Our Strategy and Approach to Systems Engineering Practice

Promote use of Technology-Independent System-Level Design Representations We want to create system-level design representation that are not tied to an underlying implementation technology. This can be achieved, in part, through separate representations for the logical and physical design. Figure : Provision for Fomalization and Early Detection of Errors Goal. Hardware and software implementations and specific technology selections are ``pushed'' near the very end (i.e., delayed as long as possible), but are performed once and must work flawlessly.
