Finally, it provides an overview of team projects where students apply the architectural approach by developing various viewpoints based on real-world case studies, including an exploration of the Enterprise Mobility viewpoint.
Prerequisites for Continuous Software EngineeringTeemu Karvonen
The CRUSOE framework provides a holistic approach for analyzing the prerequisites for continuous software engineering (CSE) in software-intensive product development. The framework addresses seven key areas: strategy, architecture, organizing, and their interdependencies both internally and as part of an ecosystem. It was used to study CSE prerequisites in a case involving the development of a smartphone platform. Interview findings suggested prerequisites included customer education and motivation, ecosystem support, leadership commitment, processes for experimentation and quality assurance, and synchronizing development with strategic planning. The framework systematically categorized CSE prerequisites and helped clearly articulate them for the case study project.
This document provides an introduction to systems engineering. It defines systems engineering as an interdisciplinary approach that focuses on defining customer needs, documenting requirements, and enabling the realization of successful systems through design, validation, and considering the complete problem. Systems engineering integrates all disciplines into a team effort to develop products that meet user needs. The document discusses how systems engineering emerged to manage complexity and reduce risks associated with new systems. It also discusses systems thinking, systems engineering leadership, and professional development.

Editor's Notes
Hello and welcome to this introduction to the International Council on Systems Engineering, also known as INCOSE. We will also talk about the Pittsburgh-area “Three Rivers Chapter” of INCOSE.
Today, we’ll speak of three topics:Systems Engineering, and why it is important; INCOSE; and how you can engage with INCOSE.
We deal with systems every day. Our cars are systems. Our cell phones are systems that are part of a larger telecommunications system. Our companies are systems. Systems are any integrated composite of people, products, and process brought together to provide a capability and satisfy a need or objective.Systems Engineering is just a disciplined manner of creating and supporting systems. It is an interdisciplinary approach to enable the realization of successful systems.
Systems Engineering has a holistic perspective. It involves looking at a problem in its entirety, taking into account all the facets and all the variables. By being involved in every phase of a project, from concept through development, delivery, operation, and ultimate disposal, it integrates all the other disciplines and specialty groups into a team effort following a structured development process. This enables you to truly understand, document, and communicate the customer’s needs at the start of the project, with a clear path toward a design to meet them and to verify and validate that they have been met.
Systems Engineering is important because mistakes are expensive. As seen here, the Conceptual stage of system development consumes only 8% of the total system life cycle cost. But in that Conceptual stage, decisions have been made that define 70% of the system’s life cycle cost. Clearly, it is important to get the conceptual design right.Also, as a system progresses through its life cycle, mistakes become more difficult and expensive to fix. A mistaken understanding of customer needs may be easy to fix in the Conceptual stage. In the Design stage, fixing that same mistake will cost 3 to 6 times as much. Fixing it during the Development stage can cost 20 to 100 times as much. And fixing it during the Production stage can cost 500 to 1000 times as much. Clearly it is important to identify defects and rectify them as early as possible.Systems Engineering provides the disciplined process to help you get the early work done correctly, and to identify and resolve errors at the earliest possible time. Systems Engineering allows you to manage complexity and change to avoid costly errors. Since implementing Systems Engineering in your organization is a cost, and the benefits are often cost avoidance, it is sometimes hard for management to see the tangible benefits or believe that they would have had to pay more if they had not implemented Systems Engineering.
Some studies have shown that increasing Systems Engineering effort on projects decreases the variance in project completion cost and schedule. Based on a sample of a number of real projects, the graph on the left shows that as Systems Engineering increases toward 15% of the total development cost, not only does the cost overrun of the projects decrease, but also, the variance in cost decreases. With more Systems Engineering, we get not only more economical projects, but more consistent and more predictable projects. The graph on the right shows that the same relationship holds true for project schedule. With more systems engineering, your projects get done faster, and your schedules are more reliable.INCOSE is now working on additional studies with the Department of Defense and IEEE to greatly expand the understanding of Systems Engineering effectiveness and return on investment.
So let’s talk some more about INCOSE.
INCOSE is a professional society who’s mission is to “share, promote and advance the best of systems engineering from across the globe for the benefit of humanity and the planet”.Its vision is to be the world’s authority on Systems Engineering.
INCOSE is a relatively young organization. It was started in 1990 as the National Council on Systems Engineering. In just 5 years, it had attracted sufficient attention globally that it became necessary to re-charter the organization as the International Council on Systems Engineering. Today, INCOSE has over 8000 members. INCOSE is organized as a not-for–profit corporation. I NCOSE management is performed by an elected Board of Directors, with the assistance of a Member’s Board representing the interests of the members, and a Corporate Advisory Board providing advice from the corporate perspective.Several companies in the Pittsburgh area are actively involved with INCOSE directly. Ansaldo STS and Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute serve on the Corporate Advisory Board, advising INCOSE on the needs of companies and helping to set the direction for Systems Engineering internationally.
Just as Project Managers can earn certification in their field according to education, experience, and verified knowledge, Systems Engineers can similarly earn certification.INCOSE has three progressive levels of certification: Associate, Certified, and Expert Systems Engineering Professional. The first two are achieved by education, experience, and tested knowledge, while the last requires extensive experience and a panel review. The CSEP-Acquisition is a discipline-specific extension to the CSEP certification.More and more companies are now factoring certification into their hiring requirements as it gives independent, objective evidence of a potential new-hire’s qualifications.
INCOSE hosts two international gatherings each year.At the International Workshop, working Groups which have virtually met throughout the year via teleconference and web-conference have the opportunity to meet and work face-to-face to coalesce their efforts. The International Workshop is held annually in the January or February timeframe.The next International Workshop will be held in Phoenix, AZ, on January 29 through February 1, 2011.INCOSE also sponsors an International Symposium annually, typically in the June or July timeframe. This is a great opportunity for INCOSE members to come together to network, learn, and teach. The next symposium will be June 20 – 23, 2011 in Denver, CO. The 2012 International Symposium will be held in Rome, Italy.
Finally, we come to INCOSE chapters. There are currently 61 active chapters worldwide.The main role of chapters is to facilitate professional networking and information exchange, be a source of local activities, contribute to working groups, disseminate announcements and news, and develop local initiatives.
Early in 2010, three local INCOSE members decided to explore the creation of a Pittsburgh-area chapter of INCOSE. They met a few times then pulled together a chapter-formation core team and chapter advisory committee. They met several times and, based upon a membership list provided by INCOSE, issued an introductory email and survey of interest. Based upon the overwhelming response they held their first meeting on 27 May 2010. Normally in the formation of a new Chapter it takes months or years to build sufficient membership to apply for a Chapter Charter. The Three Rivers Chapter accomplished this at its first meeting with 29 members – a feat never before achieved within INCOSE. This testifies to the desire for sharing of information and knowledge among the region’s Systems Engineers. Three Rivers Chapter meetings are typically held in the evening of the fourth Thursday of each month. Meeting locations rotate among the member companies, but are often at Ansaldo STS. The meeting format includes three parts: A “networking period” where attendees can discuss issues and ideas interesting to the group, A brief business meeting to discuss the affairs of the Chapter, and A technical presentation on a topic of interest. For its contribution to the Systems Engineering Community, the Three Rivers Chapter sponsors the Systems Engineering Effectiveness Working Group. This working group is participating in a study with the National Defense Industrial Association and the IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society to study the quantifiable impact of specific Systems Engineering activities on project performance. Through this work they hope to develop a framework of Systems Engineering best practices that can be deployed to the benefit of all Systems Engineers.
So, how can you become a part of these exciting activities?
If you’re not already an INCOSE member, you can join.
