Systems engineering is the glue that holds together complex creations and enables them to perform beneficial functions. The current demand for systems engineers outpaces all but a very few other fields, and Gary Langford is eminently qualified to inform those who seek to work or want to work effectively in this crucial endeavor. Engineering Systems Integration: Theory, Metrics, and Methods fills a glaring gap faced when we consider and then carry out systems integration. This book offers a sound approach to planning for systems integration. It treats integration as a fundamental approach based on common-sense rationale. The activities of integration are discussed in a clear and straightforward manner. Gary Langford brings his practical experience in integrating large and small systems to a wide audience in different fields and disciplines. He has woven considerable technical skills honed in industry with the right blend of academics to deliver a much needed and most readable textbook. There is a great need for this book.
