QUESTION1: Define system .How do you recognized the system? ANSWER :The term system originates from the Greek term system, which means to place together .It is an integrated set of inter operable elements, each with explicitly specified and bounded capabilities ,working synergistically to perform value added processing to enable a user to satisfy mission-oriented operational needs in a prescribed operating environment with a specified outcome and probability of success. Systems occur in a no. of forms and vary composition, hierarchical structure and behaviour .If we analyze these systems, we find that they produce combination of products ,by-products or services. Further analysis reveals most of these fall into one or more classes such as individual versus organizational ; formal versus informal; groundbased, sea-based, air-based, space-based or hybrid; human in-the-loop systems ,open loop versus closed loop ; and fixed , mobile and transportable systems. EXAMPLE: economic system, educational systems, financial systems etc..

QUESTION 2: Explain any two system characteristics briefly with examples . ANSWER : (1)GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS : The high-level features of the system areits general characteristics .We often see general characteristics stated in marketing brochures where key features are emphasized to capture a client or customers interest.It often has some commonality across multiple instances or models of asystem.Eg. Aircraft General characteristics ,Fanjet ,50-passesnger ,2000 nautical mile range.IFR capabilities . (2)PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS : Every system is described by physical characteristics that relate to nonfunctional attributes such as size, weight, color, capacity and interface attributes.Eg: Enterprise or Organization Physical Characteristics 5000 sq ft of office space, 15 networked computers, 100,000sq ft warehouse.

QUESTION 3: Explain the concept of System Feasibility and Affordability. ANSWER: If a determination is made that the timing for a system, product or services is RIGHT, the next challenge comes in determining if the system, as currently specified, can be feasibly developed and produced with existing technologies within the planned developed and produced with existing technologies within the planned development and life cycle budget at acceptable risk for the User or Acquirer. System feasibility ultimately focuses on four key questions: (1) WHAT does the User WANT? (2) WHAT does the User NEED? (3) WHAT can the User AFFORD? (4) WHAT is the User WILLING TO PAY? As an SE, chances are you will be required to provide technical support business development teams working on a New system or product acquisition. you choose to AVOID business development support ,others within your organization may potentially formulate a risky or undesirable solution or commitment that you have to live with later.

QUESTION 4: Write a note on system verification. ANSWER : This is an Acquirer-User process that is highly iterative until the requirements reach a state of maturity sufficient for initiating a procurement action. Once the procurement action begins, the formal Request for Proposal solicitation process for a system provides additional insights, such as from proposals by System Developer candidates concerning the RIGHT system from an objective, technical perspective. The formal RFP solicitation process culminates in the award of a system development or procurement contract.Once the contract is awarded, the challenge becomes: HOW do we ensure that the system will be built RIGHT- that is, correctly- in accordance with the contract specification? We refer to the evolving system design solution as the Development Configuration and the test activities during system development as the Development Test and Evaluation.

QUESTION 5: Explain system lifecycles within lifecycles. ANSWER: Each system, product or service is an asset of a higher level organization (system) that also has a system life cycle. Those same systems and products may include lower level systems or products that also have system life cycles. Therefore we have multiple levels of system life cycles. Suppose that a user has quantities of a product or system, including various versions in inventory. At some point in time, the user may decide to replace a specific product or a group of products. If we examine the system life cycle of organizational entity .We might find that the organization evolves through several lines of business(LOBs): LOB 1,LOB 2, and so on. Within each LOB ,the organization have core product line that consist of product model 1,which evolves into product model 2,and so forth.

QUESTION 6: Discuss the concept of system transition strategy. ANSWER: During the system operations and support phase of system ,decision event occurs to replace system .The acquisition strategy is to bring the new system 2 Online or into active service as noted by the First Article Field Delivery event.After a system transition period for checkout and integration of system into the HIGHER ORDER SYSTEM, an existing system deactivation order is issued .At that time ,system 2 becomes the primary system and system 1 enters the system disposal phase of its lifecycle. At some time period later ,the disposal of system1 is marked by the existing system disposal complete event.

QUESTION 7: Write down the importance of the system elements concept. ANSWER: The system elements concept is important for three reasons.First,the system elements enable us to organize,classify and bound system entity abstraction and their interactions .That is,it is way to differentiate what is and what is not included in the system.Second,the system element architecture establishes a common framework for developing the logical and physical system architectures of each entity within the system hierarchy .Third, the system elements serve as an initial starting point for allocations of multi-level performance specification requirements.The organizational framework of the system element architecture concept provides the framework for defining the system and its boundaries .

QUESTION 8: Explain the concept of logical Entity relationships. ANSWER : The First step in identifying Logical entity relationships is to simply recognize and acknowledge that some form of association exists through deductive reasoning .We may not know the physical details of the relationship-that is ,how they link up- but you know a relationship does or will exist. Graphically, we depict these relationships as simply a line between the two entities. The second step is to characterize the logical relationship in terms of logical functions that is, what interaction occurs between must be provided to enable the two entities to associate with one another. When we assemble the logical entities into a framework that graphically describes their relationships, we refer to the diagram as logical architecture.

QUESTION 9: How do you relate system levels of Abstraction and semantics to system Architecture? ANSWER: It describes each level and entity in terms of its hierarchical and peer level entity relationships .These relationships provide the basic framework for defining the system logical and physical architectures .The preceding discussion also introduces a set of semantics for application to large, complex systems. We may or may not have an eight-level system. Tailor the number of system levels of abstraction to match our systems application of the standard system levels.In this case the organization has adopted the following semantics: User system, SYSTEM, SUBSYSTEM, ASSEMBLY and PART levels. As a result reference level numbers. (Level 1, Level 2, etc.) have been sequentially applied to match the tailoring. System composition entity relationships (ERs) enable us to analytically decompose hierarchical systems into manageable design level of complexity.

QUESTION 10: What are the responsibilities of a system analyst or SE? ANSWER: The responsibility of a system analyst is to: (1)Identify and delineate all of the critical OPERATING ENVIRONMENT conditions. (2)Bound and describe technical parameters that characterize the OPERATING ENVIRONMENT. (3)Ensure those descriptions are incorporated Specification (SPS) used to procure the SOI. into the system performance

The process identifying the SOIs OPERATING ENVIRONMENT requirement employs a simple methodology. In general, the methodology implements the logic reflected in the PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT levels of abstraction and classes of environments.
