Exploring the Relationship between Systems Engineering and Software Engineering

In an effort to explore the relationship between the disciplines of systems engineering and software engineering, professionals from academia, industry, and government gathered for a workshop to deliberate on the current state, to acknowledge areas of inter-dependence, to identify relevant challenges, and to propose recommendations for addressing those challenges with respect to four topical areas: 1) Development Approaches, 2) Technical, 3) People, and 4) Education. This paper presents the deliberations and recommendations that emerged from that workshop, and the proposed project to be launched.
