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.
