scope:

This Standard provides an architecture framework for the representation of an MBE. This Standard uses ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010:2011 architecture concepts to present an architectural view of an MBE and its constituent systems. The MBE Framework in this Standard defines the structure of an MBE and its elements. This Standard also provides guidance on using the MBE Framework. All conventions and common practices for describing the architecture of an MBE are within the scope of this Standard. In addition, this Standard provides a prefabricated representation of an MBE and its component systems. Decomposition of the MBE elements into architectural descriptions and specifications is out of scope for this Standard.
