系统工程的历史视角

随着20年的系统工程杂志完成，这篇短文认为它对整个系统工程（SE）学科的影响。它回顾了这本杂志的创始原则，并评估了它如何推进这些原则。从更广泛的意义上讲，它还回顾了SE学科存在70年的历史，然后展望了它的前景。在经历了几十年的快速增长之后，在20世纪90年代和21世纪初，面对过程控制压力，SE似乎出现了部分停滞。第一原理的使用已经减少了。然而，该领域的复苏与本杂志的时间框架一致，因为第一原理正在重新开发，新方法正在出现。这本杂志成功地刺激了这种复苏。
With 20 years of the Systems Engineering journal completed, this short article considers its impact on the discipline of systems engineering (SE) as a whole. It reviews the founding principles of this journal and assesses how well it has advanced those principles. In a broader sense, it also reviews 70 years of existence of the SE discipline and then looks ahead for its promises. After several decades of rapid growth, SE appears to have partially stagnated in the 1990s and 2000s in the face of process control pressures. The use of first principles has dwindled. Resurgence in the field, however, has been coincident with the time frame of this journal, as first principles are being redeveloped and new methods are arising. This journal successfully acts as a stimulus for that resurgence.
