Emphasis is placed upon the following elements:\n\n- How the systems approach is defined, and how it guides the systems engineering processes\n\n- How systems thinking helps in combination with the systems approach and systems engineering\n\n- Time lines that define the life cycle dimensions of a system\n\n- System properties, attributes, features, measures and parameters\n\n- Approaches to architecting systems\n\n- Dealing with requirements, synthesis, analysis and cost effectiveness considerations\n\n- Life cycle costing of systems\n\n- Modeling, simulation and other analysis methods\n\n- Technology and its interplay with risk and its management\n\n- Systems acquisition and integration\n\n- Systems of systems\n\n- Thinking outside the box\n\n- Success and failure factors\n\n- Software engineering\n\n- Standards\n\n- Systems engineering management\n\nTogether, these top-level aspects of systems engineering need to be understood and mastered in order to improve the way we build systems, as they typically become larger and more complex.\n\nTable of Contents: Definitions and Background \/ The Systems Approach \/ Systems Thinking \/ Key Elements of Systems Engineering \/ The Life Cycle Dimension \/ System Properties, Attributes and Features (PAFs) \/ Measures and Parameters \/ Architecting \/ Functional Decomposition \/ Requirements Engineering \/ Synthesis \/ Analysis \/ Cost-Effectiveness \/ Life Cycle Costing \/ Modeling and Simulation \/ Other Analysis Relationships \/ The Role of Technology \/ Risk Management \/ Testing, Verification, and Validation \/ Integration \/ Systems Engineering Management \/ Project Management \/ Software Engineering \/ Systems Acquisition \/ Systems of Systems \/ Thinking Outside the Box \/ Ten Failure Factors \/ A Success Audit \/ Standards\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-04-25\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031793356\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-79336-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x191cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 125\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Morgan \u0026 Claypool","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47716775559308,"sku":"9783031793356","price":34.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031793356.jpg?v=1776866452","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031793356","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
