5) Referring to Figure 3.13 (page 75), there may be a number of different systems within an
overall system-of-systems (SOS) configuration; e.g., transportation system, communication
system, and so on. The allocation process for each of these systems is accomplished

8) Interoperability pertains to the ability of different systems, located in the same general user
9) Environmental sustainability pertains to the operation and support of systems, throughout
10) Security pertains to those inherent characteristics of design that will prevent (or at least
deter) one or more individuals from intentionally inducing faults that will destroy the
11) Referring to Section 2.4 (page 38), design criteria constitute a set of “design–to”
Design criteria may be specified in a hierarchical manner, and criteria may be allocated
from the top down as shown in Figures 4.6 (page 109) and 4.8 (page 115). Such criteria are
developed through the identification and prioritization of TPMs (Figure 3.17, page 83), the
identification of the required design characteristics developed through the “relationship
matrix” of the HOQ (see Figure 3.18, page 84), and the identification of DDPs. Design
guidelines (standards manuals) may be developed to assist the designer in his/her day–to–
day activities, and checklists may be used to facilitate the design review and evaluation
task. Reference: Sections 2.4 (page 35) and 4.4 (page 112). Also refer to Appendix A.1 on
page 709 for specific checklist items.
12) Referring to Figure 4.1 (page 103), a specification tree is important to: (a) ensure that ALL
13) Referring to Figure 4.2 (page 105), the “metrics” (or TPMs) for each block in the
functional flow block diagram (FFBD) are determined through the requirements allocation
14) Refer to Figure 4.4 (page 107). As part of the functional analysis and allocation process,
trade–off studies were accomplished, which led to determining the requirements (and
15) Referring to Figure 4.10 (page 118), CAD refers to the application of computerized
methods in the accomplishment of various design–related activities (design layouts and
component part lists, development of three–dimensional graphics models, processing and
16) In selecting an analytical model for application, care must be exercised to ensure that the
considerations identified in Section 4.6.2 (page 119) are addressed. From the development
17) One way to “validate” the model for its application is to select a known (already existing)
design configuration and to utilize the model in assessing the characteristics of this known
20) Referring to Figure 4.8 (page 115), the two right hand columns pertain to (a) general design
requirements, and (b) specific design–related tasks that must be accomplished. Within the
latter category is the accomplishment of various analyses (e.g., functional analysis,
21) Referring to Figure 4.12 (page 122), the objectives in designing such a tool set are: (a) to
select a group of tools that will provide the analyst with enough visibility such that one can
22) Referring to Figure 4.13 (page 124), there are four basic types (categories) of formal design
review discussed throughout this text; i.e., conceptual design review, system design review,
23) Formal design reviews are scheduled at specific points throughout the design process
24) As the design definition process evolves and the various elements of the system are defined
through the functional analysis and allocation process (see Figure 3.25, page 92), trade–off
prime output for the phase. The work to be accomplished is described throughout Chapter 4
(pages 100-127).
