System engineering is an interdisciplinary field of engineering and
engineering management, which focuses on designing, integrating and
managing complex systems over their life cycles. Fundamentally, it
utilizes the principles of systems theory to organize this body of
knowledge. An engineered system is the outcome of such efforts, a
combination of components that collaborate to collectively perform a
useful function. Systems engineering ensures that all likely aspects of
a project or system are considered and integrated into a whole. It
involves discovering real problems, identifying the most probable
failures and finding solutions to these problems. This book elucidates
the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with
respect to this field. There has been rapid progress in system
engineering and its applications are finding their way across multiple
industries. As this field is emerging at a rapid pace, the contents of
this book will help the readers understand the modern concepts and
applications of the subject.
