Software is usually prominent in modern systems architectures and is often the glue for integrating complex system components. Software engineering and systems engineering are not merely related disciplines; they are intimately intertwined; see Intertwined Disciplines and the SEBoK.
The SEBoK explicitly recognizes and embraces the intertwining between SE and SwE, which includes defining the relationship between the SEBoK and the Guide to The Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK), which is published by the IEEE (Abran et al. 2004). [external link: http://www.swebok.org]
This knowledge area describes the nature of software, provides an overview of the 2004 SWEBOK Guide, describes the concepts that are shared by systems engineers and software engineers, and indicates the similarities and difference in how software engineers and systems engineers apply those concepts and use common terminology in similar and different ways.
Topics
The Systems Engineering and Software Engineering knowledge area contains the following topics:
- The Nature of Software
- An Overview of the SWEBOK Guide
- Software Engineering and Systems Engineering: Similarities and Differences
