SystemsBased
Systemsbased is a term used to describe approaches that integrate components and their interactions in larger systems, focusing on emergent properties and feedback loops rather than isolated parts. It is used across disciplines such as software engineering, healthcare, policy, and education, to guide design, evaluation, and improvement.
The term is a variant of "systems-based" or "systems thinking." While "systems-based" is common, some authors write
Core principles include holistic analysis, boundary definition, stakeholder involvement, lifecycle thinking, and feedback-driven learning. Methods may
Applications: In software engineering, systemsbased design emphasizes architecture that supports reliability and interoperability. In health care,
Benefits and challenges: Potential benefits include improved resilience, efficiency, and adaptation. Criticisms include complexity, higher upfront
