The Hampton Roads Area chapter of the International Council on Systems Engineering (HRA-INCOSE) invites members and non-members, as well as university, corporate, and government organizations to submit presentation proposals for a conference addressing the theme: “Systems Engineering and Systems Thinking – Back to Basics.”  The scope for the conference includes two tracks featuring research and practitioner presentations, a poster session, panel discussions, a career fair, and an evening networking reception.

 

 

The conference targets systems engineers, industrial engineers, and process engineers working in a range of problem domains, as well as university students interested in pursuing systems engineering or a related field.  HRA-INCOSE seeks to foster exchange of ideas and experience between practitioners, faculty members at regional universities and colleges, post-graduate students pursuing master’s and doctoral work, as well as undergraduate students new to “systems thinking.”  Presentation topics may include, but are not limited to:

 

• Case studies explaining actual systems engineering problems, • Empirical research in the field of Systems Engineering

• Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) application and challenges,

• Systems engineering procedures and skills,

• Managing risks and opportunities,

• Lessons learned from application of tools and methods,

• Systems engineering problems for Systems of Systems and Enterprise Systems,

• Challenges from open systems, complexity, and uncertainty.

• Simulations
