each a tender has to fulfil one can readily gain even more insight into the
proposed system. For instance, the number and ―richness‖ of functional
components belonging to the system and their interaction patterns lets one
appreciate the system complexity both in composition and structure but also in
interaction. This information can be gleaned from the functional view (functional
decomposition; interactions), information view (data flow, data complexity), and
the deployment view. That makes judging the overall system complexity easier
during the tender-review phase.
