Books in the Complex and Enterprise Systems Engineering series

This book emphasizes the complexities of project management and provides practical tool sets for achieving success in furthering the complex systems engineering of our most difficult new or improved systems

Considers the purpose and basic features of design and how the concept of value can provide a quantitative measure of that wider interaction of the engineered object with its environment. This work examines the domain in which functional design takes place and discusses how the system concept can be embedded in that domain.

Suitable as a reference for industry practitioners and as a textbook for classroom use, this book provides an understanding of systems engineering (SoSE), enterprise systems engineering (ESE), and complex systems engineering (CSE). Industry practitioners present and analyze case studies from a range of domains that demonstrate the underlying principles and best practices. A number of the case studies focus on addressing real human needs. Diverse approaches such as use of soft systems skills are illustrated in applications, and other helpful techniques are also provided.

Examines what is meant by Complex Adaptive Systems. This book offers a trans-disciplinary approach to leadership with elements of neurobiology, systems engineering, complexity science, and philosophy, as well as evolutionary and social psychology. It is suitable for systems engineers and organizational managers, coaches, and psychologists.

With coverage ranging from the complex characteristics and behaviors of enterprises to the challenges they pose for engineering and technology, this book examines the impacts of enterprise processes and various technologies on the evolution of an enterprise. It defines and also examines key building blocks of the field.

Focuses on the engineering of a class of systems - a process that demands consideration of increasing program scale and the change of underlying technologies. This work explore issues relevant to what makes mega-systems different from traditional ones.

Gives readers the foundation and elementary methods to step into the domain of model-based architecture and systems engineering practices. This work explores the fundamentals of systems architecture, describes how it fits into systems engineering, and provides recommendations on how systems architecture should be practiced.

The field of systems engineering (SE) needs to strengthen and extend its methods to support its expanding scope. This book aims to lay out a recommended direction for the future, and provide a basis for moving toward a mature discipline with the expanded scope.
