The field of systems engineering (SE) is at a juncture in its history where it needs to strengthen and extend its methods to support its expanding scope. This book lays out a recommended direction to do this and provides a unified basis for its development into a mature discipline. The author's approach is to build on the strengths of traditional SE, remedy the weaknesses, and unify all these elements on a common foundation. The book addresses the systems that will be most prevalent from this point on-hose characterized as a combination of traditional and complex, mechanistic and organic, natural and artificial.
Zusammenfassung
Systems engineering (SE) is experiencing a significant expansion that encompasses increasingly complex systems. However, a common body of knowledge on how to apply complex systems engineering (CSE) has yet to be developed. A combination of people and other autonomous agents, crossing organization boundaries and continually changing, these hybrid sy
