美国技术史专家休斯,1983年首先在《动力的网络》(Networks of Power)一书中具体考察了电力传送系统,并提出自己的技术系统模型,该书获得1985年的美国德克斯特奖。1987年休斯又在另一篇文章《大技术系统的进化》(The Evolution of Large Technological Systems)中,从普遍的意义上,对技术系统的社会建构的理论和方法进一步加以阐述。1988年,他又与梅茨(Renate Mayntz)主编了《大技术系统的发展》(The Development of Large Technical Systems)一书,专门针对各种具体的技术系统,诸如:美国、法国和德国的铁路和电话系统,以及美国的航空输运和法国的电子系统等,从而通过大量实证材料的比较研究,来证实不同的技术系统发展和进化遵循相同的序列,具体地说明,社会的政治和经济具体因素如何制约技术系统的形成和发展。使得对技术系统的理论从具体到一般的研究达到一定的水平。
Hughes, a U.S. technology history expert, first examined power transmission systems in 1983 in the book Networks of Power and proposed his own technical system model, which won the 1985 U.S. Dexter prize. Hughes in 1987, in another article, The Evolution of Large Technological Systems, further elaborated in a general sense the theory and method of social construction of technological systems. In 1988 he co-authored with Renate Mayntz the book, The Development of Large Technical Systems, which focuses on specific technical systems such as the railways of the United States, France, and Germany And telephone systems, as well as air transport in the United States and the French electronic system, and so on, through a comparative study of a large number of empirical materials, to confirm that different technological systems evolve and evolve following the same sequence, specifying that the political and economic specificities of society How factors restrict the formation and development of technical systems. Making the theory of technical systems from specific to general research to a certain level.
