Abstract

This paper considers systems engineering processes for software systems integration. Systems engineering processes, as intended here, concern how engineering capability should be factored into problem-solving agencies for performance of software systems integration tasks. Systems engineering processes also concern how the results produced by these agencies should be communicated and integrated into a system solution. The environment in which systems integration takes place is assumed to be model-driven. In the proposed solution, problemsolving agencies, working from various viewpoints, employ differing notations and analytical skills. In the course of identifying the systems engineering process, the paper presents a conceptual model of systems engineering, and reviews a classification of impediments to software systems integration.
