Defining Enterprise Systems Engineering
The burgeoning discipline of Enterprise Systems Engineering (ESE) is consequently developing to deal with complex adaptive systems. ESE extends the TSE discipline and processes in new and different ways. Although the ESE state-of-the-art is still quite immature, the interest and potential benefit of developing such a discipline is extraordinarily high because of the pervasive nature of the internet, wireless communication, ubiquitous computing, intelligent agents, non-hierarchical control, etc. We define an enterprise not as a business entity, nor a very large system, nor even as a system-of-systems, but an entity arising from taking a completely different perspective suggested by these complex behavior patterns. It is not simply a matter of scale. We consider an enterprise to be a collection of systems whose operational capabilities are inextricably intertwined with considerations of people, processes, and technology, whose boundaries are often imprecise, and which can often be characterized by a set of special, additional properties, such as emergent behavior, non-determinism, and environmental dependencies. ESE also considers the entire environment in which the system(s) must operate, including, but not limited to, the human-machine interface, the governance structure, maintenance and support, etc. The architecture of the enterprise and both its explicit requirements and implicit potential capabilities will evolve and emerge as trends in technology, scope of the enterprise, the aggregate user base, and other factors evolve over time.
