Systems Engineering       

 
Dr. Raghu Singh offers two timely tutorials:
  1. Systems Engineering, Life cycle Management, and ISO/IEC 15288. Click here for PDF.
  2. Understanding and Applying ISO/IEC 12207. Click here for PDF.

     The system tutorial covers system engineering and life cycle management and presents the application of ISO/IEC 15288 (Systems engineering – System life cycle processes). This tutorial is primarily for those who are too busy with their work and families to get an education in systems engineering but need to apply it right away; it prepares them well for an advanced degree. Managers will benefit from the tutorial if they wish to treat their organizations or programs as systems. Acquirers and suppliers will benefit from the tutorial in forming agreements regarding system products and services. Computer scientists and software engineers will get a broad perspective of systems and systems engineering, to which they are expected to contribute. Applied scientists may use the tutorial to plan and develop their projects as systems. Of course, system engineers and managers should apply it to evolve their systems or study it as a refresher course. Please review the syllabus.
     The software tutorial explains ISO/IEC 12207 (Software engineering – Software life cycle processes) to managers and engineers of software engineering projects and presents its application to the acquisition and supply of software. Please review the syllabus.
     The tutor will mail the host well in advance a CD containing the tutorial slides in Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 for each attendee. The tutor will use a computer and a projector to show the slides. Copies of the standards may be purchased at <sales@iso.org>.   Regardless of the number of attendees, the costs are US $2,000 for the five-day system tutorial and $1,200 for the three-day software tutorial. The host will be responsible for paper copies and a classroom for the attendees and for the tutor’s travel expenses. Alternatively, the tutor can convene a tutorial in the Washington, DC, metro area.
     Please contact Dr. Singh at <raghu.singh@verizon.net> for details and logistics.

About Dr. Raghu Singh:
     Prior to his retirement from the U. S. Civil Service, Raghu Singh served as a physicist, mathematician, system engineer, project manager, and chief scientist for the NASA, Army, Navy, and FAA. He participated in the standardization activities of the DOD, NATO, FAA, IEEE, and ISO/IEC. He presented papers, seminars, and tutorials and published papers in physics, aeronautics, systems engineering, and software engineering.
     Dr. Singh founded the ISO/IEC systems engineering standardization project; as its first convener (chairman), he designed and wrote the first working draft of ISO/IEC 15288:2002. He was the Navy member of the MIL-STD-499B (Systems engineering) working group. As its editor, Dr. Singh designed and wrote the first working drafts of ISO/IEC 12207:1995 and handbook ISO/IEC 15271. He was the project manager of IEEE 12207.0/1/2 development. He was the US member of the NATO AQAP 150/159 (Software quality assurance) working group. As the chairman of the Joint Logistics Commanders’ Systems Engineering Group and Computer Systems Management Group, he managed several standards: MIL-STD-498 (Software development and documentation); DOD-STD-2167A (Software development); DOD-STD-2168 (Software quality program); and associated handbooks and documentation formats (DIDs).
     Raghu Singh has an M.S. in Systems Engineering and a Ph.D. in Physics.
