Complex Systems for the Systems Engineerby Sarah Sheard

INCOSE NORTH STAR CHAPTER - FALL TUTORIAL

Saturday, 15 October, 2011

Honeywell in Golden Valley, MNRegistration begins at 8:30 AM, presentation from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM

Synopsis:

Sarah Sheard is the head of INCOSE’s Complex Systems working group and she will discuss complexity as it relates to systems engineering. She looks into the sciences of chaos theory and its daughter science, complexity, and shows how these fields can be adapted to help improve systems engineering for the more complex systems-of-systems that are being developed today.

Registration Deadline is 4:00 PM Friday, 7 October 2011.

What Is INCOSE?

International Council On Systems Engineering:

Not-for-profit membership organization founded in 1990

Mission:

Advance the state of the art and practice of systems engineering

in industry, academia, and government by promoting

interdisciplinary, scalable approaches to produce technologically

appropriate solutions that meet societal needs.


16

Systems Engineering

What is a System?

A system is a whole that functions as a whole by virtue of the interaction of its parts.

This definition implies that:

• All parts are necessary

• They need to be linked for the system to work


17

Why Join INCOSE?

A membership in the International Council on Systems Engineering will expand your view of the engineering of complex systems and your knowledge of the many aspects of the practice.

Project managers, software and hardware engineers and product

developers are joining INCOSE to learn how to the use the systems engineering process and apply it to their industries.

Get a global perspective of your job responsibilities. Learn how the application of systems engineering techniques can improve your job performance and your organization's well being.


It has been suggested that we could network better…

…please take a moment to introduce yourselves to those on your right and left!!!

• There will be a quiz!
