Product Architecture
Product can be thought of in both functional and physical terms
Functional elements:
Individual operations and transformations that contribute to the
overall performance of the product
Factions like: stop paper, or communicate with the host
Physical elements:
Parts, components and subassemblies that ultimately implement the
products function
Chunk:
Major physical building block
Each chunk is made up of a collection of components that
implement the functions of the product
Attributes:
The attribute of a product is the scheme by which the functional
elements of the product are arranged into physical chunks and by
which the chunks interact.

Modularity
The most important characteristic of products architecture is modularity
Chunks
The most modular architecture:
1) Each functional element is implemented exactly with one physical
chunk
2) There are a few well-defined interactions between the chunks

Integral Architecture
The opposite of a modular architecture is an integral architecture
Chunks
The Integral architecture:
1) Functional elements are implemented using more than one
physical chunk
2) A single chunk implement more than one function
2) The interaction between chunks are ill defined

Types of Modularity
Each interface is of a
different type from
the others, so no
interchanging is
possible
There is a common
bus to which the
other chunks
connect via the same
type of interface
