"This book addresses the changes in systems engineering (SE) prompted by the current industrial environment. Elements of importance in this environment are the shift towards data collection, availability and use in the design and development of systems and also in the later life-cycle stages of use and retirement. In addition, the book addresses the issues in a system in which the system involves data in its operation, contrasting with earlier approaches...

Hauptbeschreibung Das Buch beschreibt praxisorientiert und systematisch das gesamte Requirements Engineering (RE) -von der Konzeption über die Projektarbeit bis hin zur Pflege eines Produkts. Grundsätzliche Methoden, Verfahren, Werkzeuge und Notationen des RE werden übersichtlich behandelt und durch Beispiele aus der Projektarbeit illustriert. Die 4. Auflage vertieft Themen wie RE für Services und Solutions, den Übergang von Anforderungen...

Every parent is concerned when a child is slow to become a mature adult. This is also true for any product designer, regardless of their industry sector. For a product to be mature, it must have an expected level of reliability from the moment it is put into service, and must maintain this level throughout its industrial use. While there have been theoretical and practical advances in reliability from the 1960s to the end of the 1990s, to take into...

Model-based Systems Architecting is a key tool for designing complex industrial systems. It is dedicated to the working systems architects, engineers and modelers, in order to help them master the complex integrated systems that they are dealing with in their day-to-day professional lives. It presents the CESAMES Systems Architecting Method (CESAM), a systems architecting and modeling framework which has been developed since 2003 in close interaction...

"Systems Engineering Principles and Practice is a national standard textbook for the study of traditional systems engineering for advanced undergraduate and graduate students. It addresses the need for an introductory overview, first-text for the development and acquisition of complex technical systems. The material is well organized, readable and fundamental to learning how to think like a systems engineer and carry out best practices in the field....

This work provides an understanding of the human factors issues encountered in the design, implementation, and evaluation of products and systems. Emphasizing the close relationship between basic theory and application, the authors offer a framework for the research process.

"This is the first book specifically devoted to process systems engineering for the production of biofuels. It covers a wide range of topics associated with the process engineering of biofuels production, including thermodynamic modeling, process design and control, reaction engineering, separation and purification of biofuels obtained from different processing routes and feedstocks. The book is divided into two Parts; Part One begins with an overview...

This volume seeks to answer the question: "Can findings from cognitive science enhance the user-computer interaction process?" In so doing, it recognizes that user-computer interfaces (UCIs) are often essential parts of an information or decision support system -- and often critical components of software-intensive systems of all kinds. From the outset, the authors note that the design, prototyping, and evaluation of user-computer interfaces are part...
