Systems Engineering with CORE

While systems engineering and architecting activities are often classified into four distinct domains, addressing these activities in a concurrent, integrated manner yields tremendous benefits. Utilizing a layered approach to progressively clarify and elaborate all four domains concurrently ensures consistency and completeness. At any time, the project has complete specifications and designs with the level of detail increasing with time.

Requirements

Whether requirements are customer-provided or customer-driven, good requirements analysis and management are essential to delivering a solution that satisfies the stated need. CORE elicits, captures, and manages project requirements while tracing statements of need to the product architecture. Through analysis, the project team identifies areas of ambiguity, conflict, and risk for early resolution or long term management.

Behavior

Behavior analysis provides the insight and inspiration necessary to develop defensible product architectures. Built upon a single underlying executable model and a powerful view generator, our CORE software produces multiple representations tailored to the various analysis activities with guaranteed integrity. Directly executing this model with pushbutton ease provides a dynamic analysis of system performance impossible in requirements tools and drawing packages.

Product Architecture

Defining systems architecture begins with establishing system boundaries and ends with the complete specification to satisfy the requirements. CORE enables the team to construct integrated models to bound the problem space, identify and analyze candidate architectures, specify internal and external interfaces, and allocate design dependent parameters. Integrating architecture with behavior, requirements, and V&V, CORE ensures consistency and establishes an unbeatable basis for expected – and unexpected – product evolution.

Verification and Validation

Verification requirements, verification events, test configurations, test procedures, results – a daunting task. CORE makes V&V a natural extension of the integrated design process. End-to-end traceability, static and dynamic consistency checks, plus a complete verification and test facility simplify the process.
