Derived from industry-training classes that the author teaches
at the Embedded Systems Institute at Eindhoven, the Netherlands and
at Buskerud University College at Kongsberg in Norway, Systems
Architecting: A Business Perspective places the processes of
systems architecting in a broader context by juxtaposing the
relationship of the systems architect with enterprise and
management. This practical, scenario-driven guide fills an
important gap, providing systems architects insight into the
business processes, and especially into the processes to which they
actively contribute.
The book uses a simple reference model to enable understanding
of the inside of a system in relation to its context. It covers the
impact of tool selection and brings balance to the application of
the intellectual tools versus computer-aided tools. Stressing the
importance of a clear strategy, the authors discuss methods and
techniques that facilitate the architect's contribution to the
strategy process. They also give insight into the needs and
complications of harvesting synergy, insight that will help
establish an effective synergy-harvesting strategy. The book also
explores the often difficult relationship between managers and
systems architects.
Written in an approachable style, the book discusses the breadth
of the human sciences and their relevance to systems architecting.
It highlights the relevance of human aspects to systems architects,
linking theory to practical experience when developing systems
architecting competence.
