YURTSEVEN, K. (2011). Systems engineering and soft systems methodology: a review. Doğuş Üniversitesi Dergisi, 1 (1), pp. 225-230.Abstract
In this paper, Soft Systems Methodology (SSM), quite a recent development in Systems Engineering, is reviewed briefly. First, a historical background on Systems Engineering that led to the emergence of this area is provided. Here, the limitations of 'Hard' Systems Engineering in dealing with ill-structured socio-economic problems are summarised, and the reasons for SSM becoming a relatively more 'successful' approach are given. The paper is concluded by a review of the SSM Methodology. Bu makalede Sistem Mühendisliği konusunda en son gelişmelerden birisi olan ‘Soft Systems Methodology (SSM)’ konusu kısaca incelenmektedir. Öncelikle, SSM’ in oluşumunu hazırlayan koşullar Sistem Mühendisliğinin kısa bir tarihçesi içinde sunulmaktadır. Burada ‘‘Hard’Systems Engineering’’ yaklaşımının kolaylıkla formule edilemeyen sosyo-ekonomik problemlerin çözümündeki yetersizlikleri özetlenmektedir. Daha sonra, sosyo-ekonomik problemlerin çözümünde SSM’ in niye daha başarılı olabileceği tartışılmakta ve SSM Metodolojisi ana hatlanyla anlatılmaktadır.

Extension of Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov lemma to descriptor systems
Çamlıbel, Mehmet Kanat; Frasca, Roberto (Elsevier, 2009-12)This paper presents a complete analogue of the well-known Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov lemma for descriptor systems, i.e. necessary and sufficient linear matrix inequality conditions for passivity and positive realness of ... -
Robust H∞ SMC of uncertain switched systems with time delay
Lian, Jie; Dimirovski, Georgi M.; Zhao, Jun (IEEE, 2008)This paper investigates the robust Hinfin sliding mode control problem for a class of uncertain switched delay systems. A single sliding surface is constructed such that the reduced-order equivalent sliding motion restricted ... -
Algebraic necessary and sufficient conditions for the controllability of conewise linear systems
Çamlıbel, Mehmet Kanat; Heemels, W. P. M. H.; Schumacher, J. M. (IEEE, 2008-04)The problem of checking certain controllability prop erties of even very simple piecewise linear systems is known to be undecidable. This paper focuses on conewise linear systems, i.e. systems for which the state space is ...
