The architects of today s large and complex systems all too
often struggle with the lack of a consistent set of principles and
practices that adequately address the entire breadth of systems
architecture. The Method Framework for Engineering System
Architectures (MFESA) enables system architects and process
engineers to create methods for effectively and efficiently
engineering high-quality architecture for systems, subsystems, and
software components.
Meets the Needs of Specific Projects
The book begins by documenting the common challenges that must
be addressed by system architecture engineering. It explores the
major principles answering these challenges and forming the basis
of MFESA. Next, the authors introduce MFESA, including its primary
goals, inputs, tasks, outputs, and assumptions. Then they describe
the fundamental concepts and terminology on which the systems
architecture engineering is founded. This is followed by a
description of each of the ten system architecture engineering
tasks including associated goals and objectives, preconditions,
inputs, steps, postconditions, work products, guidelines, and
pitfalls.
Finally, the book documents the relationship between quality and
architecture, explains the quality model underlying MFESA, and
provides a summary of MFESA method framework, as well as a list of
points to remember and future directions planned for MFESA.
Explains Specific Rationales
Organized as a handy desk reference, this book harnesses more
than 100 years of the authors combined professional experience to
provide extensive guidelines, best practices, and tips on avoiding
possible pitfalls. It presents a direct rationale of why steps are
taken, how things can go wrong, and guidance for how and when to
tailor the model for a system s specific context.
CRC Press is pleased to announce that The Method Framework for
Engineering System Architectures has been added to "Intel
Corporation s Recommended Reading List." Intel s Recommended
Reading program provides technical professionals a simple and handy
reference list of what to read to stay abreast of new technologies.
Dozens of industry technologists, corporate fellows, and engineers
have helped by suggesting books and reviewing the list. This is the
most comprehensive reading list available for professional computer
developers.
