Researching how to Connect Business
and Customer World to Engineering World
abstract
The purpose of most engineering activities is to create a system that satisfies needs of a customer and that satisfies business objectives.
However, the engineering world is technical oriented, where technical decisions tend to be made on technical trade-offs.
The business and customer worlds are social and economical by nature.
One of the objectives of Systems Architecting is to make design decisions in the technical world that are appropriate in the social and economical world.
Our research first of all tries to understand the current practice.
The longer term goal is to enhance the current practice such that we can teach methods and techniques that actually improve current practice.
We use the CAFCR model as a model to understand current practice and as model to develop methods and techniques.
