Representing Advances in Systems Engineering by Using an Electronic Process Guide

ystems Engineering is a discipline that never stops growing. Systems Engineers are just like students or life-long learners who have to keep themselves up to date with new best propositions. With recent additions of novel concepts in systems engineering such as Social Networking concepts, Value-Based Requirements Prioritization, and Program Model, it is often challenging to translate these concepts into practices. An Electronic Process Guide (EPG) for Incremental Commitment Spiral Model (ICSM) aims to define clear systems engineering practices by providing necessary roles, tasks, step-by-step practical guidance to perform each task, and input, output, and supporting artifacts. This paper introduces the advances in systems engineering field and reports on how this EPG helps in expediting the learning process and supports the process authors in continuous maintenance and enhancement of the process guide
