ESI 2.20 Course system architecting
ESI offers a four-day course on system architecting. This is a valuable extension of ESI's knowledge transfer portfolio.
Target audience
The target audience consists of (potential) architects and stakeholders that cooperate intensely with the architect, such as project leaders, product managers, and group leaders. The maximum number of participants is 16.
Vision
The course is based on a specific vision on the role of a system architect. According to that vision a system architect is responsible that a system fits in the context and that a system has a sound design. The architect collaborates with many other people in the product creation, such as project leaders, product managers, and more specialized engineers. The architect needs a significant amount of technical and non-technical know-how and a lot of skills to perform this job.
Viewpoints
The course follows the principle of viewpoint hopping. Time boxing is applied: a suitable amount of time is reserved for each viewpoint, typically half a day. The following viewpoints are covered:
- Tasks and responsibilities of architects;
- Basic reasoning ( the CAFCR framework: functional view);
- Basic reasoning ( the CAFCR framework: conceptual and realization Views);
- Basic reasoning ( the CAFCR framework: Customer and Application Views);
- Cross-view architecting;
- Business processes and organization;
- Product families and platforms.
The course involves a significant amount of activity by the participants to work on an architecture case.
Updates
Our courses are regularly updated to include new material and incorporate attendee feedback. The course now contains new results from the ESI research projects (for example, the A3 approach) and a new architecture case around a wirelessly connected camera.
