About the Promising Directions of System Engineering Development

Abstract

Advanced system engineering should be based on interdisciplinary theory and focused on the systems of the future, becoming more intelligent, self-organizing, resource-efficient, safe and sustainable. As a result of the analysis of forecasts for the use of system engineering, it is proposed to revise and modify the existing scientific and technical views on the role and place of system engineering in Russia. The purpose of this work is to develop the promising directions for the development of system engineering in Russia for various fields of application. In the proposed modified view of the role and place of system engineering as paramount for any kind of systems throughout the life cycle are defined and detailed: • promising directions for the development of existing system engineering for the effective application of the predicted achievements of science, technology and technologies, the development of which will allow obtaining a scientifically based answer to the question "How to achieve the required safety, quality, balanced effects and sustainable operation and development of the system?"; • purposeful steps applicable to the system as a whole, its elements or the set of the systems or elements under consideration when performing standard processes (wherever appropriate and applicable). The implementation of the proposals will allow obtaining the output of standard processes using reasonable logical decisions, confirmed in the life cycle of various kinds of systems by predictive studies to achieve the required safety, quality, balanced effects and sustainable operation and development. A traceability of the effectiveness of scientific and technical system efforts from the plans to the final results will be ensured.
