RefTitleDescription
ISO/IEC/IEEE 24765Systems and software engineering - VocabularyProvides a common vocabulary applicable to all systems and software engineering work. Prepared to collect and standardize terminology.
ISO/IEC/IEEE 21840Systems and software engineering - Guidelines for the utilization of ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 in the context of system of systems (SoS)Provides guidance on the use of ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 in the context of SoS Engineering (SoSE), including considerations for how constituent systems relate to each other within the SoS. However, the use of any specific taxa in ISO/IEC/IEEE 21841 is not required.
ISO/IEC/IEEE 29418Systems and software engineering - Life cycle processes - Requirements engineeringProvides guidance for the execution of the ISO/IEC 15288 and ISO/IEC 12207 processes that deal with requirements engineering. This International Standard also provides normative definition of the content and recommendations for the format of the information items, or documentation, that result from the implementation of these processes.
ISO/IEC/IEEE 24748Systems and software engineering - Life cycle management - Part 1: Guidelines for life cycle managementAddresses system and life cycle concepts and terms (e.g. models, stages, processes, views etc) with guidance on application.
ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288Systems and software engineering - System life cycle processesEstablishes a common framework of process descriptions for describing the life cycle of systems created by humans. It defines a set of processes and associated terminology from an engineering viewpoint.
ISO/IEC/IEEE 21839Systems and software engineering - Guidelines for the utilization of ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 in the context of system of systems (SoS)Provides guidance on the use of ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 in the context of SoS Engineering (SoSE), including considerations for how constituent systems relate to each other within the SoS. However, the use of any specific taxa in ISO/IEC/IEEE 21841 is not required.
ISO/IEC/IEEE 21841Systems and software engineering - Taxonomy of systems of systemsProvides a taxonomy for SoS, providing specific viewpoints that align with management and governance concerns. Using a taxonomy in conjunction with this document facilitates better communications among the various stakeholders that are involved in activities like governance, engineering, operation and management of these SoS.
ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010Systems and software engineering - Architecture descriptionAddresses the creation, analysis and sustainment of architectures of systems through the use of architecture descriptions.
ISO/IEC/IEEE 15289Systems and software engineering - Content of life-cycle information items (documentation)Specifies the purpose and content of all identified systems and software life-cycle and service management information items (documentation).

TitleObjectives / OutcomesProviderDuration
Systems Practise: Managing Sustainability
