The September 2025 issue of INSIGHT, the systems engineering practitioners’ magazine, is out now!

This issue explores the relationship between elegance and complexity in systems engineering, a concept that is a key part of the Systems Engineering Vision 2035.

Here are some highlights from the issue:

  • An article that tracks how the use of the term “complex” has changed over the years.
  • Different perspectives on how to evolve our use of the term “complexity” in the future.
  • Case studies from diverse domains like network protocols, urban transport, and astrophysics that show how to transform complex challenges into elegant systems.
  • A curated resource list of books, papers, and frameworks that can guide you in recognizing and designing elegant solutions.

We believe that a collaborative effort is needed to change how our community uses the term complexity. We encourage you to check out this issue and consider how you can contribute to the conversation.

INCOSE members receive complimentary access to INSIGHT as a benefit of their membership. We encourage you to explore this insightful issue and share it with your colleagues.

Enjoy!
