A propos de cet article

Also contains a List of Figures and a List of Tables. This is one of the Libey Business Library series. Dr. Horowitz joined the University of Virginia's faculty as a Professor in the Systems Engineering degree program in September 2001, after an industrial career involving the application of systems engineering to many large and complex systems. He led a DoD sponsored research effort focused on embedding security solutions into systems, referred to as System Aware Cyber Security. The System Aware Cyber Security concept is currently being prototyped through a significant DoD research project led by Dr. Horowitz, focused on cyber security for airborne surveillance systems onboard unmanned airborne vehicles. From 1969 through 1996 he was at the Mitre Corporation, including the last five years as President and CEO and the three prior years as Executive Vice President and COO. During Desert Storm he conceived of and led the integration efforts for a system for tracking and destroying SCUD missile carriers. He received the Air Force's highest award for a civilian as a result of this effort. As a result of his efforts, in 1996 Dr. Horowitz was elected into the National Academy of Engineering. Dr. Horowitz served as a member of the Naval Studies Board (NSB), recently led a Chief of Naval Operations sponsored study for the NSB on cyber security and is engaged in an NSB study to evaluate the current status of Navy activities related to cyber security. He also serves as a member of General Electric's Academic Software Advisory Panel and is a Cyber Security Commissioner for the Commonwealth of Virginia. In addition, Dr. Horowitz has served and led studies for the NAE, the Defense Science Board and the Army Science Board. The acquisition of any large electronics system demands careful strategic planning. Now, with the pressures of tightening budgets and rapidly changing technology, executive strategizing in system acquisition is crucial to the success or failure of an organization. This book offers tactical solutions to the challenges associated with large computer system purchases confronting executives in both government and the private sector. Innovation has been the hallmark of Dr. Barry Horowitz's 25 career in electronics systems. It is this innovation--a combination of flexibility and willingness to apply practical experience to new solutions--that Dr. Horowitz brings to this book. Strategic Buying for the Future acknowledges first and foremost that nearly every complex organization relies on a complex computer system as its skeleton, often requiring integration of multiple subststems to function properly and affordably. If an executive is innovative in managing hardware and software and in integrating subsystems, then that executive--and his organization--will succeed where others fall behind.…
