Abstract:

Dr. Eisner will present his new method for architecting systems in this special 1½ hour tutorial. The four-step method: (1) functional decomposition, (2) synthesis, includes a classic cost-effectiveness analysis (3) analysis, (4) preferred architecture selection.  Ground-rules for the overall procedure include simplification, weighted evaluation criteria, and considerations on tradeoff and interoperability.
