Tutorial Architectural Reasoning Using Conceptual Modeling

abstract Conceptual models are models that are sufficiently simplified to help architects to understand, reason, communicate, and make decisions. The abstraction level of these models ranges from back-of-the-envelope to simple visualizations, mathematical formulas, and limited spreadsheet models. These models range from critical system internals, to life cycle issues, to customer value analysis. In this tutorial, we show and exercise how different representations and views are used complementary to communicate, discuss, and analyze at a level that supports architecting. Main challenge is balance the need for detail to ensure credibility and the need to keep the model limited for the sake of communication, discussion, and analysis.
