If engineering is the art and science of technical problem solving, systems architecting happens when you don¿t yet know what the problem is
The third edition of a highly respected bestseller, the art of systems architecting provides in-depth coverage of the least understood part of systems design: moving from a vague concept and limited resources to a satisfactory and feasible system concept and an executable program
The book provides a practical, heuristic approach to the "art" of systems architecting
It provides methods for embracing, and then taming, the growing complexity of modern systems
New in the third edition: -five major case studies illustrating successful and unsuccessful practices -information on architecture frameworks as standards for architecture descriptions -new methods for integrating business strategy and architecture and the role of architecture as the technical embodiment of strategy -integration of process guidance for organizing and managing architecture projects -updates to the rapidly changing fields of software and systems-of-systems architecture organization of heuristics around a simple and practical process model a practical heuristic approach to the art of systems architecting extensively rewritten to reflect the latest developments, the text explains how to create a system from scratch, presenting invention/design rules together with clear explanations of how to use them
The author supplies practical guidelines for avoiding common systematic failures while implementing new mandates
He uses a heuristics-based approach that provides an organized attack on very ill-structured engineering problems
Examining architecture as more than a set of diagrams and documents, but as a set of decisions that either drive a system to success or doom it to failure, the book provide methods for integrating business strategy with technical architectural decision making
