Computer information and control systems have become increasingly embedded into the very fabric of human society. They control our clocks, washing machines, motor vehicles, traffic lights, the electric power to our homes, and the essential processes of our production economy.These computer systems are complex and can no longer be thought of as standalone entities. They are typically components of much larger, complex systems involving hardware, software, people, and all the unpredictable events in the natural world. So it is essential that those building these complex systems be equipped with advanced techniques not taught in ordinary computer programming courses.
