Abstract
Many systems engineering methodologies have been developed in the past twenty years in order to attack societal problems. Such methodologies generally include the following phases in a system design project:
-
1)
definition of the problem;
-
2)
synthesis of candidate solutions, if any;
-
3)
comparison of alternative solutions; selection of “best” alternative;
-
4)
implementation of solution; etc.
