Why has a problem between “systems engineers” and “software engineers” been documented every year of INCOSE’s existence? Is it because there is a difference between systems engineering of hardware-intensive and systems engineering of software-intensive systems, and this difference is not understood or respected? This paper presents several of the issues involved and presents opposing factors for consideration by those who will have to face them, such as hardware systems engineers addressing systems with more and more software components. The author posted fourteen assertions, based on personal experience, to the INCOSE discussion list server.
