Failure of a design to satisfy a system's requirements can result in schedule and cost overruns. When using current approaches, ensuring requirements are satisfied is often d...
Methods to assess and ensure system usability are becoming increasingly important as market edge becomes less dependent on function and more dependent on ease of use, and as recog...
The engineering of systems that are acceptably correct is a hard problem. On the one hand, semi-formal modelling approaches that are used in practical, large-scale system developm...
This paper reports the results of exploratory research to develop a pilot pattern language for systems engineers at BAE SYSTEMS. The pattern language was designed to encapsulate k...
The conflicting requirements of real-time embedded systems, e.g. minimizing memory usage while still ensuring that all deadlines are met at run-time, require rigorous analysis of...
