Multi-Objective System Architecting & Design- course

The ESI offers a three-day course on Multi-objective Embedded Systems Architecting and Design, based on the CAFCR framework. This framework is a multi-view method that helps system architects to combine gathered information into a coherent overview.

Target audience
The target audience consists of (potential) architects and specialized engineers who have a system focus. The maximum number of participants is 16. We aim for teams of 3 to 5 participants from the same business. They work together in applying the theory on one of their products.

Participation with other companies / in-house
Participation is possible in two different ways:
 
1)    together with other companies. Participation is combined with 2 or 3 other non-competitive companies. Each company applies the theory on one of their own existing or future products, while experiences will be shared at several moments during the course.
 
2)   in-house. The course will take place in your own company where you will work on your own existing or future products. The maximum number of participants is 16.

CAFCR model
The CAFCR model is a decomposition of an architecture description into five views:
The Customers objective view (what does the customer want to achieve) and
the Application view (how does the customer realize his goals) capture the needs of the customer. The what and how customers view provide the justification (why) for the specification and the design.
The Functional view describes the what of the product, which includes (despite its name) the non-functional requirements.
The how of the product is described in the Conceptual and Realization views.

Format
The three-day course has - for the most part - practical components. Each day starts with a short introduction in the distinguished view and sub methods, which help to visualize this view. Next the participants do view exercises for their own application and iterate twice between the technical realization and the customers requirements.
