Abstract
The design process for software-intensive systems including computer science and engineering is discussed. The software-intensive systems are useful in protecting and managing commercial air travel, operating the electric power grid and file tax returns. The design must account for factors such as style and innovation, reaching beyond the requirements for basic functionality to the context in which software-intensive systems exist. It is found that software-intensive systems are complex and are composed of software, people, computers and other devices.
