ABSTRACT

System design is a phase in engineering work that follows the system requirements and analysis phases. Its main goal is to synthesize a complete solution based on the result of the analysis phase, which is actually a rough architecture of the system. The system structure defines the elements of the system and their associations. Sometimes it is referred to as the static structure because it defines the static view of the system, that is, a view without any respect to time. The system behavior defines the outputs of the systems as functions of time or their inputs. The object diagram is similar to the class diagram except that it shows the system frozen at a certain moment of time. Typically, the object diagram will show system objects with the characteristic and important values of certain field members. The designer typically partitions the horizontal system by rendering the deployment diagram and the subsystems deployed on individual nodes.
