Neuware - The creation of complex integrated systems is, in itself, complex. It requires immense planning and a large team of people with diverse backgrounds based in dispersed geographical locations (and countries) supposedly working to a coordinated schedule and cost. The systems engineering task is not new, but recent scales most definitely are. The world is now capable of designing and manufacturing systems whose complexity was not considered possible 10 years ago. While many are trained to think in terms of a complete system, where 'everything' is designed and produced by a single project team, today such systems involve integrating subsystems and components (which are also complex) that have been developed by other project teams. Inevitably, this introduces additional complexities, involving elements out of the direct control of the project, but which are essential to its overall success.In addition to traditional systems engineering topics of hardware and software design, testability, and manufacturability, there are wider issues to be contemplated: project planning; communication language (an issue for international teams); units of measure (imperial vs. metric) used across members of the team; supply chains (pandemics, military action, and natural disasters); legal issues based on place of production and sale; the ethics associated with target use; and the threat of cyberattack. This book is the first attempt to bring many of these issues together to highlight the complexities that need to be considered in modern system design. It is neither exhaustive nor comprehensive, but it gives pointers to the topics for the reader to follow up on in more detail. …

His research interests are in test economics, system test, and diagnosis. He received his B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. He was appointed to a chair in Test Technology at Brunel University (UK) and then moved to the USA. He became chairman of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, then dean of Engineering & Computing at the University of South Carolina, and recently as dean of Technology at the University of Houston. In addition to his research work, he created the MS degree program in Engineering Management at UT Austin. He has acted as chair of the Organizing Committee of the European Design and Test Conference, general chair and program chair of IEEE International Test Conference and of IEEE International Conference on Computer Design. He has created a number of Workshops including on Test Economics, System Test and Diagnosis, and Production Test Automation.
John W. Sheppard is a Norm Asbjornson College of Engineering Distinguished Professor in the Gianforte School of Computing at Montana State University. His research interests include fault diagnosis/prognosis of complex systems, model‑based and Bayesian reasoning, explainable and ethical artificial intelligence, and distributed population‑based algorithms. He is a fellow of the IEEE, elected 'For contributions to system‑level diagnosis and prognosis'. He received his BS in computer science from Southern Methodist University and his MS and PhD in computer science from Johns Hopkins University. Before entering academia full‑time, he was a member of the industry for 20 years where his prior position was as a research fellow at ARINC Incorporated. He has been a long‑time leader in the IEEE Standards Association, chairing several working groups focused on publishing standards related to complex system test and diagnosis.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
