Systems – What We Mean
• System =
– Well-defined part of an Industrial Product or Asset:
Aircraft/Vehicle/Power Plant/Oil Rig/Pipeline/Train, etc….
– Delivers a particular functionality
– When the product is *simple* (a pump, a battery), the product
itself is a system
– When the product is very complex (a plane, a car…), it is generally a
collection of systems, with sub-systems
• Systems of Systems refers to the interaction of many systems
in a distributed manner: an air traffic control, an electrical grid,
a subway covering a city… we don’t operate at this level

Systems are made of
• Their Body: Physical components that sustain
multiple physical phenomena: stress, vibration,
fluid/structure interactions, electromagnetic
interference, noise, flutter, fatigue, heating,
icing, combustion, deformations, aging,
radiation, etc…
• Their Nervous system: Electronic components:
sensors, actuators, integrated circuits,
chip/package/electronic system, network
interfaces
• Their Intelligence: Software components:
controls, user interfaces, databases, data
management, maintenance and health
monitoring
