Definition[]

System design is the

“ [t]ranslation of customer requirements into comprehensive, detailed functional, performance, or design specifications, which are then used to construct the specific solution.[1] ”
“
(1) a specification of the structure of the system, including the component view, the information view, and the computational process view.
(2) a breakdown of system functions into sequences (graphs) of subfunctions assigned to nominal component subsystems, coupled with a specification for the information and materials that must be available at the component interfaces in order for the subfunctions to be accomplished.[2]
