The NASA Systems Engineering Research Consortium was founded to investigate the
engineering and mathematical basis of systems engineering. The Consortium brought …

Complex systems have characteristics that challenge traditional systems engineering
processes and methods. These characteristics have been defined in various ways. INCOSE …

The inability to handle rising complexity effectively is often the cause of project,
organizational, enterprise, and even societal collapse. A tractable set of heuristics for …

Aim: The growing complexity of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) impacts resources and
