The architecture, called the \"Joint Architecture\", is derived in part from existing real-time control systems and manufacturing systems integration architectures at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The Joint Architecture is under development and not yet complete. It is a hierarchical control architecture and focuses on the control of systems for manufacturing discrete parts by machining. A definition of \"architecture\" has been adopted which includes explicit levels of abstraction, termed \"tiers of architectural definition\", and five elements of architectural definition: (i) statement of scope and purpose, (ii) domain analyses, (iii) architectural specification, (iv) methodology for architectural development, and (v) conformance criteria. This paper gives an overview of the Joint Architecture and describes its two most abstract tiers.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":184633,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1994 Tutorial and Workshop on Systems Engineering of Computer-Based Systems","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127165331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An internationally accepted information model is a major step toward understanding different methodologies in use in different organizations. It can provide a basis for integration of tools that support the several methodologies. The information model describes the static structure of the information used in the systems engineering steps. The information model is structured so that it maps readily to a process model which describes systems engineering behavior: the engineering steps, input and output of the steps, and the sequences, concurrencies, and branches among the steps.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":184633,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1994 Tutorial and Workshop on Systems Engineering of Computer-Based Systems","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133540151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Jololian","doi":"10.1109/ECBS.1994.331681","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ECBS.1994.331681","url":null,"abstract":"The concepts presented in this paper propose a pre-planned and integrated development process for large, complex, and possibly distributed systems-so-called \"mega-systems\". A mega-system is partitioned into systems which are developed very independently but interoperate in an integrated manner to provide comprehensive functionality within an application domain, e.g. in the form of a so-called \"system of systems\". To support this concept, we specify a generic systems integration framework (GenSIF) that provides an additional level of control and coordination for the otherwise independent projects. Based on this idea of a distributed but well-guided systems development effort, a process model that enacts the suggested framework and its system development philosophy is discussed. This process model is a natural extension of already-existing, more traditional development models, and allows the engineer to preserve existing know-how in this area. To support flexibility and easy adaptation, domain modeling and domain architecture design are incorporated into the proposed framework.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":184633,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1994 Tutorial and Workshop on Systems Engineering of Computer-Based Systems","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132771858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
