Enterprise and Systems Architecture and Engineering

Enterprise and Systems Architecture and Engineering

Enterprise and Systems Architecture and Engineering (ESAE) focuses on improving engineering and architecting processes, practices, and tools, with particular attention to the engineering of large, complex systems that operate at the enterprise level.

Overview

Enterprise and Systems Architecture and Engineering (ESAE) focuses on improving engineering and architecting processes, practices, and tools, with particular attention to the engineering of large, complex systems that operate at the enterprise level. ESAE encompasses research in systems engineering at the project and enterprise levels, enterprise architecting, and investment and acquisition strategies, as well as business models for IT-based systems and services. This multi-disciplinary area intersects with research in complex systems, social and behavioral sciences, computing, economics and cost engineering, modeling, and management policies, among other disciplines.

Systems engineering is really a continuum of practice that ranges from the engineering of custom, in-house development of well-bounded systems to the engineering of net-centric enterprises. The systems engineering practices and tools that were developed for those former classes of systems have to be extended and new practices defined to address engineering of large-scale, adaptive enterprise systems. Recognizing the need for research in enterprise-level systems engineering and architecting, MITRE is collaborating with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Engineering Systems Division. MITRE's strategy is to stay current with this external research and to focus our internal research efforts on adapting and developing engineering practices applicable to our government customers.
