Introduction
Strategic systems engineering encompasses the endurance and sustainability of engineering systems. With regards to this, techniques related to sustainability, safety & security and complexity of such systems would require a thorough assessment. Moreover, systems lifecycle, uncertainty and efficiency are some of the underlying relevant concepts in strategic engineering. Strategic engineering in the context of software engineering and development is referred to a new paradigm in which the traditional software quality assurance techniques with respect to service and cloud computing, big data analytics, and its quality of service (QoS) are discussed. Make clear emphases on strategic directions and research approach taken in your work.
