Integration Definition and 1000 Threads

System integration is defined in engineering as the process of bringing together the component sub-systems into one system (an aggregation of subsystems cooperating so that the system is able to deliver the overarching functionality) and ensuring that the subsystems function together as a system, and in information technology as the process of linking together different computing systems and software applications physically or functionally, to act as a coordinated whole.
The system integrator integrates discrete systems utilizing a variety of techniques such as computer networking, enterprise application integration, business process management or manual programming.System integration involves integrating existing, often disparate systems in such a way "that focuses on increasing value to the customer" (e.g., improved product quality and performance) while at the same time providing value to the company (e.g., reducing operational costs and improving response time). In the modern world connected by Internet, the role of system integration engineers is important: more and more systems are designed to connect, both within the system under construction and to systems that are already deployed.

    I How Does Nakahara Compactify I=[0,1] to S^1 in De Rham Cohomology Proof?

    Hello! In Nakahara's Geometry, Topology and Physics in chapter 6.4.5 second edition, he proves at a point that on a simply connected manifold, the first de Rham cohomology group is trivial. In the proof he defines ##\alpha : I=[0,1] \to M##, homotopic to a point. Now, by the rules of integration...
