As our knowledge of system of systems (SoS) has grown and evolved, so has our
understanding of how to engineer and manage them. In systems engineering, we develop …

Recent studies have argued a shift of thinking about engineering practice from a linear
conception to a system understanding. The complexity of engineering practice has been …

Projects delivered in complex environments are often late, over-budget and provide fewer
benefits than what were originally expected. Systems Engineering is the emerging paradigm …

The innovation literature on operations-based organisations describes the positive effect of
Open Innovation (OI) on productivity. However, a systemic overview of how OI directly and …

Due to the fact that the corporate IT function is tightly coupled to enterprise processes and
the organization's information needs, today's IT investments and processes are driven by the …

The purpose of this paper is to present an alternative systems thinking–based perspective
and approach to the requirements elicitation process in complex situations. Three broad …

Capabilities-based planning and capability assessment are high on the agendas of several
countries and organisations as part of their risk management and emergency preparedness …

In the first section, this report analyses Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) in the context of
megaprojects, explaining why they are often delivered over budget and late. In the second …

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 …

In this work, we are motivated by the observation that previous considerations of appropriate
complexity measures have not directly addressed the fundamental issue that the complexity …
