Popis: This paper argues for the necessity of an engineering discipline for computer based systems and outlines its beginnings. It is based on results obtained and directions mapped out for such a discipline by the IEEE Technical Committee on Engineering of Computer Based Systems (ECBS). Computer Based Systems are seen as the technical artifacts of a dedicated engineering discipline. Experience and heuristics of such a discipline need to be grounded in a practical theory. On top of such a theory, a systems engineering approach has to be defined that allows the professional practice of the discipline and the safeguarding of the entire life cycle of all its artifacts. Such a systematization of a discipline inevitably leads to guidelines and to reference standards. Those reference standards reflect the systems engineering approach and regulate the engineering process. The different classes those reference standards fall into are discussed and some consequences are proposed.
