Revision as of 14:16, 16 August 2011

  • Part 1: Introduction. This will cover the context, purpose, and scope of the SEBoK, its relationships to overlapping communities of interest, the current status of Version 0.5, and the guidance and plans for progressing to Version 1.0 .
  • Part 2: Systems. This part will discuss the overall nature of systems and systems science, including the basic characteristics of engineered systems and their relations to natural and social systems; and overall concepts, principles, and approaches to SE. It will elaborate on the various types of engineered systems,on the use of models in SE, and on current and emerging SE challenges.
  • Part 3: Systems Engineering and Management. This part will cover the management of SE and its relations to other parts of project and enterprise management. It discusses common lifecycle process models; the various SE activities involved in the processes; and the related SE management activities, including management of risk, quality, products, and services; and their relation to relevant standards.
  • Part 4: Applications of Systems Engineering. This part will elaborate on the special considerations involved in performing SE for various classes of engineered systems, including product systems, service systems, enterprise systems, and systems of systems.
  • Part 5: Enabling Systems Engineering. This part will cover the organizational aspects of systems engineering, who manages and performs systems engineering, as well as organizational considerations such as where systems engineering is housed and competency models for systems engineers. This is the who and the where of systems engineering: Who is responsible for performing and overseeing systems engineering? Where do systems engineering activities reside within an organization?
  • Part 6: Related Disciplines. This part will cover the relations among SE and software engineering, project management, and procurement/acquisition. It will also cover the role of SE in realizing desired levels of and tradeoffs among such desired system properties as reliability, safety, security, resilience, manufacturability, sustainability, and human operability.
  • Part 7: Systems Engineering Implementation Examples. This part will cover the analysis of existing systems engineering case studies in relation to the SEBoK and how well they address specific aspects of the SEBoK. When possible, a discussion will also be provided on any domain-specific implications. For example, does the domain relevant to the case study use different terminology from that found in the SEBoK? Do they have specific focus areas that are different from those discussed in the SEBoK?
