Concepts of Modularity in Systems Engineering and Developmental Biology
Abstract
Systems Engineering and Systems Science are separate fields with some common ground. Systems Engineering generally deals with the creation of purpose-built manmade systems. its practitioners generally have engineering backgrounds. the prominent professional organization for Systems Engineering is INCOSE. the term "Systems Science" is often used to describe an interdisciplinary inquiry into the nature of complex systems, whether manmade or natural. its practitioners may have backgrounds in biology, chemistry, social science, natural philosophy or economics, to name a few fields. a prominent professional organization for Systems Science is the International Society for Systems Science (ISSS). Systems Engineering and Systems Science both have the intent of being able to support informed interactions and decisions that affect the future. as an example of the common ground, expressions of the concept of modularity are compared from the standpoints of Systems Engineering and Evolutionary Biology. © 2008 by Dr. Cihan Dagli and Timothy Crabtree.
