As engineering systems become more complex and include major elements of software as well as hardware, the approach to design has changed. Sequential design methods are being replaced by concurrent design processes. This has been apparent for some time in engineering applications where ‘control-configured’ solutions involving system integration, embedded controllers and multidisciplinary design issues are important, such as in the aircraft industry. Similar developments can also be found in other fields, such as automotive engineering and robotics. The introduction of integrated systems and the multidisciplinary processes of concurrent design have important implications ...
