Management of modes and states is a wide, complex, and often underestimated part of systems engineering. As systems and missions become more complex, the potential combination of modes and states across system, subsystem, and component levels becomes exponential and difficult to master. This paper proposes a methodological approach for studying and integrating the impact of modes and states on the architecture definition. It establishes the concepts of configuration and situation as keys to analyzing these impacts.
