More About This Title Systems Engineering of Software-Enabled Systems
English
This book presents methods and techniques that can improve the linkages between systems engineering and software engineering. The text is in three parts. Part 1 includes three chapters: Chapter 1 provides an introduction to systems engineering and software engineering; Chapter 2 presents the issues caused by the differences between systems engineering and software engineering development processes and offers opportunities for improvement; Chapter 3 presents the traditional approaches used by systems engineers and software engineers and the differences. Part 2 presents an approach to developing cyber-physical systems that integrates the incremental approach used by systems engineers and the iterative approach used by software engineers. The approach is based on developing system capabilities that will provide the features, behaviors, and quality attributes needed by stakeholders, based on model-based system architecture. Part 3 covers the management activities a systems engineer or software engineer must engage in to manage and lead the technical work to be done. Planning and estimating, measuring and controlling, managing risk, and organizing and leading systems engineering teams are covered.
