Our Strategy and Approach to Systems Engineering Practice

Promote Multidisciplinary Information-Based Design Abstract multiple disciplines to properly annotated information representations. This is the only way to allow communication among disciplines and multiple contextual views. This approach also facilitates much better operation and management of the overall process for systems, products, and organizations. Figure : Business Processes supported by Technology Enable reuse of designs, architectures and business processes through object-relational database storage. 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. 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.
