Abstract
The classic framework for analysis ultimately follows a series of rules whether or not those rules are consciously applied. The rules usually take the form of: define the problem (system); define a measure of effectiveness; generate alternatives based on analysis; and, weigh and decide. Many methods have been developed and many analytical and quantitative techniques and tools designed for general applications to different models. This paper describes the approaches used in developing the basis for a system design evaluation model. Two well known evaluation cases are modeled, leading to a general model that is then detailed for application specifically to the Navigation Network conceptual designs. Identification of the system attributes and their associated perspectives and the method of scoring and ranking a candidate design are discussed.
