Can Complex Systems Be Engineered?

Recently there has been considerable debate as to whether Complex Systems can be engineered. Can engineering techniques be applied to Complex Systems, or are there fundamental attributes of Complex Systems that would prevent this? A first glance at the Complex Systems literature suggests a negative answer, but this is partly due to the fact that complex systems theorists often look for unstable...

" Architecting Secure Software Systems "

In the first part of the book, the theory part, the authors explain the need for security, security attributes and various attack types. A secure software development lifecycle methodology with its required activities for constructing secure software systems is given in the theory part as well. In the second part, they focus on practical aspects of software security. They provide concrete archi...

Architecting of Systems for

Systems architecting, requirements engineering and model-based systems engineering are the dominant schools of thought in systems engineering today. They evolved in response to each other, partly in agreement and partly in opposition. To some extent they invented their own terminology and semantics. Due to overlaps, systems engineering as a whole lost some coherence of terminology and semantics...
