About this course
A three-day intermediate course on the purpose and practice of systems architecting. It explains why architectures help cope with complexity and what perspectives they provide, and introduces one method — the ADEPT methodology and its contextual, operational, functional, logical and physical framework — including top-down operational modelling, deriving requirements from the functional architecture, interfaces, variants and the relationship between logical and physical architectures. Runs in Zürich and Munich.
