Promote the advancement and understanding of Systems Science, Systems Theories and their application to SE. 

We have the following objectives:

• Encourage advancement of Systems Science principles and concepts as they apply to Systems Engineering.
• Promote awareness of Systems Science as a foundation for Systems Engineering.
• Highlight linkages between Systems Science theories and empirical practices of Systems Engineering.

Systems science provides a rigorous, underlying basis to the empirically derived practices to systems engineering that have evolved over time.

Full Version of the Working Group’s Charter

Since the working group has a collaborative working agreement with the International Society of Systems Sciences (ISSS) many of our participants are not INCOSE members. Therefore we maintain a presence on our wiki site at https://sites.google.com/site/syssciwg/ 

We also have a google discussion group at https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#%21forum/syssciwg 

You can join this WG by going to our discussion group page and registering yourself as a member.

The working group has a number of on-going projects, each of which has been producing useful information. These products can be found on the project page for each at our WG wiki site  https://sites.google.com/site/syssciwg/
