Architectural Complexity

Proposal
Identify the key features:I Components, port, connectors.I Information models, highly structured data.I Specification of behaviour, state machines.I High-level operations, complex where necessary.I Event processing.I Simulation.I Text for definition, diagrams for understanding.
Identify use-cases.
Incrementally extend features as necessary.
