Abstract. This lecture presents a Model-Based System Architecting (MBSA) framework that has recently been published as a chapter in the Handbook of Model-Based Systems Engineering. The MBSA framework facilitates the specification of architecture as a reasoning process – a series of conceptualization and decision-making activities, backed up by an MBSE environment. The framework captures both the ontology of a stakeholder-driven and solution-oriented system architecture, and the process of growing the architecture as a series of conceptualization steps through five ontological domains: the stakeholder domain, the mission domain, the capability domain, the Tradespace, and the solution architecture. Our MBSA approach shifts the modeling focus from recording to conceptualizing, exploring, decision-making, and innovating. In comparison to an “offline” architecting process, our approach may initially require a bigger effort but should enable stronger stakeholder engagement, clearer architectural decision point framing, quicker exploration, better long-term viability, and increased model robustness. We show how the framework was applied for modeling and analysis of a mission architecture. We will discuss the implementation of the framework using both Object Process Methodology (OPM) and the Systems Modeling Language (SysML). We will also discuss the suitability of this framework for functional analysis in accordance with the FAST methodology.
