Systems Engineering

Journal Title：Systems Engineering

Systems Engineering is a discipline whose responsibility it is to create and operate technologically enabled systems that satisfy stakeholder needs throughout their life cycle. Systems engineers reduce ambiguity by clearly defining stakeholder needs and customer requirements, they focus creativity by developing a system’s architecture and design and they manage the system’s complexity over time. Considerations taken into account by systems engineers include, among others, quality, cost and schedule, risk and opportunity under uncertainty, manufacturing and realization, performance and safety during operations, training and support, as well as disposal and recycling at the end of life. The journal welcomes original submissions in the field of Systems Engineering as defined above, but also encourages contributions that take an even broader perspective including the design and operation of systems-of-systems, the application of Systems Engineering to enterprises and complex socio-technical systems, the identification, selection and development of systems engineers as well as the evolution of systems and systems-of-systems over their entire lifecycle.

Systems Engineering integrates all the disciplines and specialty groups into a coordinated team effort forming a structured development process that proceeds from concept to realization to operation. Increasingly important topics in Systems Engineering include the role of executable languages and models of systems, the concurrent use of physical and virtual prototyping, as well as the deployment of agile processes. Systems Engineering considers both the business and the technical needs of all stakeholders with the goal of providing a quality product that meets the user needs. Systems Engineering may be applied not only to products and services in the private sector but also to public infrastructures and socio-technical systems whose precise boundaries are often challenging to define.

系统工程是一门学科，其职责是创建和运行技术支持的系统，以满足利益相关者在整个生命周期内的需求。系统工程师通过明确定义利益相关者的需求和客户要求来减少歧义，他们通过开发系统的架构和设计来集中创造力，并且随着时间的推移管理系统的复杂性。系统工程师考虑的因素包括质量、成本和进度、不确定性下的风险和机会、制造和实现、操作期间的性能和安全、培训和支持，以及报废时的处置和回收。该杂志欢迎上述系统工程领域的原创投稿，但也鼓励采取更广泛视角的贡献，包括系统系统的设计和操作、系统工程在企业和复杂社会技术系统中的应用，系统工程师的识别、选择和开发，以及系统和系统系统在其整个生命周期中的演变。

系统工程将所有学科和专业组整合到一个协调的团队中，形成一个结构化的开发过程，从概念到实现再到操作。系统工程中越来越重要的主题包括可执行语言和系统模型的作用、物理和虚拟原型的同时使用以及敏捷流程的部署。系统工程考虑所有利益相关者的业务和技术需求，目标是提供满足用户需求的优质产品。系统工程不仅可以应用于私营部门的产品和服务，还可以应用于公共基础设施和社会技术系统，其精确边界通常难以界定。

Systems Engineering创刊于1998年，由WILEY出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖工程：工业 - 工程技术全领域，此刊是中等级别的SCI期刊，所以过审相对来讲不是特别难，但是该刊专业认可度不错，仍然是一本值得选择的SCI期刊 。平均审稿速度>12周，或约稿，影响因子指数1，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
