Introduction

This book is a contribution to the definition of a model based system engineering (MBSE) approach, designed to meet the objectives laid out by the INCOSE.

Complexity and Fundamental Aspects

After pointing out the complexity that jeopardizes a lot of system developments, the book examines fundamental aspects of systems under consideration.

Methodological Approach

It goes on to address methodological issues and proposes a methodic approach of MBSE that provides, unlike current practices, systematic and integrated model-based engineering processes.

Additional Features

An annex describes relevant features of the VHDL-AMS language supporting the methodological issues described in the book.
