Annotation
System Concepts (Knowledge Area)
Derek Hitchins is a respected authority and author on systems theory and Systems Engineering, particularly the engineering of complex systems. This article provides an overview of the concepts used across Systems Engineering, it give a good set of references to follow up the ideas in more detail. This article was prepared for the INCOSE Insight magazine as part of an INCOSE Fellows project to address certain areas of interest in Systems Engineering.
Overview of System Concepts
In particular, this articles describes the main system concepts relevant to Systems Engineering
Systems Approach
The general principles applicable to systems in this article become the basis for the Systems Approach to be discussed later.
Synthesis of a System
This article shows how the general principles applicable to systems can be used in the syntheis of a system within the Systems Approach.
Applying the Systems Approach
This article describes the general pronciples applicable to system that are later incorporated in Systems Engineering which is the application of the Systems Approach for engineered systems.
