"Concept Definition" is used in the SEBoK as a knowledge area (KA); it includes systems engineering (SE) activities which occur before any formal definition of the [[System-of-Interest  (glossary)|system-of-interest]] (SoI) is developed such as [[Mission Analysis (glossary)| analysis]] and definition of [[Stakeholder Requirement (glossary)|stakeholder needs and requirements]].  (See [[Concept Definition]] KA.) This generally defines the problem statement which initiates a "concept stage" as discussed in the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) ''Systems Engineering Handbook'' (INCOSE 2012). In the SEBoK, [[System Definition] is used to discuss the detail description of a solution system.

This definition was developed for the SEBoK.

Discussion

System Concept Definition is a knowledge area in the SEBoK; it includes systems engineering activities which occur before any formal definition of the system-of-interest (SoI) is developed such as analysis and definition of stakeholder needs and requirements. This generally defines the problem statement which initiates a "concept stage" as discussed in INCOSE (2012). In the SEBoK, System Definition is used to discuss the detailed description of a solution system.
