Yes systems engineering, you are a disciplineJoseph KAsser
Systems engineering is currently characterized by conflicting and contradictory opinions on its nature. The paper begins by describing the evolution of systems engineering in the National Council on Systems Engineering (NCOSE)/ International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) and the difficulty in defining and differentiating systems engineering as a discipline. The paper then identifies and discusses six different and somewhat contradictory camps or perspectives of systems engineering. After identifying the cause of the contradictions the paper suggests one way to reconcile the camps is to dissolve the problem to distinguish between the activity known as systems engineering and the role of the systems engineer with a return to the old pre-NCOSE systems engineering paradigm. The paper then continues by testing the hypothesis and shows that systems engineering is a discipline that can be differentiated from other disciplines. However, it is not a traditional engineering discipline.

3. What is component?
• The component case
– Many definitions
– Some known ones:
• software component is a unit of composition with contractually
specified i t f
ifi d interfaces and context dependencies only. A software
d t td d i l ft
component can be deployed independently and is subject to
composition by third parties.

• A software component is a software element that conforms to a
component model and can be independently deployed and composed
without modification according t a composition standard

Different stages of a component lifecycle
• Modelling. The component models provide support for the
modelling and the design of component-based systems and
components.
• Implementation. The component model provides support for
generating and maintaining code. The implementation can stop with
the provision of the source code or can continue up to the
code,
generation of a binary (executable) code.
• Storage & Packaging Since components can be developed

separately from systems, there is a need for their storage and
packaging – either for the repository or for a distribution
• Deployment & Execution. At a certain point of time, a component
is integrated into a system. This activity happens at different points
of development or maintenance p

3 Derived properties. A property of an assembly depends on
several different properties of the components.
– P(A) = f(SA, …Pi(Cj)…), i=1…m, j=1…n
– Pi = component properties
– Cj = components
4 Usage-depended properties. A property of an assembly is

determined by its usage profile.
– P(A,U) = f(SA, …Pi(Cj,U)…), i=1…m, j=1…n
– U = Usage profile
5 System environment context properties. A property is
determined by other properties and by the state of the system
environment.
– P(S,U,X) = f(SA, …Pi(Cj,U,X)…), i=1…m, j=1…n

38. Conclusion
• From the results we can recognize some recurrent patterns such as
– general-purpose component models utilize client-server style
– Specialized domains (mostly embedded systems) pipe & filter is
the predominate style.

• Summary
– The classification framework helps in understanding component models

– Enables comparison
– Can be used as a check-list when development new component models
