Abstract

In 1992, a concept, Hall for Workshop on Meta-synthetic Engineering (HWMSE) was proposed by the Chinese system scientist Qian Xuesen as a platform for practicing the meta-synthesis system approach (MSA). Along the continuous study in MSA & HWMSE, doubts and critical opinions always exist. In this paper, two cases of HWMSE are addressed to expand the understanding of the concept of HWMSE and practice of meta-synthesis system approach.
