How Do You Know When You Are Done?

• Decompose behavior in sufficient detail • When a function can be uniquely allocated to a single component STOP DECOMPOSING • When a function cannot be uniquely allocated to a single component CONTINUE DECOMPOSING IT FURTHER • Preserve inputs, outputs, performance, and exits (i.e., preserve behavior) throughout decomposition and allocation • Refine the physical architecture concurrently, as required

The objective is congruence between behavioral and physical architectures

Defining the System Architecture (Next Level of Decomposition)

• Define the physical entities (e.g., subsystems or “objects”) of the system • Define the hierarchy of the system

Behavior decompositions suggest physical architectures – and – Physical architectures suggest behavior decompositions
