WHITE PAPER

The evolution of a product line is dictated by changing needs. These changes in needs can come from several sources, such as the market, future business needs, or the desire to introduce new products into the product line. Controlling the...

Two cases are possible for creation: •  Customers asking for similar things resulting in an opportunity to create a product line; • Marketing/Strategy conducts a business case identifying the implementation of a product line strategy. Market research can encompass several...

Along with the definition of black box and white box architectures, the architect must identify the interfaces, external and internal (with external systems, between system functions and between its components). Just as he must ensure that each function and each...

The architect assesses the compliance of the architecture with the priority needs that he must first identify as such. Compliance is then established, initially, with respect to the state of the art and then with respect to the constituents (2nd...

Throughout the architecture design cycle, it is necessary to control the confidence that one can have in the definition of the architecture on the basis of indicators that the architect defines himself or that are given to him, imposed by...

The architect identifies the candidate solutions resulting from the analysis of the white box that can meet the needs according to the principles of collaborative engineering. With the right stakeholders, he defines the criteria for evaluating architectures (e.g. level of...

From the elements collected from the different stakeholders, the architect formalizes logical models of the system, organized according to a system architecture framework. It is the guarantor of compliance with the syntax – more or less formal – given by...

This activity aims to: 1. Specify system behaviors in the form of a functional architecture by identifying and prioritizing internal system functions, defining, and synthesizing existing functional interfaces between these functions through both a functional interaction diagram and a Function...

This activity aims to define the uses of the system. This can be done in 2 steps: 1. We first synthesize all the life phases of the complex system in a life cycle diagram, 2. We then identify the possible...

The analysis of the customer's needs and their translation into requirements that breaks down into 2 main stages: 1. Prioritize the needs of the actors of the system by defining beforehand, in close interaction with the leaders of the project...
