摘要: This paper shows how three systems of types well-known to engineers can be understood as complex systems. is important because research in sciences vibrant and provides critical insight, but if do not understand the aspects they work with daily, may able use these results. To date, engineering has been looking only at exploiting “order” side order-to-chaos spectrum, it time now begin utilize principles from middle chaos spectrum. The examples are INCOSE, process (such a company's standard process), air traffic control. INCOSE represents most volunteer organizations social groups. Most realize that for company network studied by methods. Air control come closest many engineers' definition system. This based on variety sources, application one examples.
