Abstract
This chapter provides the foundations of system architecting. It describes in detail the original three viewpoints of the Department of Defense Architecting Framework and the focus on government systems. It includes descriptions of the updates to the framework and the current set of eight viewpoints, as well as the custom, Fit for Purpose views. Finally the chapter identifies the concept of capability based system acquisition, and the close ties to the architecting process. This process can be expanded to include the requirements of socio-technical system and the data captured in the Human Views.
