    Architecture of Complex Systems

    Course Description
    Understanding and managing system complexity is a critical challenge today as
    systems continue to grow in scale and complexity. This course is designed to help
    engineers address changes which induce, propagate, and amplify risk in the
    increasingly complex products and services they are required to develop. Students will
    get a solid grounding in complex systems, analysis of complex systems, and
    complexity management.

    What You'll Learn


     Motivate the need for system architecture by articulating the ideas of minimized
    rework and by offering examples of complexity in modern systems.
     Contrast several definitions of system architecture and construct a personal
    definition from your career examples.
     Differentiate systems thinking from other kinds of "thinking;" define a system,
    and articulate examples of things that are and are not systems. Apply system
    thinking to provide a perspective on a given project.
     Describe the architecture of systems and identify both architectural decisions
    and non-architectural decisions.
     Define and illustrate the system boundary and use it to identify system
    interfaces.
     Identify the constituent elements in architecture representations and place
    these in the context of the overall documentation of the system.
     Provide constructive criticism on the system architecture representations of
    others, including checking for completeness and consistency.
     Articulate more solution-neutral and less solution-neutral framings of a problem,
    and evaluate how solution-neutral to be for a given problem.
     Construct a design DSM, either by analyzing the design or by converting a
    graph of the system.
     Construct a process DSM and identify how it is different from a design DSM.
     Given a DSM, apply a sequencing algorithm to sort the components into
    modules or to sort tasks into groups.
     Describe rework and articulate the principles by which an analysis of change
    propagation could be conducted from a database of changes.
     Define the role of the architect and the stakeholders with whom the architect
    should work.
     Define the deliverables of the architect, with references to architectural
    frameworks and your career examples
