DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is undertaking one of its most ambitious projects ever-Space Station Freedom. As part of this effort, NASA has started developing computer software that will drive the station's 10 main on-board computer systems. This software will perform critical functions ranging from keeping the station in its proper orbit to maintaining life support of the crew. In contrast with the space shuttle, software development for the station will be highly dispersed, with three prime contractors and scores of subcontractors across the country developing millions of lines of computer software code. This software is meant to last for the station's entire life-three decades. Given the risks inherent in such a large, complex undertaking, the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology asked GAO to determine (1) if independent verification and validation techniques are being used to ensure that critical software meets specified requirements and functions; (2) if NASA has incorporated software risk management techniques into the program; (3) whether standards are in place that will prescribe a disciplined, uniform approach to software development; and (4) if software support tools will help, as intended, to maximize efficiency in developing and maintaining the software.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Third Edition of Essentials of Project and Systems Engineering Management enables readers to manage the design, development, and engineering of systems effectively and efficiently. The book both defines and describes the essentials of project and systems engineering management and, moreover, shows the critical relationship and interconnection between project management and systems engineering. The author's comprehensive presentation has proven successful in enabling both engineers and project managers to understand their roles, collaborate, and quickly grasp and apply all the basic principles. Readers familiar with the previous two critically acclaimed editions will find much new material in this latest edition, including: Multiple views of and approaches to architectures The systems engineer and software engineering The acquisition of systems Problems with systems, software, and requirements Group processes and decision making System complexity and integration Throughout the presentation, clear examples help readers understand how concepts have been put into practice in real-world situations. With its unique integration of project management and systems engineering, this book helps both engineers and project managers across a broad range of industries successfully develop and manage a project team that, in turn, builds successful systems. For engineering and management students in such disciplines as technology management, systems engineering, and industrial engineering, the book provides excellent preparation for moving from the classroom to industry.
