Tomorrow's Systems Engineering: Commentaries on the Profession

This book looks at systems engineering now and comments on the future. It notes the signs of deepening our understanding of the field which includes, digital engineering, interactive model-based systems, decision support frameworks, and points to a grand unified theory. The book also suggests how the systems engineer can be a better designer and architect.

Offering commentaries regarding how the field of systems engineering might evolve over the next couple of decades, Tomorrow's Systems Engineering: Commentaries on the Profession looks at the potential opportunities that might lie ahead rather than making predictions for the future of the field. The book allows the reader to prepare for the future in terms of technical interest as well as competitiveness and suggests opportunities that could be significant and useful for planning actions in the careers of future systems engineers. Discussions of improvements in how we develop and use software that can help to facilitate and protect overall IT capability within the system design and system architecture are also included.

This book is for systems engineers and software engineers who wish to think now about the directions the field might take in the next two decades.

這本書探討了系統工程的現狀並對未來進行了評論。它指出了我們對這個領域的深入理解的跡象，包括數字化工程、互動式基於模型的系統、決策支持框架，並指出了一個宏偉的統一理論。該書還提出了系統工程師如何成為更好的設計師和架構師的建議。

《明日系統工程：對這個專業的評論》提供了關於系統工程領域在未來二十年可能發展的評論，而不是對未來的預測。該書讓讀者在技術興趣和競爭力方面為未來做好準備，並提出了可能對未來系統工程師職業規劃行動具有重要意義和有用性的機會。書中還討論了我們如何改進開發和使用軟件，以幫助促進和保護系統設計和系統架構中的整體IT能力。

這本書適用於希望現在就思考未來二十年內這個領域可能發展方向的系統工程師和軟件工程師。

Howard Eisner spent 30 years in industry and 24 years in academia. In the former, he was a research engineer, manager, executive (at ORI, Inc. and the Atlantic Research Corporation) and President of two high-tech companies (Intercon Systems and the Atlantic Research Services Company). In academia, he was professor of engineering management and a distinguished research professor in the engineering school of the George Washington University (GWU). At GWU, he taught courses in two departments, dealing with systems engineering, technical enterprises, project management, modulation and noise, and information theory.

He has written twelve books that relate to engineering, systems and management. He has also given many lectures and tutorials to professional societies (such as INCOSE - International Council on Systems Engineering), government agencies (such as the DoD, NASA and DOT), and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI). In 1994, he was given the outstanding achievement award from the GWU Engineering Alumni.

Dr. Eisner is a life fellow of the IEEE and a fellow of INCOSE and the New York Academy of Sciences. He is a member of Tau Beta Pi, Eta Kappa Nu, Sigma Xi and Omega Rho, various honor/research societies. He received a bachelor's degree (BEE) from the City College of New York (1957), an MS in electrical engineering from Columbia University (1958), and a Doctor of Science degree from the George Washington University (1966).

Since 2013, he has served as professor emeritus of engineering management and a distinguished research professor at the George Washington University.

Howard Eisner在工業界擁有30年的經驗，並在學術界擔任了24年。在前者中，他曾擔任研究工程師、經理、執行長（在ORI, Inc.和Atlantic Research Corporation）以及兩家高科技公司（Intercon Systems和Atlantic Research Services Company）的總裁。在學術界，他是喬治華盛頓大學（GWU）工程學院的工程管理教授和傑出研究教授。在GWU，他教授兩個部門的課程，涉及系統工程、技術企業、專案管理、調製和雜訊以及資訊理論。

他撰寫了十二本與工程、系統和管理相關的書籍。他還向專業社團（如國際系統工程委員會INCOSE）、政府機構（如國防部、NASA和交通部）以及Osher終身學習學院（OLLI）進行了許多講座和教學。1994年，他獲得了GWU工程校友的傑出成就獎。

Eisner博士是IEEE的終身會士，也是INCOSE和紐約科學院的會士。他是Tau Beta Pi、Eta Kappa Nu、Sigma Xi和Omega Rho等多個榮譽/研究學會的成員。他於1957年獲得紐約市立學院的學士學位（BEE），於1958年獲得哥倫比亞大學的電機工程碩士學位，並於1966年獲得喬治華盛頓大學的科學博士學位。

自2013年以來，他一直擔任喬治華盛頓大學的名譽工程管理教授和傑出研究教授。
