“Systems Engineering (SE) is an interdisciplinary approach and means to enable the realization of successful
systems. It focuses on a holistic and concurrent approach to understand stakeholder needs, exploring opportunities,
documenting requirements, and synthesizing, verifying, validating, and evolving solutions while considering the
complete problem, from system concept exploration through system disposal.1
It is centered on defining the customer needs and required functionality early in the development cycle,
documenting requirements, then proceeding with design synthesis and system validation while considering the
complete problem: operations, performance, test, manufacturing, cost & schedule, training & support, and disposal.
It integrates all the disciplines and specialty groups into a team effort forming a structured development process
that proceeds from system concept exploration to production and operation. Systems Engineering considers both the
business and the technical needs of the customers with the goal of providing a quality product that meets the user
needs.”2
CIISE16, the INCOSE Italia Conference on Systems Engineering, with its three days program, is the second full-
fledged event of this type organized by the Italian Chapter of the International Council on Systems Engineering
(INCOSE) and the Italian Association on Systems Engineering (AISE), and it is set to become a recurring event.
