|---|---|
| How do we design a new system and choose its architecture? | Develop linked use and system concepts (SYSE.2), construct functional and implementation alternatives (SYSE.5), and decide the architecture and when to reopen it (SYSE.6). |
| Which observations, memory, commands and execution conditions can make a control design feasible? | Choose observations and internal state (CAD.5); use the planning-and-feedback branch (CAD.1–CAD.4) when that separation is useful. |
| Should we build, buy, commission, reuse or combine ways to obtain a result? | Compare ways to obtain the result (SYSE.24), including integration, capability, support and eventual replacement. |
| How do we keep a system fit for use or restore it after a failure? | Maintenance Engineering and Management. |
| How do we make a changing body of knowledge usable in real work? | Knowledge-Corpus Access Engineering. |
| How can systems exchange usable meaning when their sources disagree or change? | Semantic Integration Engineering. |
| Which contributions are missing between a local action and the intended whole? | Method-vertical examples (Engineering.Reference:25.1): a worked explanation with links to the full methods. |
| How do we change an AI agent’s execution procedure and test it in work? | Construct and revise the procedure (SYSE.47), then use representative work to test the agent and its support (SYSE.46) when that evidence is needed. |
The Engineering Architectural Reference helps when the question spans several contributions. It explains their connections and leads to full methods; a known sufficient pattern can be used directly.
