Preface

With more complex systems being designed and utilized, understanding concepts of systems and mastering systems engineering methods are of utmost importance for systems designers. Complexity exists in all levels of systems and their subsystems, even components, which makes the design challenging. Guided by systems science, systems engineering applies scientific theories and models and incorporates the factors of system elements, including humans, machines, and environments, into unified models to analyze the effects of various system elements on system behaviors, which, in turn, seek the optimal course of actions to design these complex systems. Systems engineering is multidisciplinary in nature, integrating concepts, models, and techniques ...
