An interface control document (ICD) in systems engineering [1] and software engineering, provides a record of all interface information (such as drawings, diagrams, tables, and textual information) generated for a project. [2]

Oct 4, 2022 · Interface Design Description (IDD) Unless an IRS specifies all detail necessary to fabricate the interface (hardware) or code the interface (software), interface design decisions must be made in designing the SoI.

Interface Control Document (ICD) is a document that describes the interface(s) to a system or subsystem. It may describe the inputs and outputs of a single system or the interface between two systems or subsystems.

Nov 3, 2017 · In this post, I lay out the pros and cons for using models as ICDs. The simplest argument as to why models are sufficient is that the models can be used in place of UML diagrams provided the interface has the sufficent markup.

This example shows how to configure code generation settings for a model according to specifications in an interface control document (ICD). The example also shows how to store shared Simulink® variables and data objects in a data dictionary.

The purpose of a SW-ICD is to facilitate efficient and timely software development efforts utilizing the expedited process. The SW-ICD is designed to enable modern software development practices and rapidly deliver mission impactful software. SW-ICDs are appropriate for software development only.

In systems and software engineering, ICDs are key artifacts that specify the interface(s) to a system or subsystem, and are used to control the documentation of these interfaces. ICDs enable independent teams to develop connecting systems that use the speci ed interfaces.

May 7, 2018 · How is the ICD used? The ICD provides a baseline for the interface to the software component. Once the ICD has been defined the initial model can be created. This is sometimes called a “shell model.” The shell model has all of the inputs and outputs as …

An Interface Control Document (ICD) describes the interworking of two elements of a system that share a common interface. For example, a communications interface is described in terms of data items and messages passed, protocols observed and timing and sequencing of events.

Jul 6, 2023 · The management of Interface Control Documents (ICDs) has shown to be a major pain point in the architecting processes of Systems of Systems (SoS). This work aims to improve on previously identified ICD management issues using the documentation-as-code philosophy as a potential basis for a treatment, and in collaboration with practitioners.
