摘要

我们如何表示系统是数学、科学和工程学历史的基础。基于模型的工程学方法将系统表征的性质从历史散文形式转变为显式数据结构,更直接地与科学和数学的数据结构相媲美。然而,使用模型并不能保证表征更简单--事实上,人们对模型的一种典型担心是它们可能过于复杂。 系统表征的最小化既有理论意义,也有实际意义。数学和科学方面的兴趣在于,系统 "最小表示 "的大小是其复杂性的定义之一。工程实践的意义在于,工程规格的大小和冗余对系统工程流程的有效性提出了挑战。INCOSE 的思想领袖们提出了一个问题:如何才能使系统工作简化 10:1,从而吸引更多的全球从业人员。因此,我们不禁要问:什么是最小的系统模型?

What Is the Smallest Model of a System?

How we represent systems is fundamental to the history of mathematics, science, and engineering. Model-based engineering methods shift the nature of representation of systems from historical prose forms to explicit data structures more directly comparable to those of science and mathematics. However, using models does not guarantee simpler representation—indeed a typical fear voiced about models is that they may be too complex.

Minimality of system representations is of both theoretical and practical interest. The mathematical and scientific interest is that the size of a system's “minimal representation” is one definition of its complexity. The practical engineering interest is that the size and redundancy of engineering specifications challenge the effectiveness of systems engineering processes. INCOSE thought leaders have asked how systems work can be made 10:1 simpler to attract a 10:1 larger global community of practitioners. And so, we ask: What is the smallest model of a system?
