The integration of information technologies dramatically increases the interactions among physical components and processes, generates complex dynamics, and creates component interdependencies unknown in earlier systems. Although development processes for the individual components exist, they remain largely fragmented. Thus, the need for a system‐level discipline and interdisciplinary engineering specialty—engineering of computer‐based systems (ECBSs). The IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on ECBS provides a focus, in conjunction with the efforts of other organizations such as INCOSE, to promote the ECBS discipline, encourage research in the field, and establish a framework for education and training. This paper includes a description of three new methodologies developed and applied in the engineering of several large‐scale computer‐based systems: System Assessments, and Assessment Control Board (ACB); a Systems Integration (SI) Program; and an Engineering Baseline System (EBS).
