2 System Issues Related to Implementing on the Internet

Abstract

Implementing capabilities on the World Wide Web should never be taken lightly. A good systems engineer is able to examine such implementations from all points of view, including political, legal, security, access, technical deployment, and quality. The evaluation discussed in this paper was conducted to ensure that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was proceeding in a correct direction by implementing RECALL a Lessons Learned System on the Web and, subsequently, did so successfully. The systems approach extended well beyond technical implementation to several issues that are not often addressed by an implementation team. The resulting evaluation increased the team's sensitivity to such issues and, in fact, the authors believe that the evaluation provided as much benefit as the system itself.

1.6.2 Electronic Systems Engineering (E‐SE): Exploiting Internet Technology – or – A Project Portal Primer

“…Several of their lessons learned are provided. Mackey and Bagg (1999), in decsribing a NASA web-based lessons learned repository, discuss six categories of issues, including political, legal, security, access, technical deployment, and quality. Another important aspect of the work by the Mackey team is the use of a case-based reasoning (CBR) tool as part of the site.…”

2.6.1 The Value of Adding Digital Print Technology to Existing IPDT Collaboration Systems

“…But as the increasing number of INCOSE papers (Mackey & Bagg, 1999;Moulder and Reed, 2000;Myers and Verma, 1999;Pohlmann, 2000;Sampson, 1999, andVerma andPlunkett, 2000) attest, distributed computing using Internet technologies is redefining the boundaries of what one can and can not do in developing a more productive integrated product data environment.…”
