SYSE.20:11 - SoTA and Source Use
An overlap problem may call for Method change, organization change or coordination of current Work. Recover the Method organization and the actual relations among design, realization, integration, operation, platform and evidence contributions. Preserve application-specific physics, timing and authority, and distinguish physical phenomena, models, computation, realization, decisions and actions when determining what can overlap and what requires an order.
This table is the complete source-use register for this pattern body.
| Source | Retained contribution | Use boundary |

Current FPF A.3.1, A.15.1, A.22, B.1.5, C.27.TA, C.30.STRAT, C.32.MWA, C.32.MLAO, and C.36 | Method and Work identity, direct temporal claims, selected structures, specialization and composition, stratification checks, several-structure synthesis, moved-burden comparison, and cultural-change relations. | This DPF adds the engineering conflict, configured result at risk, applied alternatives, and bounded reconfiguration decision. |
| DORA Continuous Integration, Platform Engineering, Change Approval, and DORA 2025 | Software evidence and practitioner guidance about frequent integration, feedback, risk-sensitive approval, and platform-mediated Work. | Apply those observations to the stated software populations and use them as candidate contributions in other engineering profiles. |
| Flow Engineering, The Iterative Systems Engineering Handbook, Volume I | Candidate moves for shorter feedback, coordination across engineering contributions, and repeated hardware integration. | Treat provider-authored advocacy and anecdotes as hypothesis and case material; qualify prevalence and causal claims separately. |
Current AI-engineering evidence qualified in SYSE.15 | Bounded observations about AI-capable Systems participating in software and engineering-design Work. | Reuse only compatible claims for the named profile, Work, result, and evidence window. |
Reopen the affected claim when a later source or representative Work changes a Method, Work relation, conflict, alternative, or decision. Novelty or publication status alone does not reopen the pattern.
