systems. The integration of application systems is necessary because they are distributed and need to interoperate with each other. For such integration, an integration model needs to be developed. Firstly, the integration framework of application systems of SCS is discussed, which involves three layers: data integration, function integration and workflow integration. Secondly, integration metamodel based on the framework is introduced. Data, application system, function, component, workflow and their relationships are explained in detail. Finally, a system integration modeling language for application system design (SIML4ASD) based on the metamodel is defined by extending UML using profile mechanism. SIML4ASD is easy to learn, use and understand for the system designers and can be used to describe integration models clearly and exactly in multi-view.
