Life CycleCosting forEngineersB.S. DhillonUniversity of Ottawa, Ontario,Canada

The life cycle cost is the sum of all costs incurred during the life time of an item. In today’s global econ-omy, the procurement decisions of many engineeringproducts are not entirely made on initial procurementcosts alone but on their life cycle costs. Past experi-ences indicate that product ownership cost oftenexceeds the procurement cost. Eliminating the needto consult many different sources, this book bringstogether useful life cycle costing concepts for variousindustrial sectors. It explores the economics of lifecycle costing, presents introductory engineering relia-bility and maintainability concepts, and includesnumerous examples with solutions.

Many books and articles have been written on how toidentify the "root cause" of a problem. However, theessence of any root cause analysis in our modern qual-ity thinking is to go beyond the actual problem. Thisbook offers a new non-technical statistical approachto quality for effective improvement and productivityby focusing on very specific and fundamentalmethodologies as well as tools for the future. It exam-ines the fundamentals of statistical understanding,and by doing that the book shows why statistical useis important in the decision-making process.

Emphasizing the use of handcalculations rather than dedicated software enablesengineers and engineering students to understandthe reasoning behind a particular approach, so that asolution can be readily obtained in the absence of acomputer. The chapters cover the general problemsthat engineers encounter during their work and provide detailed solutions to such problems.

SystemsEngineeringFocus onBusinessArchitectureModels, Methods,and ApplicationsSandra L FurtererSouthern Polytechnic State University, Marietta, Georgia, USA

Written to provide business architecture models,methods, and an application for developing businessarchitecture that connects the business to informationtechnology, this book provides a methodology forhow to elicit the information to create business archi-tecture. The book includes a business architectureUML profile that enables the connectivity to the appli-cation and information architecture domains to theapplication solution. It describes the evolution of busi-ness architecture and how business architectureenables an enterprise Lean Six Sigma program andprocess improvement.

SystemsArchitectingA BusinessPerspectiveGerrit MullerEmbedded System Institute, The Netherlands

Focusing on systems architecting for business enter-prises, this practical, scenario-driven guide is derivedfrom industry-training classes taught by the author atthe Embedded Systems Institute in Norway. Suitablefor graduate students and practicing engineers in theindustry, the book places the processes of systemsarchitecting in a broader context by juxtaposing therelationship of the systems architect with enterpriseand management. Written in an approachable style, itincludes end-of-chapter exercises and offers ancillarymaterial online. An instructor's manual andPowerPoint figure slides are available upon qualifyingcourse adoption.


The Art ofSystemsArchitectingThird EditionMark W. MaierAerospace Corporation, Chantilly,Virginia, USA

Eberhardt RechtinExtensively revised to reflect the latest developments,the third edition of this bestselling text explains howto create a system from scratch, presenting inven-tion/design rules together with clear explanations ofhow to use them. The author supplies practical guide-lines for avoiding common systematic failures whileimplementing new mandates. He uses a heuristics-based approach that provides an organized attack onvery ill-structured engineering problems. Examiningarchitecture as more than a set of diagrams and doc-uments, but as a set of decisions that either drive asystem to success or doom it to failure, the book pro-vides methods for integrating business strategy withtechnical architectural decision making.


SystemsEngineeringandArchitectingCreating FormalRequirementsLarry BellagambaTASC, California, USA

This book presents a set of formal requirements—explicit, executable instructions—for systems engi-neering and architecting. Written in Mathematica®,the requirements provide tools to help systems engi-neers and architects accomplish key tasks better,faster, and cheaper. Chapters open with real-worldcase studies and illustrate using formal requirementsto accomplish four key activities: model system behav-ior, make decisions, establish natural languagerequirements, and improve processes. Each chapterends with heuristics that serve as guiding principlesfor doing systems engineering and architecting. Theformal requirements are available online as an opensource library.

Jussi KantolaEvolute Finland Oy, Finland

Waldemar KarwowskiUniversity of Central Florida,Orlando, USA

Covering the emerging field of knowledge serviceengineering, this groundbreaking handbook outlineshow to acquire and utilize knowledge in the twenty-first century. Drawn on the expertise of the foundingfaculty member of the world’s first university knowl-edge engineering service department, this bookdescribes what knowledge services engineeringmeans and how it is different from service engineer-ing and service production. Presenting multiple cul-tural aspects including US, Finnish, and Korean, thishandbook provides engineering, systemic, industry,and consumer use viewpoints to knowledge servicesystems and engineering paradigms.


Cultural Factorsin SystemsDesignDecision Making and ActionEdited by

Robert W. Proctor,Shimon Y. Nof, andYuehwern YihPurdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA

This book brings together an interdisciplinary groupof experts to provide increased understanding of theways in which cultural differences may influence deci-sion making and action. It brings together currentknowledge about decision processes, culture and cog-nition, design of products and interfaces for humaninteraction with machines and organizational process-es culled from a wide variety of sources and puts theminto one comprehensive resource. It examines how todesign systems used by individuals from different cul-tures and accommodate the varied backgrounds thataffect the users’ decisions and actions.

Design ofEnterpriseSystemsTheory, Architecture,and MethodsRonald E. GiachettiFlorida International University,Miami, Florida

Specifically written for graduate and undergraduatecourses, this book provides the knowledge and skillsnecessary to lead enterprise engineering projects. Thebook describes a systematic methodology to designan enterprise system and presents an enterprise archi-tecture that has three views of process, information,and organization. The text includes methods to ana-lyze and design each view and then demonstrateshow to integrate them to arrive at the overall enterprise design. The author also includes enterpriseproject templates in MS Word and Excel, a businessprocess analyzer in Excel, PowerPoint® slides for eachchapter, and solutions for the 200 problems that arepresented in the book.

Modeling andControl ofEngineeringSystemsClarence W. de SilvaUniversity of British Columbia,Vancouver, Canada

This text provides a unified treatment of the modelingof mechanical, electrical, fluid, and thermal systemsand then systematically covers conventional,advanced, and intelligent control, instrumentation,experimentation, and design. It takes an integratedapproach to modeling multidomain systems thatdraws from equivalent circuits, Thevenin’s theorem,and linear graphs. It also presents important aspectsof laboratory experimentation, including control sys-tem instrumentation. The author discusses the use ofMATLAB®, Simulink®, LabVIEW™, and the associatedtoolboxes and includes numerous real-world exam-ples, problems, and exercises.

Contracts forEngineersIntellectual Property,Standards, andEthicsRobert D. HunterRobert D. Hunter Associates,Austin, Texas, USA

Engineers encounter various forms of contracts atnearly every turn in their careers. This book enhancestheir ability to communicate contractual issues tolawyers and then better understand the consequentlegal advice they receive. The text introduces therelated subjects of intellectual property (includingpatents, copyright, trademarks, and trade secrets) andstandards (including conformity assessment andaccreditation). The author also addresses the role ofethics—at both the micro and macro levels—whichrecently has been emphasized in response to the col-lapse of Boston’s Big Dig, the oil spill in the Gulf ofMexico, and the coal mine accident that resulted inthe many deaths.
