Matrix of Implementation Examples

Lead Authors: Heidi Davidz, Alice Squires, Tom Hilburn, Contributing Authors: Alex Lee, John Brackett, Richard Turner

The following matrix maps the Systems Engineering Implementation Examples to topics in the Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge (SEBoK). It provides both a list of systems engineering implementation examples for topics of interest, and a list of relevant topics for each implementation example. Since the number of topics in the SEBoK is extensive, only a subset is included here for clarity. For additional information, see the example of interest and the corresponding SEBoK topic.

Organization and Mapping of Examples to the SEBoK

The following short titles shown in Table 1 are used for the implementation examples:
