Systems Engineering Context Diagram. Flood and carson 1993 2 diagram defining the highest level view of a system in its environment. Flood and carson 1993 source 1 and 2 flood rl.
Management examining the way the uml can be used to control and manage projects and the uml systems engineering profileprovides general guidance and information on systems engineering that will be useful to the nasa community. It is not a predefined diagram of sysml or uml but a variant of block diagrams9 in the center of the diagram is the system under development. The context diagram graphically identifies the system.
A context diagram is a simple birds eye or helicopter view of a system of interest.
The programmatic and technical details and to lose sight of the broader regional context. A context diagram is a specialised version of a data flow diagram system context diagrams represent all external entities that may interact with a system such a diagram pictures the system at the center with no details of its interior structure surrounded by all its interacting systems environments and activities. Management examining the way the uml can be used to control and manage projects and the uml systems engineering profileprovides general guidance and information on systems engineering that will be useful to the nasa community. It provides a generic description of systems engineering se as it should be applied throughout nasa.
