that only single tool environments are included. e “coordination” aspect may imply an inclusion
of some unspecified mechanism that provides a means for data interchange and/or representation
interchange/sharing/repository. e definition’s coordination aspect also implies some mechanism
to establish consistency between the various work products within the architectural representation.
e “maintenance” aspect within the definition implies that some unspecified mechanism exists
for controlling versions of the work products as the architecture representations mature.
Each program will need to establish appropriate limits for its system architecting tools capa-
bilities. A one-size-fits-a ...
