As a professional activity, and as an intellectual activity, systems engineering (SE) has strong links to such associated disciplines as decision analysis, operation research, project management, quality management, and systems design. When focussing on systems engineering research, we should distinguish between subjects that are of SE essence and others that more closely correspond to those that are more relevant for related disciplines. In this paper, we propose selected research topics that are believed central to progress and growth in the application of SE.
