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.

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 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 ...

Safety Engineering – a Perspective on Systems Engineering

2011
The thesis of the paper is that safety engineering should be not be considered to be ‘special and different’ but rather should be seen as a specific viewpoint on the more general practice of systems engineering, albeit with the appropriate degree of rigour applied to the processes involved. In recent correspondence with the authors, Dr Nancy Leveson of

Systemic Design Engineering

INCOSE International Symposium, 2017
AbstractThe Concept Phase of Systems Engineering, also known as Design, is most critical for it determines most of the cost, complexity and value of a system. Given the interdisciplinary nature of Design, it is no wonder that a wide variety of tools and approaches have been developed to aid in addressing design problems.

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.

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.

Unifying software engineering and systems engineering

Computer, 2000
The author describes CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) and the emerging project methods which demonstrate the opportunities for process improvement gains open to organizations. The organization that changes from separated software and system engineering processes to a more unified approach will find itself far more suited to developing ...
