This book shows the reader how to write a system engineering management plan (SEMP) that reflects the company's identity and is appropriate to most customers' requirements, e.g., MIL-STD-499, ISO 9001, the U.S. Air Force Integrated Management System, and EIA STD 632. The first section of this book provides a brief introduction to the process of developing a SEMP. The remainder contains a source model of a SEMP that is generic in nature. A computer disk is included with the book to provide the SEMP in a form (Microsoft Word) that can be used for the reader's own plan.
Human Systems Management is an important work that integrates knowledge, management and systems into a unified world of thinking and action in business, decision-making and economics. It presents a modern synthesis of the fields of knowledge management, systems science and human organization. A biological rather than mechanistic perspective pervades the text. New and original ideas and approaches are presented with the simplicity and clarity typical of the well-known author.
The next generation of Business Process Management (BPM) methods and tools will support the development of a new generation of service-enabled applications that change and evolve over time. The trend is moving from relatively stable, organization-specific applications to dynamic ones supporting business processes. This book is an outcome of the International Workshop on Business System Management and Engineering (BSME 2010), held in Malaga, Spain, in June/July 2010, in conjunction with the TOOLS 2010 federated conferences and under the aegis of the EU Network of Excellence on Service Software and Systems (S-Cube). The goal of the workshop was to bring together experts in the fields of business process management, service-oriented architectures, and service security to discuss the current state of research and identify new issues, challenges, and research directions. The results of these discussions are reflected in this book.
This new book on systems management discusses important concerns for the development of systems from the perspective of information technology, information systems, and software systems engineering.

Annotation Thsi book jump-starts the educational process, providing the essential concepts and fundamental strategies that are used by UNIX system administrators every day. Offers a thorough and detailed approach to the concepts and methodologies that govern UNIX system management. Covers a wide range of systems topics not covered in any other books on UNIX system administration. Written by an practicing UNIX system administrator with eight years of experience managing enterprise-level UNIX systems. UNIX System Management Primer Plusdescribes in detail the concepts and methodologies that govern UNIX system administration. Its focus is both analytical and task-oriented. It covers the entire lifecycle of a system, from design to decommission, and explores the readers role as an administrator. Topics not usually covered in more specific books are discussed, such as collocation facilities, user communication, and disaster recovery. The focus of this book is "how to be a system administrator," not "how to administer your system." Jeffrey S. Horwitzhas worked with UNIX systems for over eight years, both as a user and an administrator. He has administered a wide range of systems, from single-user workstations to highly tuned enterprise database servers. At the University of Michigan, he managed several campus UNIX services for over 65,000 users. In the ISP world at LaserLink.Net and Covad Communications, he managed over 150 servers providing e-mail, dial-up, and billing services to over 800,000 users across the country. Currently he is the manager of production systems at TargetRx, Inc., where he maintains their entire UNIX infrastructure, having designed and built it from scratch. Jeff holds a B.S in Cellular & Molecular Biology from the University of Michigan, is an active member of Usenix and SAGE, and is a Sun Certified System Administrator.
Golomshtok gives system admins a solid understanding of the fundamental concepts behind WMI, enabling them to rapidly develop custom management tools and avoid expensive off-the-shelf solutions.
