Introduction
The system design process can incorporate linear thinking, parallel thinking, or both, depending on the nature of the anticipated system, subsystem, or element of a subsystem. The structure, composition, scale, or focal point of a new/incremental system design incorporates the talents and gifts of the designer in either a top-down or bottom-up design style. Is a centralized or distributed approach to processing the best method? Is a symmetrical or asymmetrical topology warranted? Is power or speed the driving criteria? The answer to these questions can lead to a conceptual block diagram that starts the design process, leading to a design specification.
