P8_PLOM Physical Logical Mapping Viewpoint
| Domain | Aspect | Maturity |
|---|---|---|
| Physical | Traceability & Mapping |  released |
Example
Purpose
The Physical Logical Mapping Viewpoint supports the definition of the mapping of conceptual system elements to physical system elements and conceptual exchange types to physical exchange types. This allows to trace how concepts are physically implemented and provides feedback to the System Architecture Definition process to consolidate or confirm the alignment physical implementations with their specifying concepts.
Applicability
The Physical Logical Mapping Viewpoint supports the “Design Definition Process” activities of the INCOSE SYSTEMS ENGINEERING HANDBOOK 2023 [§2.3.5.5] and contributes to the artifact “Traceability Mapping”.
Furthermore, the Physical Logical Mapping Viewpoint supports the “Allocation and Partitioning of Logical Entities to Physical Entities” activities of the INCOSE SYSTEMS ENGINEERING HANDBOOK 2015 [§4.4.2.7].
Presentation
A assignment matrix featuring *Conceptual elements
- Physical Elements
- Realization relationship from physical elements element roles to conceptual elements
Stakeholder
Concern
- From which conceptual item (energy, material, information) is a physical item derived?
- Which conceptual elements are allocated to which physical elements?
