Abstract :
Design of computer based systems (CBS) requires support tools and techniques that can adequately manage the complexity of the underlying engineering activities and processes. In this paper, the primary focus is on the design aspects of the engineering of computer-based systems (ECBS) process. More specifically, it is demonstrated how systems theory and structured knowledge representation concepts can be used to make the system level design more manageable and efficient.
