The System Architecture Process
The purpose of the System Architecture Process is to provide the Integral Technical overview and consistency, and to maintain the integrity over time. Subjective characteristics as elegance and simplicity are key elements of a good architecture.
The scope of the system architecture process is illustrated by showing 5 views used in a reference architecture, ranging from Customer Business to Realization.
