System Architecture Resources
The following provide an overview of concepts and approaches to System Architecture and Development.
The terms System Architecture and System Engineering are commonly used in
many disparate ways. We focus on the following.
- Moderate Scale Systems, Large Scale Systems, and Complex Systems that involve people, machines, and information
- Complex System Architecture and Design that balance conflicting needs and missions.
- Top-level concepts that help structure the development process.
- The general reader, with references to more technical details
