The economic, security and societal stakes of the systems created by human beings are such that their final validation must be acquired before reception. These issues justify the setting up of evaluation, justification, verification and validation activities as early as possible and throughout development. All of these activities represent the engineering support node, which all other development activities use to make relevant technical decisions.
This practical guide presents the principles, concepts, activities, methods and approaches for evaluating alternative system solutions (system analysis), verifying, validating and integrating the chosen solution.
This volume of the Engineering and Architecture of Multidisciplinary Systems series is intended for professionals who are in charge of engineering and integration of complex or multidisciplinary systems, teachers and students in the discipline.
