Meeting Speaker: Dr. Jim Armstrong, Systems Integration – What Are We Waiting For
Albuquerque , USA
Applied Technology Associates(ATA) at 1300 Britt Street, SE
Abstract: The common approach to integration is that it doesn’t really begin until the assembly of actual product. However, there are many examples of where earlier actions did or could have prevented serious problems and reduced the costs of late changes. Several examples of these incidents will be explored and the lessons learned noted.
