System Analysis, Design, and Development: Concepts, Principles, and Practices (Wiley Series in Systems Engineering and Management) Review by whomper
great practical book on SE - not systems analysis
.
.
.
The author wrote this beook because he was concerned that many of the SE textbooks on the market were too philosophical, and decided to channel his energies into creating a text
that reflected his realities as an SE practitioner and program
manager.
The book includes
1) conceptual foundations in SE,
2) HOW TOs,
and
3) practitioner-based knowledge.
Since SE applies to any type of system from Space Shuttles to PDAs, organizations, services etc., Wasson built on the basic SE foundations from aerospace and defense in formulating a fresh new approach that canbe applied to any business domain - construction, communications, financial, medical, educational, transportation, etc.
The 57 chapters are "lesson oriented", developed for upper-undergraduate to graduate level students, focus on specific SE topics, and include two types of exercises: development of general systems, products, and services and organizational centric.
Instructors can take the topics to any level of detail they desire, depending on their audience.
