The Engineering Design of Systems: Models and Methods (Wiley Series in Systems Engineering and Management)

About this book

Systems engineering is the design of a complex interconnection of many elements to maximize performance. As such the science relates to all fields of engineering. While systems engineering has always played an important role in industrial and military applications advances in communications and computer technology have made this discipline especially relevant. This book introduces design methods and models used by systems engineers in the real world. It offer a comprehensive integrated treatment that includes modeling underlying design principles and the process of optimization for peak performance.
