The “Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge” (SEBoK) is a moderated wiki and online resource of industry information, practices and case studies.
The SEBoK provides a guide to the key knowledge sources and references of systems engineering that are organized and explained to assist a wide variety of individuals. It is a living product, accepting community input continuously, with regular refreshes and updates. The SEBoK is not a compendium but instead references existing literature.
The SEBoK is divided into eight parts and includes 100+ articles on such topics as emergence, complexity, systems of systems, verification, enterprise systems engineering, and the relationship between systems engineering and related disciplines, as well as short case studies and vignettes on the application of systems engineering knowledge, and an extensive glossary of terms and primary references. Navigation through the SEBoK is facilitated by a wide range of features built into the underlying wiki engine.
The SEBoK is jointly managed by INCOSE, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers – Computer Society (IEEE-CS), and the Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC).
