Case Study Introduction and Architectural Framework

Abstract

In order to demonstrate the concepts, principles and notation in Parts 1-3, a case study will be used. This case study is presented in Chapter 13. The current chapter sets the case study in Context by considering the Needs that it addresses in Section 12.1.1. This is followed, in Section 12.2, by the definition of an Architectural Framework that will be used as the main means of presentation of the case study in Chapter 13. This is followed by a discussion of the use of SysML auxiliary constructs in the definition of Viewpoints. Finally, the chapter concludes with a summary and references.
