Artificial intelligence and systems engineering
Self-driving cars need artificial intelligence (AI), and after several vehicle manufacturers have already followed Google and developed self-driving cars, Toyota has now also joined this group. One problem I see with regard to SE is that the system should be deterministic, especially with embedded systems: With the same input should come the same output. This should ensure comprehensible behavior, which is often considered essential for functional safety, among other things. In systems engineering, unpredictable behavior is also referred to as „emergent behavior“. This is a classic sign of complex (as opposed to complicated) systems. This is easier said than done with AI systems... Read now

About Michael Jastram
I came to system development via requirements management, which is a sub-discipline of system development, and a very important one at that. You can reach me in many ways >> I worked for several years as a consultant for the HOOD Group in the field of requirements management and got to know this discipline in practice at companies such as Volkswagen Hella and Continental. However, I was later able to expand this view, which had been shaped by the automotive industry, as part of my doctorate, where on the one hand the system character was added, and on the other hand I came into contact with other industries: aviation (Airbus), railroads (DB, Thales, Alstorm) and space (Space Systems Finland). But originally I come... Read now
