Model-Based Systems Engineering with GENESYS

Allocation Implications

• Moves the design

• From abstract to concrete • From logical to top-level physical • Creates basis for interface design • Precipitates consideration of physical implications: • Physical limitations (e.g., weight, size, heat) • Resource constraints • Failure detection and recovery • Manufacturability • Maintainability

Define System Architecture (Next Level Decomposition)

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

– Behavior decompositions suggest component architectures, and – Component architectures

suggest behavior decompositions.
