Buede Dennis M., Miller William D. The Engineering Design of Systems: Models and Methods

3d edition, Wiley, 2016. — 592 p. — (Wiley series in systems engineering and management) — ISBN 9781119027904,111902790X.The Engineering Design of Systems: Models and Methods compiles a wealth of information from diverse sources, providing a unique, one-stop reference of current methods and models for systems engineering. This updated edition features important new information on Systems Modeling Language (SysML), more descriptive material on usage scenarios based on literature from use case development, updated homework assignments, and use of the software product CORE to generate the SysML figures.
It takes a model-based approach to key systems engineering design activities and introduces methods and models used in the real world. Features new to this edition include:
The addition of Systems Modeling Language (SysML) to several of the chapters, as well as the introduction of new terminology
Additional material on partitioning functions and components
More descriptive material on usage scenarios based on literature from use case development
Updated homework assignments
The software product CORE (from Vitech Corporation) is used to generate the traditional SE figures and the software product MagicDraw UML with SysML plugins (from No Magic, Inc. ) is used for the SysML figures This book is designed to be an introductory reference and textbook for professionals and students in systems engineering. It is also useful in related courses in engineering programs that emphasize design methods and models.
The Engineering Design of Systems: Models and Methods, Third Edition is designed to be an introductory reference for professionals as well as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students in systems engineering.About the Companion Website
