Systems Architecting for Sustainable Delivery of Value

Requirements need be established for architecting a large scale, complex system for sustainable delivery of value to users. In this paper, we describe a general methodology to establish requirements on design of a complex system to provide sustainable delivery of value. The methodology involves a system architecture paradigm, a sustainability analysis, and the derivation of design requirements....

Architecting of Systems of Systems for Delivery of Sustainable Value

Requirements need be established for architecting systems of systems (SoS) for sustainable delivery of value to users. This paper sketches a general methodology to establish such requirements. The methodology involves a system architecture paradigm, a sustainability analysis, a similarity principle, and a derivation of design requirements. The methodology is described in concrete terms as it is...
