 INCOSE Definition ( ◦ “An interdisciplinary approach & means to enable the realization of successful systems. It focuses on defining customer needs and required functionality early in the development cycle, documenting requirements, then proceeding with design synthesis and system validation while considering the complete problem”  My Version ◦ System Thinking & Views ◦ Large US Government Systems ◦ Ops Concepts, Requirements, Design/Architecture, Development, Test & Integration, O&M, Disposal  Works with Various Engineering and Science components and Project and Engineering Management ◦ Specialist or Generalist?

 Definition ◦ Discipline of planning, organizing and managing resources to bring about the successful completion of specific project goals and objectives ◦ Project Management Institute (  PMBOK (PM Body of Knowledge) Guide  Management of Schedule, Budget & Performance  Important Elements ◦ Risk Management (Identification & Mitigation), Configuration Management, Quality Control/Assurance, Earned Value, Business & Contract Management

 SE PM ◦ Performer/Contractor vs. Customer/Government  Successful Realizations of Large & Complex Systems requires seamless integration and coordination between SE, Component Engineering & PM Principles ◦ SE may not be cheap  Finding Proper balances requires education, experience and understanding on human factors ◦ It is not all exact science

 Software Engineering  Systems Analysis & Design  Enterprise Architecture  Computerized Engineering Tools ◦ Requirements, Analysis, Design, Architecture, Metrics, Coding  Systems Integration in COTS centric world  Quality Control and Assurance  Customer/User Operational Environment  Contract Administration  General Management and Administration  Human Factors ◦ Arguably the Most important Factor  Customer & Project Environment  Many More

 Structured & Flexible Applications of SE & PM Principles  Engineering & Management of Various System Components ◦ Telecommunications  Telephony, Wireless, Local & Wide Area Networks ◦ Software  CAD, RMS, GIS, AVL, EOC  Decision Making Information Systems  Web & Internet technology  Biometrics  Mobile Applications ◦ Hardware ◦ Security  Computer, Telecom, Software and Physical Security  Biometrics ◦ Facility & Building Component ◦ A/V
