Architecture and Function of Complex Systems

System architecture is the study of early decision making in complex systems. This text teaches how to capture experience and analysis about early system decisions, and how to choose architectures that meet stakeholder needs, integrate easily, and evolve flexibly. With case studies written by leading practitioners, from hybrid cars to communications networks to aircraft, this text showcases the science and art of system architecture.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Reflects the MIT Systems Engineering professional program toa big extend
    Reviewed in Germany on May 31, 2018
    My rating is actually between 4 and 5 stars, I was wondering which rating to give, but was in a good mood, so - 5 stars. But it is about 4.5 actually!

    The book is from some of the authors of the quite successful MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) professional certification program in "Architecture and Systems Engineering". Obviously, developing a learning program is not an easy job, and logically it is done only once and used as a structure in both the certification program and the book. The book is recommended in the beginning of the program and I can only echo it - if you already paid the price of the program, get the book in the beginning (and not in the last course, as I did).

    Now about the content. I tend to always compare the content of the MIT program with the book, and surprisingly, I have found that the program provides on some points MORE than the book - DSM for example. The topic exists in the book, but it was much more discussed in the course. So shortly - with the course you will learn more than from the book alone. If you have the book without doing the MIT program, it is still quite good, but consider that you need to do some additional search of information from other sources, as soon you touch some of the topics. I don't have other systems architecture books to be able to compare with, but consider that the content is of very different nature, compared with some openly available handbooks for the topic (like "NASA Systems Engineering Workbook" or "MITRE Systems Engineering Guide"). The book is not an instruction, process definition or guideline - it is a pure educational book.

    The book as a physical object (the one with price of ~62EUR in the moment) looks a little cheap for this price. Not bad, but I feel it somehow fragile and I open it veeery carefully :) I know that the professional literature is quite expensive because of the content, but still I was expecting something more robust. There are also editions for 2x the price, I don't know how they are in terms of book feeling. Another strange thing for me is that the electronic version of the book is almost twice the price of this book. Is it the content different? No idea.

    Overall : if you need a strong introduction of systems architecture and engineering, this is an easy to assimilate material from a very respected institution. It is also quite up-to-date (both the MIT certification program and the book are dated 2016), so also already proficient systems engineers could get something out of it. The systems engineering in general is quite new discipline academically seen. But as activity is as old as multi-discipline engineering is. Most of the practicing systems engineers are actually educated as experts in one discipline and have systems thinking out of the practice and experience. More formalized and structured education in this direction is more and more needed and the book here is a very good source of such. If you can afford the professional program of systems engineering of MIT or another good university - I highly recommend to do it.
