ragraph.datasets.architecture_mix#

Graph describing a design problem using objects that need to be designed based on certain aspects. It is part of a set of three design problem graphs, each ideally solved with a different approach – being a modular, integral or mixed architecture.

This particular graph describes a design problem which is ideally solved using a mixed object architecture. That means that the objects are best put into modules with some, but little interfaces across domains with limited crossover (mixing and matching like with a modular approach). Each module should be designed based on all aspects that the objects members posess combined, while taking into account the shared dependencies with other domains. A module’s design solution should be applicable to every member.

Nodes are of kind “object” or “aspect_1”, “aspect_2”, and “aspect_3”. The numbers represent different aspect domains. An “incidence” kind edge from an object to an aspect means that it posesses that aspect.
