IEEE SMC Society announces the 5th International Conference on System of Systems Engineering (SoSE) with its vast ramifications in numerous engineering fields such as control, computing, communication, information technology and the applications to manufacturing, defense, national and homeland security, aerospace, aeronautics, energy, environment, transport. The SoSE 2010, to be held in Loughborough, UK from 22nd-24th June 2010, will provide a world-class forum of all aspects of systems engineering, human-machine systems and emerging cybernetics. In addition, the ICSOS Workshop will take place on 25th June, 2010. (Conference and Workshop have 2 different registration fees. See respective web sites.) The conference theme is “SoSE in Sustainable Systems for 21st Century” reflecting the need of growing recognition that significant changes in large-scale systems integration.

The maximum number of pages is limited to six, including figures. A maximum of 2 additional pages will be permitted at an extra page charge of US $200 per page. We will also accept three-page posters (in PDF format). Detailed instructions for paper/poster submission and format can be found on the conference web site (http://www.ieeesose2010.org). Extended version of best papers can be submitted to IEEE Systems Journal (systemsjournal.org) or book chapters for the CRC Taylor-Francis SoSE Book Series.
