Beschreibung
This book conceives, presents and exemplifies a contemporary,general systems methodology that is straightforward and accessible,providing guidance in practical application, as well as explainingconcept and theory. The book is presented both as a text forstudents, with topic assignments, and as a reference forpractitioners, through case studies.
Utilizing recent research and developments in systems science,methods and tools, Hitchins has developed a unified systemsmethodology, employable when tackling virtually any problem, fromthe small technological, to the global socioeconomic. Founded inthe powerful 'systems approach', Hitchins'systems methodology brings together both soft and hard systemscientific methods into one methodological framework. This can beapplied when addressing complex problems, issues and situations,and for creating robust, provable solutions, resolutions anddissolutions to those problems - supposing such to exist.
This book details and explores:
* the systems approach, using theory and method to reveal systemsengineering as applied systems science, bridging the gulf betweenProblem and Solution Spaces;
* a 'universal' Systems Methodology (including anextensive view of systems engineering, embracing both soft and hardsystems) which encompasses all five stages of Hitchins'5-layer Systems Engineering Model (artifact, project, enterprise,industry and socio-economy);
* case studies illustrating how the systems methodology may beused to address a diverse range of situations and issues, includingconceiving a new defense capability, proposing a feasible way totackle global warming, tackling enterprise interventions, how andwhy things can go wrong, and many more.
Systems Engineering will give an immeasurable advantageto managers, practitioners and consultants in a wide range oforganizations and fields including police, defense, procurement,communications, transport, management, electrical, electronic,aerospace, requirements, software and computer engineering.
It is an essential reference for researchers seeking'systems enlightenment', including graduate studentswho require a comprehensive reference text on the subject, and alsogovernment departments and systems engineering institutions

"This book is recommended for administrative and technical staff in industry and government agencies and for graduate students in engineering programs. It would be a good addition to academic, corporate and governmental library collections." (E-Streams, December 2008)
