Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. 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. …

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This volume of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series contains all the papersaccepted forpresentation atthe 11thIFIP/IEEEInternationalWorkshop on Distributed Systems: Operations & Management (DSOM 2000), which was held at the Thompson Conference Center, The University of Texas, Austin, Texas, USA, from 4 to 6 December, 2000. DSOM 2000 is the eleventh workshop in a series of annual workshops and it followsin the footsteps ofhighlysuccessful previous meetings, themost recent of whichwere held inZurich, Switzerland (DSOM 99), Delaware, USA (DSOM 98) andSydney, Australia(DSOM 97).The goalof the DSOMworkshops is tobring together researchers in the areas of network, systems and services management, from both industry and academia, to discuss recent advances and foster future growth in this e ld. In contrast to the larger management symposia, such as IM (Integrated Management) and NOMS (Network Operations and Management Symposium), the DSOM workshops are organized as single-track programs in order to stimulate interaction among participants. The speci c focus of DSOM 2000 is Services Management in Intelligent Networks', re ecting the current interest and development in the el d of d- tributed, networked application services, their de nition, operation and m- agement. Most of the papers presented at the workshop address some important aspect of this broad problem area. This year we have departed slightly from the traditional DSOM format. We have introduced two sessions devoted to the presentation and discussion of papers that describe work-in-progress. 276 pp. Englisch.…
