Abstract:
A new viewpoint on Architecture and Systems Engineering is offered based on domains and mathematical relationships that is concordant with and expressive of the IEEE and INCOSE definition of `system' and the definition of `system architecture' proposed by ISO working group JTC1/SC7/WG42. In this viewpoint, referred to as Relational Oriented Systems Engineering (ROSE), relational models and transformations are the means for abstracting systems engineering concepts and information. Hierarchical paradigms such as `definition and decomposition' can be expressed more precisely by the principle of `model specification and relational transformation'. ROSE can be applied to any systems approach to provide an expression of the approach that is model-based. Ultimately this is a model-based viewpoint that should bring precision with agility to the practice of Systems and Systems of Systems Engineering and a more holistic understanding of the role of Architecture.
