Every sprinter knows the importance of the first steps out of the blocks. The start is absolutely critical to their success in the race. No sprinter would hamper his start by trading his speedy, lightweight running spikes for a pair of heavy construction boots. And yet, systems engineers quite often …

We all understand that our complicated world is giving way to a more complex one. We also recognize that our systems engineering techniques used to create modular designs are breaking down as we deal with new levels of complexity. It seems we don’t talk so much about modularity and its …
