D) Early on, requirements only need to be stated for the Acquisition Phase--how the system is going to be used can be described later in the project. System a collection of components - machine, software and human - which co-operate in an organized way to achieve some desired result engineered system an open system of technical or sociotechnical elements that exhibits emergent properties not exhibited by its individual elements. It is created by and for people; has a purpose, with multiple views; satisfies key stakeholders' value propositions; has a life cycle and evolution dynamics; has a boundary and an external environment; and is part of a system-of-interest hierarchy Systems of Systems Every system can be construed as being part of a larger, enclosing system. In the following example, the entire railway system is part of the wider transport system, and interacts in all kinds of ways with the road and air transport networks What is the role of systems engineer? A systems engineer is "a person who practices systems engineering" as defined above, and whose systems engineering capabilities and experience include sustained practice, specialization, leadership, or authority over SE activities. They are often thought of as the "visionaries" of the system Phases of Systems Development Life Cycle: Pre-Analysis Assess the needs, costs, and benefits, and propose alternate solutions Phases of Systems Development Life Cycle: Systems Analysis - Requirements definition Puts goals into defined functions, creates a requirement list. The process of gathering and interpreting facts, to design the most efficient system Phases of Systems Development Life Cycle: Systems Design Outlining the design of each individual system within the project, writing rules, setting protocols, assigning tasks, laying out processes Phases of Systems Development Life Cycle: Development The actual construction, and design of the project by each individual system takes place here Phases of Systems Development Life Cycle: Integration and Testing Brings together all the systems to work as a whole and to evaluate the success of the project. Prototype phase. Analysis of bugs, errors, and faults to improve efficiency and design of the system. Phases of Systems Development Life Cycle: Acceptance, Installation, and Deployment The final stage of development, where the product/project is finalized, and launched into the market/put into function. Phases of Systems Development Life Cycle: Maintenance System is assessed during this stage to ensure that it does not become obsolete. Constant improvements, updates, and overlook are applied during this phase. Phases of Systems Development Life Cycle: Disposal Ensure the safe and secure disposal of the system, its subsystems, and proper protection and handling of any sensitive data the system may have contained. Challenges of systems engineering? (WCDA) o Wide range of product/project development times and duration Systems functional requirements? Example? Defines a function of a system of its component. A function is described as a set of inputs, the behavior, and outputs. (Any requirement which specifies what the system should do.) Systems non-functional requirement? Example? a requirement that specifies criteria that can be used to judge the operation of a system, rather than specific behaviors Difference between needs view and requirements view? Needs view projects the goals/needs of a system while requirements view projects the necessary tools, resources, and components to meet those goals/needs Role of systems engineering in product development? Integrate technical effort across the development of a product. Functional disciplines, Technology Domains, Specialty Concerns What are the metrics used for the system's availability requirements? o POFOD - Probability of failure on demand. Probability that the system will fail to complete a service request What is/are the difference(s) between system faults and failures? Support your answer with some examples. o A fault is
a static characteristic of a system such as a loosely fitted windshield on a car, or an incorrect instruction in an operation manual What is fault tolerance? Support your answer with examples. The system can continue in operation in the presence of system faults. Example: A server with a RAID configuration can continue to function even if one of its hard drives fail Define accident An unplanned event or event sequence which results in human death or injury. It may be more generally defined as causing damage to property or the environment Define incident A system failure which may potentially result in an accident Define hazard A condition with the potential for causing or contributing to an accident What are the ethical consideration for systems engineering? o Achieving balance between inherent conflicts What is the difference between machine age and systems age? Support your answer with some examples. o Machine age - Artifacts - Mass production of high volume goods on moving assembly lines, gigantic production machinery What is systems thinking? Support your answer with some examples. o Its essence is seeing inter-relationships rather than linear cause-and-effect chains, and in seeing processes of change rather than snapshots.

Finally, determine whether the argument is sound or unsound. If Queen Elizabeth was born in Los Angeles, then she is a California native. Queen Elizabeth is not a California native. Therefore, Queen Elizabeth was not born in Los Angeles. Verified answer Recommended textbook solutionsNumerical Analysis9th EditionJ. Douglas Faires, Richard L.

What is a technical baseline review?Technical Baselines describe product functions, performance, and interfaces. They enable the underlying design to progress using a common reference. Once a baseline is established, change becomes a formalized process which provides stability during design.
What are the baseline points you would consider?There are three commonly-used baseline points: cost, scope, and schedule. Software applications used by project management professionals typically are designed to maintain and track these three critical baseline measurements.
What does the product baseline describe for software configuration management?"A baseline identifies an agreed-to description of the attributes of a {system} at a point in time and provides a known configuration to which changes are addressed." Establishing baselines and managing changes to baselines are the key functions of configuration management.
