L4_LITI Logical Internal Interaction Viewpoint

Purpose

The Logical Internal Interaction Viewpoint describes System internal behavior based on the exchange between the Logical SOI Elements Usage. It depicts the sequence of interactions between the Logical SOI Elements and the exchanged Domain Item Kinds needed to accomplish a System Partial Function.

Applicability

The Logical Internal Interaction Viewpoint supports the activities of the System Architecture Definition Process” of the INCOSE SYSTEMS ENGINEERING HANDBOOK 2023 [§2.3.5.4] and contributes to the System Architecture description.
