1.2.6 Systems Engineering versus Software Engineering
I often hear the question: ??? What has systems engineering got to do with software
engineering? ??? especially from software developers. The answer can actually be
found in the previous sections. Nevertheless I want to repeat it here explicitly again.
Software engineering, hardware engineering, process engineering, automation
technique, and so on are all disciplines that develop certain components of a system.
Systems engineering takes a holistic view on the system: the overall architecture,
the correct interplay of the components, the requirements as well as their
implementation and verification, and all the other lifephases of a system, such as
operation and disposal, in addition to the development.
