Systems Engineering
System engineering can best be explained as coordinating multiple tasks within the two disciplines of engineering and engineering management. This paper highlights the systems method of coordinated tasks and its relevance concerning current and future business system life cycles: concept, design, planning, testing, optimization, and deployment. It defines the boundaries necessary for a robust life cycle and analysis to occur.
4. Requirements Types
4.19 Interoperation
This is a measure of how the system fits with other systems. For example, a new airplane with doors that did not fit existing gates, or a computer network that exclusively uses a new protocol that nobody else uses would fail in this parameter. Compatibility is more concerned with the direct interfaces between systems, such as the output of a computer video card matching the input to a monitor. These features are more prominent in the information technology fields because of the sheer number and variety of hardware and software elements which must work together (with varying degrees of success).
