The page goal is to collect references to papers, books and other historical studies and/or artifacts that allow to establish a multi-dimensional picture of the emergence of the practice and understanding of Systems Engineering.

Some dimensions of interest:

• timelines
• domains of application
• human clusters of interactions (geographical, individuals, groups, organizations)
• schools of thought (or understanding?)

Research questions to explore the material:

• What spurred the need for Systems Engineering, conformed the perception of its definition?
