System Design in Higher Education: Achievements and Insights (2022)
Purdue Fort Wayne faces challenges including demographic shifts, financial strain, and staff turnover. These hinder its ability to achieve its mission of student success. The Student Success Standard Process (SSSP) project used systems insights to improve the institution’s ability to foster student success. 

Information Model to Advance Explainable AI-Based Decision Support Systems in Manufacturing System Design
David S Cochran published a paper about the utilization of artificial intelligence in the area of manufacturing. 

The objective is to propose an information model to express system design requirements with the goal to provide a transparent representation of decisions as well as alternatives of decisions to improve the description of artificial intelligence-based decision support systems during the manufacturing system (re)design phase.
