Research in Systems Architecting

abstract Researching architecting methods is a very abstract activity at a large distance from actual product creation. The relation between product creation, architecting, architecting methods and architecting methods research is shown.

The technology management cycle model is explained and mapped on product creation and research. This model is used as the basis to describe an "ideal" research method that is used to study architecting methods.
