Synopsis

The Engineering Design of Systems

Comprehensive resource covering methods to design, verify, and validate systems with a model-based approach, addressing engineering of current software-centric systems

The newly revised and updated Fourth Edition of The Engineering Design of Systems includes content addressing model-based systems engineering, digital engineering, digital threads, AI, SysML 1.0 and 2.0, digital twins, and GENESYS software. The authors explore system and software-centric architecture, allocations, and logical and physical architecture development, including revised terminologies for a variety of subsections throughout.

Composed of 15 chapters, this book includes important new sections on modeling approaches for middle-out engineering, reverse engineering, and agile systems engineering, with a separate section on emerging trends within systems engineering to explore the most update-to-date methods. The authors include comprehensive diagrams and a separate chapter on a complete exercise of the System Engineering process, ranging from the operational concept to integration and qualification.

To aid in reader comprehension and retention of concepts, the text is embedded with problems at the end of each chapter, along with relevant case studies.

Sample topics covered in The Engineering Design of Systems include:

• Structural system models to executable models, verification and validation on systems of systems, and external systems and context modeling
• Digital engineering, digital threads, artificial/augmented intelligence (AI), stakeholder requirements, and scientific foundations for systems engineering
• Quantifying a context and external systems’ model, including intended and unintended inputs, both deterministic and non-deterministic
• Functional architecture development, logical and physical architecture development, allocated architecture development, interface design, and decision analysis for design trades

The Engineering Design of Systems is highly suitable as a main text for undergraduate and graduate students studying courses in system engineering design, systems architecture, and systems integration. The text is also valuable as a reference for practicing system architects, systems engineers, industrial engineers, engineering management professionals, and systems integrators.
