Distributed Design of Computer‐Based Systems: Needed Academic Programs
JULIAN C. HOLTZMAN · INCOSE International Symposium · 1993
Abstract This paper summarizes the portion of the panel session on Distributed Design of Computer Based Systems devoted to a discussion of academic programs. Some of the key elements identified by the CBSE Task Force for Distributed Design of Computer Based Systems in both research and practice are briefly reviewed. Academic programs and some comments on supporting research follow. The basic conclusion is that current teaching programs are inadequate in content and emphasis on the Systems Engineering aspects and that university‐based research, in general, lacks a focus on solving problems of significance to practitioners and rarely is “scaleable” to real‐world situations.
