The extensive use of software technology to integrate other technologies has a significant impact on the product characteristics and on the product creation organization and process. This tutorial provides insight in the relation between software and the system, and it provides insight in the consequences for the product and the organization. Some recommendations are provided to cope with these consequences. Distribution This article or presentation is written as part of the Gaudí project.
