Abstract

<pre>In the last two decades of the 20th century, advances in software,<br>electronic, material, mechanical, control and structural engineering,<br>extensively enabled and defined the processes and products of the<br>Aerospace and Automotive industries, and of the associated<br>transportation, defense and space systems&#046; As the new born century<br>begins its march into the future, both Society and end&#8211;users have<br>significantly increased their expectations of engineered systems such<br>as aircraft and automobiles, and the field of systems engineering is<br>witnessing a relentless growth to keep pace with these expectations&#046;<br>Societies across the globe, for example, envision zero&#8211;fatalities, a<br>near&#8211;zero environmental footprint (e&#046;g&#046;, zero green&#8211;house gas<br>emissions and zero non&#8211;renewal fuel consumption), and zero&#8211;<br>congestion&#046; Individual end&#8211;users expect low ownership cost (routine<br>maintenance and upgrade), convenience with all the physical comforts<br>of a climate controlled, noise&#8211;free ambience with digital connectivity<br>&amp; entertainment, all with no compromise on safety, performance or fuel&#8211;<br>efficiency&#046;<br></pre>
