Michael,
Why don't you tell us what you really think? :-)
While I agree that the problem has been around awhile, I thought the
benefit of this article to the SI community was to put a spotlight on
the problem, thus "some constructive "forward motion" toward solving the
problem." Indeed, I'm not sure of the benefit of discussing the problem
(companies designing products without proper resources) in this forum.
A discussion in this forum would be a little like "preaching to the
choir"; this problem seems more related to business decisions rather
than technical ones.
What better method to move the issue forward than to publish successes
and failures? Anyone want to take a survey and publish? And where to
publish is important; the target audience isn't SI Engineers. While
there are many of us who would like to see that article, if you are in a
position to take that article and put in on your bosses desk, you are
most likely fighting a battle that someone already won.
To be most effective the target audience needs to be those who want to
"build bridges" without proper engineering support.
But that's just my opinion.
Happy Holidays!

Scott,
I wasn't terribly impressed. What was the point? That news is so old
its got mold on it.
I'm trying to figure out what it was for except to fill some space in EE
Times, was it a promotional advertisement for a consultant, or promoting
two companies and dissing two, etc.? There were no answers and no
solutions offered, plenty of gloom and doom, the industry is in the tank
on this issue, and there certainly doesn't seem to be enough simulator
"pilots" to do all the simulation we need to do and everyone is to blame
for "it" (whoever and whatever that is). I guess that means we need to
call in a "superhero", eh? Frankly, we've had better discussions on
this forum about that topic than that was.=20
What a waste.
Enough of that...
I am hoping your query is to stimulate some constructive "forward
motion" toward solving the problem.
Its been around for a very long time.=20
