Part I provides the information that applies to more than one view. Sections include the documentation roadmap, the template for presenting architectural views, and an MTG systems overview, a directory of architectural elements/components, and a discussion of design rationale. Stakeholders new to MTG should begin by reading the documentation roadmap in Section 1. Part II catalogues the architectural views for MTG. three (3) views are included: decomposition, implementation, and deployment. Information about the purpose and contents of each view is provided in the documentation roadmap, Part I, Section 1. The structure of this document largely follows the Software Engineering Institute’s (SEI) Views and Beyond documentation model. It is substantially borrowed from P. Clements, et. al., 2002, Documenting Software Architectures: Views and Beyond, with adaptations for the MTG initiative.
