    Study Notes

    • The text discusses the Implementation Process Breakout in the context of Systems Engineering.
    • The purpose of this process is to ensure the security aspects of a system element are realized, resulting in a secure system that satisfies specified security requirements, architecture, and design.
    • Security aspects of implementation are developed, and those that constrain the requirements, architecture, or design are identified.
    • Systems elements are securely packaged and stored, with enabling systems or services needed for security aspects of implementation traced.
    • Modeling, Analysis, and Simulation (MA&S) is a crucial aspect of the implementation process, with digital models being the primary focus in the SE discipline.
    • MA&S involves creating a model, examining it systematically, and using it to predict and study behavior or performance through simulation.
    • To manage MA&S data and quality, a purpose, assumptions, and methodology are defined, followed by preprocessing system specifications, building and refining models, and postprocessing results.
    • Performing analysis or simulation using selected tools and computational infrastructure is the next step, followed by validating the models and quantifying uncertainties.
    • Informed decisions are made using the results obtained from the MA&S process.
    • The figure 3.8 shows a schematic view of a generic MA&S process, with various steps being involved in preprocessing, performing analysis/simulation, and postprocessing.
