This book describes the fundamental principles of systems science so engineers and other scholars can put them into practical use at work and in their personal lives. Systems science aims to determine systemic similarities among different disciplines and to develop applicable solutions in many fields of inquiry.

Ten systems science principles that open engineers’ and scholars’ horizons to practical insights related to their areas of interest
A methodology for designing holistic systems that exhibit resilient behavior to overcome systems’ context uncertainties
The most critical current dilemma of humankind―the global environment and energy crises, as well as a systemic, no-nonsense action plan to deal with these issues
Independent articles describing how engineers and scholars can utilize systems science creatively in (1) engineering and systemic psychology; (2) delivering value and resolving conflicts; (3) multi-objective, multi-agent decision-making; (4) systems engineering using category theory; (5) holistic risk management using systems of systems failures methodology; and (6) systemic accident and mishap analysis

Systems Science for Engineers and Scholars contains a broad spectrum of insights as well as an extensive set of examples and graphics that make it ideal for professionals and students interested in a holistic, systems-oriented approach.
