Engineering innovation into systems engineering practices

2015 Annual IEEE Systems Conference (SysCon) Proceedings, 2015
A significant body of research exists about instilling a culture of innovation, but less is written about how to introduce innovation into systems engineering practices. Further, can suppress innovation. Our increasing need to conceive and develop more transformative concepts motivated an initiative to infuse innovation into our systems engineering. In

SYSTEMS ENGINEERING VERSUS SYSTEMS ENGINEERS

INCOSE International Symposium, 1993
AbstractThe relationship between systems engineering and the engineering profession of Systems Engineer is poorly understood. This lack of understanding is one of the major factors contributing to the confusion and complexity associated with developing a common understanding of systems engineering in industry and academia.

Ontology for Systems Engineering: Model-Based Systems Engineering

2012 Sixth UKSim/AMSS European Symposium on Computer Modeling and Simulation, 2012
This paper presents an ontology for systems engineering, by means of a set of information models based on a modelling methodology derived from and a simplification of the ISO 15926 part 2 data model. The methodology matches the way people think and communicate and is designed specifically to be useful for engineers.

Systems engineering education for all Engineers

2015 IEEE International Symposium on Systems Engineering (ISSE), 2015
The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) have an interest in the role of Systems Engineering (SE) knowledge in all types of education. This paper reports on an academic forum meeting held in May 2015. The aim of this forum was to explore ways of understanding, promoting and enhancing the value of Systems Engineering Knowledge in the ...

Engineering complex systems: implications for research in systems engineering

IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man and Cybernetics, Part C (Applications and Reviews), 2003
A discussion of the scope of systems engineering, which seems to cover everything and therefore, in a way, to cover nothing. Systems engineering crosses the boundaries of other disciplines. It is the exploration, understanding, and design of how everything fits together.

System-of-systems security engineering

Tenth Annual Computer Security Applications Conference, 2002
There is an increasing trend to treat a collection of individual systems that support a common mission as a single entity and to perform systems engineering activities for that entity. A security engineering process is proposed for systems-of-systems. This process addresses such issues as how to identify and mitigate risks resulting from connectivity ...

Engineering in complex systems

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2010
The implementation of the engineering design cycle of measure, model, manipulate would drastically enhance the success rate of biotechnological designs. Recent progress for the three elements suggests that the scope of the traditional engineering paradigm in biotechnology is expanding.

Systems thinking or systems engineering

International Journal of Intelligent Defence Support Systems, 2009
The problem faced by most systems organisations is how to develop and sustain staff with the appropriate systems skills and experience. To date, much has been made of the delineation of systems thinking and systems engineering. In this research, the partitioning of 'thinking' and 'engineering' has been explored using Discourse Analysis (DA) of ...

An introduction to engineering: complexity in engineered systems

2004 43rd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC) (IEEE Cat. No.04CH37601), 2004
Advances in technology hold promising solutions to problems that up until now have been intractable. Many of these problems are multidisciplinary encompassing engineering, science and socioeconomic aspects. Many involve systems that are multi-layered and include a large number of components making them inherently complex.

General Systems and Systems Engineering

IEEE Transactions on Systems Science and Cybernetics, 1966
One of the main lines of thought in General Systems is the transfer of system concepts from one field to another. There has been fruitful application of such theoretical concepts from engineering to other fields such as biology. In this paper, an attempt is made to apply concepts from biology to the practice of systems engineering.
