Continuous engineering of informationand communication infrastructures

Abstract

Information and Communication Infrastructures (ICIs) are business, mission, project or product critical, long living and usually highly heterogeneous hardware/software systems. They represent a substantial investment and need to be adapted continuously to changing requirements for the protection of that investment. Their users critically depend on their permanent availability. Continuous Engineering (CE) ensures an organized evolution of ICIs by providing guidelines, methods and tools for their construction and continuous change.
