Deployment architecture I – allocation to engineering facets
The Federating models for handoff recipe created a set of models, a Shared Model and a separate model per subsystem. The current recipe creates what is called the deployment architecture and allocates subsystem features and requirements to different engineering disciplines. Once that is done, the software, electronic, and mechanical design can begin, post-handoff.
Deployment architecture
Chapter 3, Developing System Architectures, began with a discussion of the Five Critical Views of Architecture. One of these, the deployment architecture, is the focus of this and the next recipes. The deployment architecture is based on the notion of facets. A facet is the contribution to a design that comes from a single engineering discipline (Figure 4.22). A typical subsystem integrates a number of different facets, the output from engineering in disciplines including the following:
- Electronics: Power, motor, analog...
