Abstract:

Todays systems are increasingly threatened by unanticipated change arising from volatility in user requirements, Information Technology IT refresh rates, and responses to security vulnerabilities. With the rapidly changing world of IT, long static development cycles of a Software Intensive System SIS, a system in which software represents the largest segment in one or more of the following criteria system development cost, system development risk, system functionality, or development time 1 may doom the system before development begins.
