Abstract
In recent years, systems in the real world have become larger and more complex, and the purposes of the systems have become more demanding and increasingly diverse. It is, therefore, urgent to build systems approaches that create new systems engineering and science. In this chapter, the author overviews the future perspective of a systems approach and discusses how to build it, based on the discussions in the activities of the Research Committee on Innovative Systems Approach for Realizing Smarter World established in the Society of Instrument and Control Engineers (SICE). The key is “Viewing Systems from Boundary and Evolution”.
