  • Chapter
Critical Issues in Systems Theory and Practice

Abstract

An argument has been developed (Boarder, 1995(b)) for resolving the implicit convolution in the terms systems and systems engineering.’ system engineering’, it is concluded, is a process conducted over a’ systems engineering’ position.’ system engineering’ differentiates and integrates, with respect to a specific system requirement, diverse issues while delivering emergent properties into an environment and satisfying laws of traceability and tractability.
