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

• Applications-oriented topics on large-scale systems and systems-of-systems
  in topics noted below
• Systems engineering, education, standards, processes and methodologies for
  the system-of systems environment
• Research opportunities and results relating to systems-of-systems
