Abstract Systems engineering has been considered for a long time both an art and a
science. In fact, previous work has shown that principles and practices of systems …

Abstract Systems architecture has been considered as both an art and a science. The
systems architect uses heuristics, stories, and models to communicate complex architectural …

Abstract Systems engineering has successfully contributed to develop complex systems in
industries such as defense, space, energy, or transportation. Systems in those industries …

There has been much discussion of late in the NASA systems engineering community about
the fact that systems engineering cannot be just about process and technical disciplines …

Just how old are the ideas underpinning the interdisciplinary, holistic systems
engineering?(See JG Landels, Engineering in the Ancient World, University of California …

The systems engineering process, applied across a typical system life‐cycle model, features
design, or synthesis, as a core element. Creativity and innovation are required, to varying …

Systems science, systems management and other systems based ways of thinking and
acting in the world have offered an alternative to the positivistic tradition of science. A …

Over the history of systems engineering, there have been numerous attempts to establish
the foundations of that field on other disciplines. In this paper, we explore a new approach …

Systems engineering is developing rapidly, while new standards are created and new tools
are being developed. However, the theoretical understanding and the conceptual …

Abstract Systems engineering involves complex systems-humans. Current curricula do not
fully address the complexities humans present. The purpose of this paper is to examine a …
