Oct. 1 Computer-based systems are composed of software, hardware, and, frequently, mechanical components and require tight integration of these heterogeneous system elements, along with distributed processing and databases, and internal and external communication systems. To design such systems, engineers must thoroughly understand complex application domain scenarios and technology, possible trade-offs in system design, and the interaction between the system and the domain. Interdisciplinary development is necessary, and system engineering is needed to coordinate the whole. Nov. 1 Data has become our lifeblood, and we need to manage it well to survive. This issue looks at data warehousing technology and applications, distributed data management issues and architectures, and storage area networks.
