Our knowledge of the world is fragmented, and given the complexity of the world this may be
an enduring condition for humanity. However, the world itself is a unity, and thus we are …

ABSTRACT The INCOSE Systems Engineering Principles Action Team has put forth a set of
principles and hypotheses to articulate the basic concepts that guide systems engineering …

Systems engineering is increasingly challenged by the rising complexity of projects
undertaken, resulting in increases in costs, failure rates, and negative unintended …

Systems Research formally originated in the 1950s, but a scientific understanding of
systemness is still nascent. This shortcoming produces significant risks for complex systems …

The rise of complexity in engineered systems is radically increasing the risks in complex
systems engineering projects. This rise is a challenge for systems engineering, which is still …

The myriad of problems facing the world today are increasingly complex, dynamic, and
transcend multiple domains. This necessitates the need for trans-disciplinary approaches …

Abstract Systems engineering is a human activity system that depends on highly specialized
technical knowledge to design, model and realize complex systems. However, as yet there …

Defining system principles provides an approach to assess systems, design systems and
develop strategies for effectively implementing system interventions. While principles can be …

Abstract Systems engineering's evolutionary trajectory has been far from linear, and its
future direction is uncertain. We present an assessment and vision of how SE might evolve …
