System Requirements Analysis

__System Requirements Analysis__ gives the professional systems engineer the tools to set up a proper and effective analysis of the resources, schedules and parts needed to successfully undertake and complete any large, complex project. This fully revised text offers readers the methods for rationally breaking down a large project into a series of stepwise questions, enabling you to determine a schedule, establish what needs to be procured, how it should be obtained, and what the likely costs in dollars, manpower, and equipment will be to complete the project at hand. __System Requirements Analysis__ is compatible with the full range of popular engineering management tools, from project management to competitive engineering to Six Sigma, and will ensure that a project gets off to a good start before it's too late to make critical planning changes. The book can be used for either self-instruction or in the classroom, offering a wealth of detail about the advantages of requirements analysis to the individual reader or the student group. * Written by the authority on systems engineering, a founding member of the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) * Complete overview of the basic principles of starting a system requirements analysis program, including initial specifications to define problems, and parameters of an engineering program * Covers various analytical approaches to system requirements, including structural and functional analysis, budget calculations, and risk analysis Content: Front-matter , Pages i,iii Copyright , Page iv List of Illustrations , Pages xv-xxi List of Tables , Pages xxiii-xxiv List of Acronyms , Pages xxv-xxviii Preface , Pages xxix-xxx 1 - Introduction , Pages 1-92 2 - Requirements Foundation , Pages 93-150 3 - The Functional Problem Space Model , Pages 151-357 4 - A Variety of Software Models , Pages 359-416 5 - Joint Solution Space Modeling , Pages 417-493 6 - Universal Architecture Description Frameworks , Pages 495-556 7 - Specification Content Standards , Pages 557-636 8 - Requirements Management , Pages 637-768 9 - Computer Applications , Pages 769-790 10 - Closing , Pages 791-801 Bibliography , Page 803 This book provides the tools to set up a proper and effective analysis of the resources, schedules, and parts needed to successfully undertake and complete any large, complex project.
