A Research Report submitted to the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, University of the Witwatersrand, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters in Engineering, 18 October 2019 / The technology advancement of the latter half of the twentieth century and into this century has been the most significant driver of the emergence of Systems Engineering as a critical skill in the development of complex systems. Not only did the advancement of technology affected the products, but, also the manner in which these products are being developed, manufactured, operated, supported and maintained. The challenges confronting many organisations seeking to implement Systems Engineering in their projects are far from trivial. The current practices and culture in most of these organisations often constrain the adoption of Systems Engineering. A survey research was conducted to investigate the status of Systems Engineering at a South African Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) using one of its business unit, namely Defence, Peace, Safety and Security (DPSS) as a unit of measure. The research instrument for the study was developed based on the international standards and capability maturity models of Systems Engineering, to assess the status of Systems Engineering and to investigate whether an association exist between the status of Systems Engineering and a Competency Area or Job Category at DPSS. The results showed that the majority in the Competency Areas within DPSS utilises the specific practices associated with the technical processes of Systems Engineering in their projects and that there is no association between the status of Systems Engineering and Competency Area or Job Category. However, the study also shows that there is still room for improvement. / PH2020

Thesis (M.B.A.)--University of Hong Kong, 1991.

Information systems professionals now face the automation of their own work in integrated computer aided software engineering. Organizations need to achieve all the leverage possible from costly IT implementations to enhance competitiveness, profitability, and survival in a rapidly changing environment. ICASE technology is a part of the infrastructure necessary to meet this challenge but appears to present significant difficulties in implementation.

This research addresses the problem of integrating software at a high level of integration (analysis or design level) using Computer Aided Software Engineering. The assumption is made that the source code of the two applications to be integrated is available in language C or FORTRAN 77. Following the research done by Sandra Pennington (Penn91) and Michele Grieshaber (Grie91) on this subject, a new analysis has been led. Sandra Pennington (Penn91) conceived and proposed an "Integration CASE workbench" to support an integrator in his task of integrating two software. The Integration Source Code Analyzer (ISCA), one of the components of the Integration CASE workbench has been designed and implemented as well as some utilities and features supporting the integration of software. Relevant information is extracted from the source code by a parsing tool. The input to this tool is the source code of the software to be integrated and their call trees generated by the TeamworkjC Rev reverse engineering toolkit. A database of the relevant information is created and can be consulted via the ISCA Display Manager developed using the Motif window manager. The Teamwork CASE workbench provides an interactive environment to lead the analysis and the design of software, automating standard structured methodologies in software development, Some features have been developed to extend the Teamwork capabilities and to import information into its environment. Some new utilities to help the integrator visualize a structure chart around a selected module have been developed and included in the environment using Teamwork User Menus capabilities. The parsing tool embedded in the environment can also be used as a stand-alone tool to lead re-engineering operations on software. / Master of Science
