The author of this article is using this page as a means to legitimize a "new" field for which there is not yet any reliable, published sources. What the author does here is synthesize a variety of sources in an attempt to produce original research. The academic papers linked from this article all discuss visualization, but none discuss "systems visualization" (with the exception of the Rivet project, which uses the phrasing "computer systems visualization" but in no way engages with the definition described in the article.") Many of the sources are simply listings for a course taught by Shiva Ayyadurai at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A Google search of this professor shows that he has made other controversial claims about inventing technologies such as e-mail, and the only other sites I can locate on "systems visualization" seem to be operated by this professor.

 * Delete. The term has no real meaning and appears to be WP:MADEUP. Definitely no evidence of sources to establish notability as required by WP:GNG.  Msnicki (talk) 16:23, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
