The Systems Challenge
The Man-Made World Is Increasingly Populated by Systems
Those Systems . . .
The Systems Challenge
• Mechanical
• Electronic
• Software
• Chemical
• Thermodynamic
• Human organizations
• Biological
Not everything that has parts is a system
• A Service is:
– a feature of a system
– what system users consume
– something that can be measured and be subject to a
service level agreement

Software and systems engineering
• Proportion of software in systems is increasing.
Software-driven general purpose electronics is
replacing special-purpose systems
• Problems of systems engineering are similar to
problems of software engineering
• Software is (unfortunately) seen as a problem
in systems engineering. Many large system
projects have been delayed because of software
problems
Systems and their environment
• Systems are not independent but exist in an
environment
• System 뭩 function may be to change its
environment
• Environment affects the functioning of the
system e.g. system may require electrical
supply from its environment
• Organizational as well as physical environment
may be important
