4. Architecture definition process (INCOSE Systems Engineering)

Introduction

Input	Process	Output
– Life cycle concepts – System function definition – System requirements – System functional interface identification – Updated RVTM – Design traceability – Interface definition update identification – Life cycle constraints	> Prepare for architecture definition > Develop architecture viewpoints > Develop models and views of candidate achitectures > Relate the architecture to design > Assess architecture candidates > Manage the selected architecture	= Architecture definition strategy = System architecture description = System architecture rationale = Documentation tree = Preliminary interface definition = Preliminary TPM needs = Preliminary TPM data = Architecture traceability = Architecture definition record
