SYSTEMS ENGINEERING AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT — CROSSING THE GREAT DIVIDE

Crossing the phantom divide

We consider fluid perturbations close to the ‘‘phantom divide’’ characterized by p and discuss the conditions under which divergencies in the perturbations can be avoided. We find that the behavior of the perturbations depends crucially on the prescription for the pressure perturbation p. The pressure perturbation is usually defined using the dark energy rest-frame, but we show that this frame ...

Project management vs. systems engineering management: A practitioners' view on integrating the project and product domains

While most Systems Engineering Management (SEM) applications use some subset of traditional Project Management (PM) methods and tools, the actual practice of systems engineering management involves continuous cognitive zigzagging between systems engineering—the product domain—and project management—the project domain. Focusing on seven PM methods, we examine two research questions regarding sys...

Across The Great Divide

Free Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) is licensed to allow users the freedom to copy, reuse, study and develop the software. As a term which efficiently encompasses both ‘free software’ and ‘open-source’ models, FLOSS may offer music practitioners and researchers the opportunity to develop and use such software without becoming mired in a particular stance. In this article, parallels between ...
