IEEE Systems 2009

Conference Theme The theme of the IEEE Systems Conference is Engineering Complex Integrated Systems and Systems-of-systems Implications for Systems Engineering, Systems Integration, and Systems Thinking.

Background The IEEE Systems Council facilitates interactions among communities of interest on system-level problems and ap- plications. System-level thinking is essential in the world today, not only for technical systems, but also for society at large. The Council addresses the discipline of systems engineering, including the issues and complexities of system- level and system-of-systems applications, focusing on the total systems effectiveness of complex integrated systems of national and global significance.

Conference Objectives This conference seeks to create an interactive forum for the advancement of the practice of system design, development, and management, across the multiple disciplines and specialty areas associated with the engineering of systems. The conference will provide a venue for systems engineering practitioners, managers, researchers, and educators to exchange innovative concepts, ideas, applications, and lessons learned addressing.

We invite authors to submit an extended abstract of 3 to 4 pages in length, including figures, tables and references. The extended abstract should summarize the scope of the paper and the primary results and findings, emphasizing new advances, theories and/ or applications so that the program committee will be able to understand the originality and the value of the work. Abstracts should be submitted electronically to the EDAS Website at www.edas.info. Please submit to IEEE SysCon 2009.
