ABSTRACT

General challenges associated with system architecture engineering N Challenges commonly observed in practice with the performance of system architecture N engineering Challenges observed with major current system architecture engineering methods N Reasons for improved system architecture engineering methods N

Both system architecture engineering (as a subdiscipline of systems engineering) and system architecture engineering methods should help system architects rise to meet these challenges. e Method Framework for Engineering System Architectures (MFESA) was developed to produce such system architecture engineering methods.
