Journal Title：Systems Engineering

Systems Engineering is a discipline whose responsibility it is to create and operate technologically enabled systems that satisfy stakeholder needs throughout their life cycle. Systems engineers reduce ambiguity by clearly defining stakeholder needs and customer requirements, they focus creativity by developing a system’s architecture and design and they manage the system’s complexity over time. Considerations taken into account by systems engineers include, among others, quality, cost and schedule, risk and opportunity under uncertainty, manufacturing and realization, performance and safety during operations, training and support, as well as disposal and recycling at the end of life. The journal welcomes original submissions in the field of Systems Engineering as defined above, but also encourages contributions that take an even broader perspective including the design and operation of systems-of-systems, the application of Systems Engineering to enterprises and complex socio-technical systems, the identification, selection and development of systems engineers as well as the evolution of systems and systems-of-systems over their entire lifecycle.

Systems Engineering integrates all the disciplines and specialty groups into a coordinated team effort forming a structured development process that proceeds from concept to realization to operation. Increasingly important topics in Systems Engineering include the role of executable languages and models of systems, the concurrent use of physical and virtual prototyping, as well as the deployment of agile processes. Systems Engineering considers both the business and the technical needs of all stakeholders with the goal of providing a quality product that meets the user needs. Systems Engineering may be applied not only to products and services in the private sector but also to public infrastructures and socio-technical systems whose precise boundaries are often challenging to define.

系統工程是一門學科，其職責是創建和運行技術支持的系統，以滿足利益相關者在其整個生命周期內的需求。系統工程師通過明確定義利益相關者的需求和客戶要求來減少歧義，他們通過開發系統的架構和設計來集中創造力，并隨著時間的推移管理系統的復雜性。系統工程師考慮的因素包括質量、成本和進度、不確定性下的風險和機會、制造和實現、運行期間的性能和安全性、培訓和支持以及報廢時的處置和回收等。本期刊歡迎上述系統工程領域的原創投稿，但也鼓勵從更廣闊的視角進行投稿，包括系統的設計和運行、系統工程在企業和復雜社會技術系統中的應用、系統工程師的識別、選擇和發展以及系統和系統的系統在整個生命周期中的演變。

系統工程將所有學科和專業組整合到一個協調的團隊工作中，形成一個從概念到實現再到運營的結構化開發過程。系統工程中越來越重要的主題包括可執行語言和系統模型的作用、物理和虛擬原型的并發使用以及敏捷流程的部署。系統工程考慮所有利益相關者的業務和技術需求，目標是提供滿足用戶需求的優質產品。系統工程不僅適用于私營部門的產品和服務，還適用于公共基礎設施和社會技術系統，這些系統的精確邊界通常很難定義。

Systems Engineering創刊于1998年，由John Wiley and Sons Inc.出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋工程：工業 - 工程技術全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 12周，或約稿 ，影響因子指數1.6，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
