“…In other words, SE still does not have a comprehensive, detailed knowledge representation that describes the concepts that domain experts agree upon, as well as their terms, definitions, and semantics. Although some initial effort has been made to reduce the miscommunication and misunderstanding between stakeholders by formalizing SE terminologies, there still lacks a cohesive knowledge representation to conceptualize the entire SE body of knowledge (Adcock et al, 2016;Di Maio, 2010;Martin et al, 2013). SE is a multidimensional, interdisciplinary knowledge process that contains complex problems that cannot be easily solved by traditional engineering paradigms.…”

“…However, ontology-based SE (OBSE) is still in its infancy. Despite the fact that several ontologies have been created for solving particular SE problems (Engel et al, 2018;Givehchi et al, 2017;Hallberg et al, 2014), there is a lack of mature and formal ontologies for depicting the entire SE body of knowledge (Adcock et al, 2016;Di Maio, 2010;Martin et al, 2013).…”

“…There are many incentives to build a BOK in different disciplines cited by many researchers: [4] said that "BOK describes relevant knowledge for a discipline and will need show the consensus in the Knowledge Areas (KA), and related disciplines"; in addition, the same source states that BOK is useful for curricula design for innovation while industry context present. [5] said that BOK is a practice to support education, research, professional development, and practice. Furthermore, [6] listed that BOK will allow to meet the challenge of rapidly changing landscape and the challenge of accommodating the diversity of emerging technologies.…”

The cyber world is an ever-changing world and cyber security is most important and touches the lives of everyone on the cyber world including researchers, students, businesses, academia, and novice user. The chapter suggests a body of knowledge that incorporates the view of academia as well as practitioners. This research attempts to put basic step and a framework for cyber security body of knowledge and to allow practitioners and academicians to face the problem of lack of standardization. Furthermore, the chapter attempts to bridge the gap between the different audiences. The gap is so broad that the term of cyber security is not agreed upon even in spelling. The suggested body of knowledge may not be perfect, yet it is a step forward.

“…Systems thinking has been recognized as an effective means to cope with complexity and generate effective solutions to complex management problems (Jackson, 2019). Systems thinking is a discipline for seeing wholes, concerned with identifying all the entities (and other issues) that might be important to the system (Crawley, 2016), as well as for understanding, or intervening in problem situations, based on the principles and concepts of the systems paradigm (Adcock, 2023). The essence of systems thinking discipline lies in seeing interrelationships rather than linear cause-effect chains and seeing processes of change rather than snapshots (Senge, 1990).…”

This paper investigates organisational resilience as an emergent property arising from the interactions of specific organisational competencies. Drawing on the principles of emergence and the Resource-Based View (RBV) theory, the study aims to support Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) by identifying the competencies that contribute to resilience; and defining how these competencies should interact for an organisation to be considered resilient. The paper outlines the process for consolidating an organisational resilience framework based on the ISO 22316 and BS 65000 international standards, as well as on the resilience cycle defined by the Fraunhofer institute. The methodology employed in this study includes a review of the relevant literature on organisational resilience, systems thinking, and the RBV theory. Additionally, the paper provides an analysis of the relationships between the three pillars of the framework, as well as the identification and merging of activities and abilities from both the ISO 22316 and BS 65000 standards. The study then identifies the organisational competencies required to acquire the abilities and execute the activities present in the organisational resilience framework. It also classifies the identified competencies into a competence atlas based on Erpenbeck’s competence atlas but adapted to organisational competencies. The methodology applied in this work supports SMEs by defining a process for: identifying organisational competencies; and, defining their interactions to achieve desirable properties at the organisational level, while offering significant insights for the strategic planning process of organisations. Furthermore, it aims to raise awareness on the importance of carefully analysing the interactions among organisational assets in complex operational scenarios. Finally, the findings obtained, provide organisations with a set of organisational competencies, classified into a competence atlas, which enables them to become resilient in accordance with a resilience framework based on internationally recognized standards.
