Design Activities

• Architectural design
  • Identification of the sub-systems and abstract specification of their services and their constraints
• Abstract specification
  • For each sub-system, an abstract specification is produced
• Interface design
  • For each sub-system, its interface with other sub-systems is designed and documented (e.g. using formal methods)
• Component design
  • Services are allocated to different components and the interfaces of these components are designed
• Data structure design
  • The data structures used in the system implementation are designed in detail and specified
• Algorithm design
  • The algorithms used to provide services are designed in detail and specified
