Executable architecture

Executable Architecture refers to a computer program that can encode and evaluate the essential properties of a system design. The term, "architecture", refers to an abstract description of a system of interest that can be manipulated symbolically or numerically for the purpose of computer simulation execution. In the context of 16.89J, the executable architectures can be run on SpaceNet and other relevant simulation software platforms.
