Abstract :
Modern computer-based systems (CBS) are complex multi-systems connected by complex computer-based communications. Each of the systems is in many cases, also a multicomputer system. The systems in a multisystem can be either geographically distributed or locally connected. Typical examples of CBS are; telephone and communications systems, management information systems (MIS), process control and manufacturing automation systems, space systems, transport systems (car, train, and traffic control), medical instruments, automation systems, and commercial electronics. The paper describes the need for the establishment of new engineering discipline the Engineering of Computer Based Systems (ECBS), the scope of CBS and their context, the context of their engineering, standardization issues of CBS representations, engineering of CBS and its relation to software engineering, and required education and training
