1. MMC Conceptual Design and Architecture Framework Vision Bryan Allen, aod@ornl.gov Integrated Systems Engineer Oak Ridge National Laboratory MMC Architecture Workshop October 21-22, 1997 Oak Ridge, TN

2. Purpose / Goals z Remind us all of the “big picture” z Make 1st pass at unified system architecture z Make 1st pass at defining functional entities z Encapsulate system design concepts from multiple sources z Stretch thinking “outside of the box” with which we may be individually consumed z Present some new ideas and concepts

3. Approach z Briefly Introduce a Structured Analysis and Design Technique methodology (IDEF0) for potential use throughout the workshop and in the future z Present a number of graphics which encapsulate a high-level, unified view of the MMC functionality

5. What’s Next z Are these the right boxes ? z Pick important boxes to detail z Define relationships and interfaces (APIs) z Define Critical Path, Minimal Working System z Where can we plug in technology ? z Where must we focus ? z Where can we push the envelope ?
