Method Framework for Engineering System Architectures

The Method Framework for Engineering System Architectures (MFESA) is a method engineering framework based on situational method engineering, which provides a method for developing appropriate, project-specific system architecture engineering methods. It is primarily developed by Donald Firesmith and first published in 2008.[1]

MFESA is a four-part method framework consisting of the MFESA:

* Ontology defining the key concepts of system architecture engineering and their relationships
* Metamodel defining the foundational abstract supertypes of method components for engineering system architectures including architectural:[2]
* Work products including architectures and architectural representations such as models and documents
* Work units including activities, tasks, and techniques for producing the work products
* Producers including system architects, architecture teams, and architecture tools that perform the work units to produce the work products
* Repository of free, open-source, reusable method components for creating situation-specific system architecture engineering methods
* Metamethod for creating situation-specific system architecture engineering methods by selecting appropriate method components from the repository, tailoring them as appropriate, and integrating them to form the new architecture engineering method
