Many current system architecture engineering methods rely heavily on a hierarchical functional
decomposition of systems into subsystems. ese methods fail to capture focus areas as well as the
cross-cutting interactions that drive the complexity of interfaces between subsystems and other archi-
tectural components. Only a small portion of the cross-cutting interactions become sufficiently vis-
ible that associated program risks are identified. Unfortunately, these unacknowledged interactions
drive many of the surprises that most projects encounter during system integration and testing.
