KSEE 2025: Transdisciplinary collaboration is key to successful systems development

Abstract

When developing complex systems, we rely on a well functional organization, often a «matrix organization». Bridging the organizational boundaries means connecting to different «worlds» with own vocabular and culture. As the world becomes increasingly complex and fast-paced, the challenge of bridging various areas of expertise becomes progressively more challenging. 

In order to obtain the desired capabilities, it is often a necessary to involve systems of systems (SoS), and even systems of systems of systems (SoSoS), including enabling systems. This presents challenges in collaboration across companies and delivery chains. Another dimension is added by IT systems through digital engineering. Modeling and data are dominating our modern way of developing systems; we need to communicate and collaborate through data. As a hinder, Cyber-security stops the flow of information and knowledge. The question arises: when developing a complex system, how do we collaborate across different technology areas, tools, domains, product groups, hierarchical levels, sectors, companies and countries?
