Beschreibung
Systems engineering is the design of a complex interconnection ofmany elements (a system) to maximize a specific measure of systemperformance. It consists of two parts: modeling, in which eachelement of the system and its performance criteria are described;and optimization in which adjustable elements are tailored to allowpeak performance. Systems engineering is applied to vast numbers ofproblems in industry and the military. An example of systemsengineering at work is the control of the timing of thousands ofcity traffic lights to maximize traffic flow. The complex andintricate field of electronics and computers is perfectly suitedfor systems engineering analysis and in turn, advances incommunications and computer technology have made more advancedsystems engineering problems solvable. Thus, the two areas fed offof one another. This book is a basic introduction to the use ofmodels and methods in the engineering design of systems. It isaimed at students as well as practicing engineers.
The concept of the "systems of systems" is discussedextensively, after a critical comparison of the differentdefinitions and a range of various practical illustrations. Italso provides key answers as to what a system of systems isand how its complexity can be mastered.
