Abstract
Today’s systems challenges involve a desire to apply new approaches to produce and exploit innovative systems much faster and more affordably than ever before. Prior practices are questioned as to their relevance in today’s fast-based society that seemingly identifies new threats on a daily basis. Emerging methods to counter these threats include Mission Engineering, Model-Based System Engineering, and Digital Engineering. While each of these may have relevance to solving particular aspects of stakeholder problems, they all fundamentally share the same integral or resultant attribute at their core: an architecture.
This presentation addresses the vital role that systems architectures play in the midst of the various approaches to creating, modifying, or just understanding a system. While integrated tools, agile practices, new technologies, and different thinking may form the basis of this new age, the old-fashioned notion of a system architecture is still very much involved. An explanation is offered that shows how system fundamentals involving relationships between elements ultimately has to be a shared attribute and ultimately forms the basis for taking our systems thinking to the next level.
