The '''Systems Modeling''' [[Special Integration Group]] was launched...

==Focus of the Systems Modeling SIG==
Complex engineered systems arise from the collective and purposeful work of people. Yet, their realization and management often results in non-desired and/or unexpected emerging characteristics and/or behaviors.
In this SIG we seek:to better understand the systems engineering worldviews that dominate systems engineering practice in the field,
how these world-views enhance and/or restrict systems engineering practice, and what is a potential morphology to bring together the positivist systems engineering perspective and the holistic perspective from systems science.

Systems engineering practice can be broken down into three distinct realms: <br>
1) engineering of systems, <br>
2) process and control of systems, and <br>
3) program management. <br>
The science and practice of these three realms has been studied extensively. However, their holistic integration, especially at their intersections, where human activity systems are key to their performance, is still to be explored in more detail. With that in mind, we can establish that complex engineered systems arise from the collective and purposeful work of people by following the three systems engineering practice realms. Yet, their realization and management oftentimes results in non-desired and/or unexpected emerging characteristics and/or behaviors.
Within that framework, this SIG explores:
the systems engineering word-views that dominate systems engineering practice, especially in the three realms intersections,
how these world-views enhance and/or restrict systems engineering practice, and
what is a potential morphology to bring together the positivist systems engineering perspective and the holistic perspective from systems science.

The SIG also focuses on the coherence of AR and other SIGs in the ISSS. The last focus was on the [[Critical Social Theory]] perspective that some action researchers share with [[Critical Systems Thinking]].
