Dreamers may envision our future, but it is the pragmatists who
build it. Solve the right problem in the right way, mankind moves
forward. Solve the right problem in the wrong way or the wrong
problem in the right way, however clever or ingenious the solution,
neither credits mankind. Instead, this misfire demonstrates a
failure to appreciate a crucial step in pragmatic problem solving:
systems integration. The first book to address the underlying
premises of systems integration and how to exposit them in a
practical and productive manner, Engineering Systems Integration:
Theory, Metrics, and Methods looks at the fundamental nature of
integration, exposes the subtle premises to achieve integration,
and posits a substantial theoretical framework that is both simple
and clear. Offering systems managers and systems engineers the
framework from which to consider their decisions in light of
systems integration metrics, the book isolates two basic questions,
1) Is there a way to express the interplay of human actions and the
result of system interactions of a product with its environment?,
and 2) Are there methods that combine to improve the integration of
systems? The author applies the four axioms of General Systems
Theory (holism, decomposition, isomorphism, and models) and
explores the domains of history and interpretation to devise a
theory of systems integration, develop practical guidance applying
the three frameworks, and formulate the mathematical constructs
needed for systems integration. The practicalities of integrating
parts when we build or analyze systems mandate an analysis and
evaluation of existing integrative frameworks of causality and
knowledge. Integration is not just a word that describes a best
practice, an art, or a single discipline. The act of integrating is
an approach, operative in all disciplines, in all we see, in all we
do.
