Chapter 1Definitions and Background

Eisner, Howard

Pages: 1 –4
LitStream

Chapter 2The Systems Approach

Eisner, Howard

Pages: 5 –8

[In this chapter, we define what is referred to as the “Systems Approach.” We will look at some definitions in the literature but, ultimately, will accept and expand upon this author’s definition. In this regard, the seven elements of the “systems approach” have been set forth as cited and...
LitStream

Chapter 3Systems Thinking

Eisner, Howard

Pages: 9 –12

[We recall, from the previous chapter, that “systems thinking” is listed as one of the features of the systems approach. Thus, systems thinking helps us to carry out that approach as part of the overall discipline of systems engineering.]
LitStream

Chapter 4Key Elements of Systems Engineering

Eisner, Howard

Pages: 13 –16

[The key elements of systems engineering depend upon which approach one takes to the overall application of systems engineering. Three such approaches can be identified: The Process-Oriented Approach (POA).The Model-Based Approach (MBSE), and,The Tailored Activity Approach (TAA). In this chapter,...

Chapter 5The Life Cycle Dimension

Eisner, Howard

Pages: 17 –20

[Most systems are built and put into service on a well-defined time line. Most agencies and companies have a well-defined understanding of the time lines they tend to use, and the various phases that are part of the time lines. In this chapter, we look briefly at three of these time lines and...

Chapter 6System Properties, Attributes and Features (PAFs)

Eisner, Howard

Pages: 21 –23

[We tend to characterize systems by their properties, attributes and features. Some of these can be quite general, like maintainability, and some tend to pertain to various kinds or types of systems. To illustrate, Table 6.1 lists some of these PAFs for (a) an automobile, (b) a house, and (c) a...
LitStream

Chapter 7Measures and Parameters

Eisner, Howard

Pages: 24 –26

[The last chapter cited a variety of PAFs (properties, attributes, features) that were of interest for three types of systems. It was indicated that some of these are measurable and some are not, at least for now. The systems engineer pays special attention to making measurements; this activity...
LitStream

Chapter 8Architecting

Eisner, Howard

Pages: 27 –30

[The overall conception of a system and how it works is set forth in the system’s architecture. Ar-chitecting, a process that leads to the selection of a preferred architecture, is the “front-end” of the system design activity. The “back-end” is simply called the subsystem design [1].]
LitStream

Chapter 9Functional Decomposition

Eisner, Howard

Pages: 31 –34

[The system design process begins with functional decomposition. That is, all of the system’s functions are identified and further broken down into sub-functions. One is careful to deal only with functionality and not the suggested or implied instantiations of these functions. The functions are...
LitStream

Chapter 10Requirements Engineering

Eisner, Howard

Pages: 35 –39

[The area of requirements has been a problem for many years. It seems to be one of the weak points in the systems engineering process, and, collectively, we have had great difficulty in terms of finding real solutions.]
