'''AGATE''' ('''A'''telierAtelier de '''G'''estionGestion de l''''A'''rchi'''TE'''ctureArchiTEcture des systèmes d'information et de communication''') is a framework for [[Modeling language|modeling]] [[Computer system|computer]] or [[Telecommunication|communication]] [[system architecture|systems architecture]].<ref>{{cite book|title=AGATE v3 Reference Manual|date=5 December 2005|publisher=MINISTÈRE DE LA DÉFENSE|edition=First|url=http://www.ixarm.com/AGATE-framework|accessdate=6 June 2014}}</ref>

It is promoted by the [[Délégation Générale pour l'Armement]] (DGA), the [[France|French]] government agency which conducts development and evaluation programs for weapon systems for the [[Military of France|French military]]. All major [[Délégation Générale pour l'Armement|DGA]] weapons and information technology system procurements are required to document their proposed [[system architecture]] using the set of views prescribed in AGATE.

AGATE is similar to [[Department of Defense Architecture Framework|DoDAF]], promoted by [[United States Department of Defense|U.S. Department of Defense (DoD)]] or [[MODAF]], promoted by [[British Ministry of Defence|UK Ministry of Defence (MoD)]]. However, the fact that the AGATE referenceIt is only available in French seems to limit its use to French weapons systems procurement.

Line 27:

The AGATE [[Metamodeling|meta-model]] is defined using a [[Unified Modeling Language|UML]] representation.

[[Microsoft Visio|Visio]] elements for the AGATE representation are provided by the [[Délégation Générale pour l'Armement|DGA]].

The French government is planning to port AGATE representation to [[Telelogic|Telelogic System Architect]]<ref>{{cite web
