“…Chestnut described the positive contributions of our field but noted that we as engineers have also helped to create "…a world in which international relations are such that the very civilizations we have helped to build over centuries can be destroyed in a matter of hours" (Chestnut, 1986). He had a deep conviction that "control systems people, working with persons skilled in other professions, can increase the likelihood for a considerable improvement in international relations in the years ahead" (Chestnut, 1983). Jay W. Forrester was the founder of the field of industrial dynamics, and the methodology of system dynamics.…”

Expanding the capacity of systems engineering to include evaluating and designing social systems is a desired goal as stated in the INCOSE SE Vision 2025. Systems engineering applications in sociotechnical contexts, from management and organizational to learning and education studies is already documented. There is room for adaptability in systems engineering methodology to accommodate a further reach into the social domain. The growing interest in this expansion is leading to the establishment of the term: social systems engineering. Social systems engineering is a reciprocal relationship between systems engineering and the social sciences. More specifically this means: 1) adapting/applying systems engineering methods/tools in a range of social policy areas in industry, government and academia; and 2) developing/applying social science theory and methods for the integration of teams and communities that are engineering systems. In this paper, we provide an overview of the history of social systems engineering and develop the concept to provide systems engineers with a conceptual foundation for using social systems in their systems engineering practice.

“…However, some deep research is needed to understand, and not solely identify, the latter. More than 20 years have elapsed since the first dedicated event devoted to exploring supplemental ways for conflict management and improving international stability took place using methods of systems science (Chestnut, 1984). By and large these are as relevant today as they were in the past.…”

Modern advanced information technologies resulting from automation of control and decision processes along with ubiquitous communications have a multitude of impacts on development of national economies within the global economy. Thus all kinds of social systems, being essentially human centred systems, is a cross-, inter-and multi-disciplinary challenge to systems and control researchers. Social systems in modern civilization are reviewed from the systems science viewpoint and on the grounds of recent developments in control science and technology and with regard to globalization paradigm. The innovative systems approaches employing results from hybrid systems theory and dynamical networks are needed to address the now-old challenges of combined knowledge and technology transfer world-wide for sustainable development that may remedy climate change and some of the negative socio-economic aspects of globalization.
