The committees will hold working meetings following the SSTC report-outs.

  • 2009 INCOSE International Workshop

    January 31–February 3, 2009
    San Francisco, CA

    Sponsored by the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE)

    The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE)'s International Workshop represents an opportunity for systems engineers to contribute to the state of the art of SE. Unlike INCOSE's annual International Symposium and other conferences, there are no paper or panel presentations. Instead, attendees spend four days immersed in a vibrant community of fellow systems engineers who are there to make a difference. Systems engineers at all levels and from all backgrounds are encouraged to engage in working sessions and contribute their knowledge and experience to take the discipline forward. SSE is a member of INCOSE's Corporate Advisory Board (CAB) which also meets during the workshop.

  • 25th Annual National Test and Evaluation Conference

    March 2–5, 2009
    Sheraton Atlantic City Convention Center Hotel, Atlantic City, NJ

    Sponsored by the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) Test & Evaluation Division

    This conference focuses on the full scope of issues related to and impacted by defense and homeland security test and evaluation, with an emphasis on emerging technologies. Topics will include acquisition and T&E policy and procedures, related studies, T&E infrastructure issues, implications of BRAC on the T&E community, modeling and simulation in support of T&E, training and upgrading the T&E workforce, T&E in support of rapid deployment, pressing T&E environmental issues, novel T&E concepts, T&E encroachment issues, implications of feedback from the combat zones, test design approaches, and other related issues.

  • 2009 Spring Simulation Interoperability Workshop

    March 23–27, 2009
    Doubletree Hotel Mission Valley, San Diego, CA

    Sponsored by Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization (SISO)

    This year's theme is Network Modeling & Network Simulation Interoperability. The workshop offers an opportunity to hear guest speakers, review updates on standards development activities and the Certified M&S Professional Program, and view network M&S demos.

  • 19th Annual International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) International Symposium

    July 19–23, 2009
    Singapore

    Sponsored by the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE)

    This symposium is the leading annual international conference on Systems Engineering. An estimated 1000 delegates world-wide will converge upon Singapore to participate in presentations, academic forum, tutorials/courses, workshops, panel discussions and exhibition. The program attracts a mix of professionals, researchers and educators from industry, government and the academia. To be held in Singapore, and in Asia, for the first time, this symposium reflects the importance that INCOSE accords in promoting Systems Engineering in this region.

    INCOSE 2009 will be held in conjuction with the 3rd Asia-Pacific Conference on Systems Engineering (APCOSE 2009). The theme for INCOSE / APCOSE 2009 is East meets West: The Human Dimension to Systems Engineering, highlighting the dramatic expansion in the scope of contemporary Systems Engineering where the human cognitive dimension is becoming an integral part in the Systems Engineering processes. Future systems, where the machines are designed around the man, will benefit from Systems Engineering best practices and processes. Systems Engineering methodologies have been successfully applied to designing large-scale complex engineering projects that are multi-disciplinary in nature.

  • 12th Annual Systems Engineering Conference

    October 26-29, 2008
    Hyatt Regency Mission Bay, San Diego, CA

    Sponsored by the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA), Systems Engineering Division

Past Events

  • 18th Annual International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) International Symposium: Systems Engineering for the Planet

    June 15-19, 2008
    The Netherlands

    The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE)'s Annual International Symposium with its theme "Systems Engineering for the Planet" addresses the expanding scope of Systems Engineering application and responsibility. Examples of this expanding scope are safety & security, disaster control, resource efficiency, infrastructure, transportation systems, climate impact, water management, education & government, and sustainable development. In addition to the presentation of peer-reviewed papers, attendees can hear keynote presentations and panels, tutorials, the Academic Forum, and the Tool Vendor Challenge. Systems engineers at all levels and from all backgrounds are encouraged to attend. SSE is a member of INCOSE's Corporate Advisory Board (CAB) which also meets during the symposium.

  • 11th Annual Systems Engineering Conference

    October 20-23, 2008
    Hyatt Regency Mission Bay, San Diego, CA

    Sponsored by the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA), Systems Engineering Division

    The primary objective of the 11th Annual Systems Engineering Conference is to provide insight, information and lessons learned into how we can improve the overall performance of defense programs via a better, more focused application of systems engineering that will lead to more capable, interoperable and supportable weapon systems for the warfighter, with reduced total ownership costs, to help our military meet its current and new Mission Area and Capabilities requirements.

  • Using System Engineering to Improve Reliability, Maintainability, Supportability, and Logistics (RMS&L) Requirements
