Abstract

Abstract: Very small entities (VSEs) play an increasingly important role in the global economy. The products they develop are often integrated into products made by larger enterprises. Clients, furthermore, demand of the VSEs that they assume a much broader role, spanning the entire development life‐cycle of the product instead of being limited to a "build‐to‐print" approach. The ISO/IEC 29110 systems engineering management and engineering guides were developed mainly from ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 to address this new reality, to exploit the lean and efficient nature of VSEs and to adapt to their typical budget and resource constraints. By design, the management and engineering guide is supported by Deployment Packages (DP), the development of which was taken on by the INCOSE VSE Working Group. A DP is a set of artefacts designed to facilitate the implementation of the management and engineering guides of ISO/IEC 29110 by VSEs. In tune with the need for low cost and flexibility, Open Source software tools are emerging to support VSEs and provide a bridge with "Big League" development life‐cycle toolsets. Finally, to make the deployment of ISO/IEC 29110 possible in VSEs, training packages, supported by relevant pilot projects help VSE personnel learn how to apply all of the above. This paper describes the Systems Engineering DP for Requirements Engineering (RE DP) and shows how it can be applied using the Autonomous Rover Case Study developed under the Eclipse Foundation Polarsys project.
