Research on complex systems is becoming more prolific, and there is a need to provide
some point of orientation to researchers and practitioners that are drawing on the body of …

Several research questions are addressed in this thought piece on the need for research in
the engineering of complex systems. What are the classes of problems for which complexity …

This paper shows how the literature on complexity is related to complex systems and to
systems engineering. A framework for types of complexity is proposed that includes three …

This book began as a result of experiences at a meeting in London in December 1992. This
was one of the formative meetings of the IEEE Technical Committee on Engineering of …

While it is possible to link systems thinking and the practice of systems engineering to
ancient cultures, this paper seeks to trace the modern history of systems engineering from …
