High Level - Hardware/Software Flashcards
True or False: Parallel work on high and low level design activities in the system engineering V is discouraged
False
True or False: The engineering of a system involves both the design of the system’s components and configuration items (CIs) and the integration of those CIs and components into a qualified system acceptable to the stakeholders across the life cycle of the system.
True
The left side of the systems engineering V is referred to the ________ and ________ of the system.
Decomposition
Definition
Name the three types of architectures a system can be decomposed into
Functional
Physical
Allocated
True or False: The functional (or logical) architecture defines what the system must do (i.e., the system’s functions and the data that flows between them).
True
True or False: The physical architecture represents the partitioning of physical resources available to perform the system’s functions.
True
True or False: The allocated architecture is the mapping of functions to resources in a manner that is suitable for discrete-event simulation of the system’s functions
True
True or False: Functional and physical architectures are developed independently of each other and then combined to form the allocated architecture.
False
True or False: A prototype is a physical model of the system that ignores certain aspects of the system, glosses over other aspects, and is fairly representative of a third segment of aspects of the system
True
True or False: The exit criterion for the development of the functional architecture is the coherent matching of the input/output requirements with the functions and items in the functional architecture
True
True or False: The Configuration Items (CI)s can be hardware or software elements or combinations of hardware and software, people, facilities, procedures, and documents (e.g., user’s manuals).
True
