Organizing components structures and behaviors for any simple to complex system
The basic study of system design is the understanding of component parts and their subsequent interaction with one another.[ 1]
Systems design has appeared in a variety of fields, including aeronautics,[ 2] sustainability,[ 3] computer/software architecture,[ 4] and sociology.[ 5]
