Christian Kreiner · 2015
The TRIDENT ARCHITECTURAL VIEWS pattern is a systematic approach to architecting complex dependable systems. While engineering system functionality through several steps of refinement with full traceability is well established, dependability attributes like functional safety and IT security are hard to control during the creative steps of design. TRIDENT ARCHITECTURAL VIEWS has been mined primarily from best practices in engineering of systems exhibiting functional safety. It provides a three-view framework with Functional, Element, and Composition together with nine relations that guide architecture work for dependable systems.
