INTRODUCTION TO SYSTEMS ENGINEERING

Introduction to Systems Engineering

The word “system” is used in many areas (e.g. solar system, telephone system, nervous system, transportation system, ecological system, etc.) mainly to convey a meaning of ordering and/or interaction. The systems of interest for Systems Engineering are a specific subset: Engineered Systems. These are defined as “an integrated set of elements, subsystems, or assemblies that accomplish a defined ...

Introduction to Reverse Engineering

This chapter introduces readers to the term reverse engineering (RE), and to the associated techniques that can be used for scanning physical parts. In addition, the chapter presents the process of reverse engineering and the strategy for scanning and converting the scanned data into a 3-D surface or solid model.

Introduction to the modeling and simulation-based systems engineering handbook

Systems engineering—“... an interdisciplinary collaborative approach to derive, evolve, and verify a life-cycle balanced system solution which satisfies customer expectations and meets public acceptability”(IEEE 1998, p. 11)—has been taught and practiced for several decades, and a body of knowledge (http://www.sebokwiki.org/) has been developed to share and centralize experiences and successful...

An Introduction to Recommendation Systems in Software Engineering

Software engineering is a knowledge-intensive activity that presents many information navigation challenges. Information spaces in software engineering include the source code and change history of the software, discussion lists and forums, issue databases, component technologies and their learning resources, and the development environment. The technical nature, size, and dynamicity of these i...
