ABSTRACT
Interface analysis is one of the methods by which we arrive at an optimum product entity structure for a system before we commit to its design. We dene precisely where the interface planes are in the system, who is responsible for them, and ensure that the principal engineers responsible for the interface terminals and the media all have precisely the same understanding of the requirements and design concept for each one. In the process, we may affect changes to the system product entity structure derived from allocation of system functionality and inœuenced by the several overlay views discussed earlier. The desired goal is to rene the match between how the design team is organized and how the product system is organized in order to simplify the system development process and assure that we have accounted for all needed system functionality.
