System Architecture and Design (SYS650)

Learn the fundamentals of architecting, including practical heuristics for designing good architectures, functional analysis and decomposition, requirements flow-down, open architectures and the use of commercial standards. Benefit from the course's "how-to" orientation and numerous case studies that are used to convey architectural concepts and critical lessons learned. Become familiar with an effective architectural assessment and evaluation model. Explore the linkages between early architectural decisions, driven by customer requirements, and system operation and support. Prerequisite: SDOE/SYS625.
