Abstract

The creation of an adequate architecture is an essential ingredient to develop complex systems in an effective and economical way. In spite of many advances in model-based development, architecture creation still is more art than systematic engineering. This chapter describes a method and tool to support the architectural phase of the development of adaptive systems in a systematic and model-based way. In order to assist architects, the method discerns static decomposition and dynamic behaviours of the system, which are employed to structure the architects’ work. The support encompasses amongst others the systematic generation of possible decomposition structures and the selection of the optimal subsystem decomposition by evaluating dynamic properties in a quantitative way. This method and tool together define and verify static decomposition and dynamic behaviours of the target system, and manage the interactions from various aspects across engineering disciplines. The method and tool are described and demonstrated with a case concerning the systems architecting part of a toner-based printer.

Operational complexity can be thought of as the amount of information needed to soundly operate the system.
 
3
Design complexity can be thought of as the amount of information needed to soundly design the system.

According to Wikipedia, systems architecture is the conceptual model that defines the structure, behaviour, and more views of a system.
 
5
The interval logic applies to temporal relations as well as to spatial relations.
