2020-10-21: A New and Sparse Method of System Architecting (Eisner)

Date: Wednesday, Oct 21, 2020

Speaker: Dr. Howard Eisner

Presentation:  Dr. Eisner presented his new method for architecting systems based on his new Book "Systems Architecting Methods and Examples." The four-step method: (1) functional decomposition, (2) synthesis, includes a classic cost-effectiveness analysis (3) analysis, (4) preferred architecture selection. Ground-rules for the overall procedure include simplification, weighted evaluation criteria, and considerations on tradeoff and interoperability.

WHAT IS AN ARCHITECTURE? “An organized top-down selection and description of design choices for all the system functions and sub-functions, placed in a context to assure interoperability and the satisfaction of requirements”
