Abstract
The boundaries of systems engineering are evolving as system related needs evolve. These ‘fuzzy’ boundaries result in gaps between what users in the systems engineering community need and what the body of knowledge of systems engineering provides. This paper covers various use cases of the body of knowledge of systems engineering and explores gaps in the existing knowledge base in two areas: 1) related disciplines, and 2) emerging systems engineering topics.
