Abstract

AbstractIn “Principles of Complex Systems for Systems Engineering,” S.A. Sheard and A. Mostashari [Syst Eng 12 (2009), 295–311] suggest issues related to a formal and theoretical background to systems engineering as well as the definition and analysis of complex systems (p. 295): “Systems engineering (SE) has evolved without much of a formal or theoretical background for its practices; instead it has relied on experientially developed principles and heuristics [Defoe, 1993; Rechtin, 1991; Stevens et al., 1998].” This communication outlines some of the existing formal, theoretical systems engineering literature, discusses the provided definition of complex systems, examines “Ordered Systems Engineering” in the context of existing systems engineering literature, and reflects on the principles of complex systems for systems engineering. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
