IEEE System, Man, and Cybernetics Society announces the Sixth International Conference on System of Systems Engineering (SoSE) with its vast ramifications in numerous engineering fields such as control, computing, communication, information technology and in applications such manufacturing, defense, national security, aerospace, aeronautics, energy, environment, healthcare, and transportation. The conference theme is “SoSE in Cloud Computing, Smart Grid, and Cyber Security,” three areas of significant investment within the public and private sectors as well as being significant initiatives areas of IEEE. Papers on theories, methodologies, and applications of System of Systems Engineering in science, technology, industry, and education are welcome.


Contributed Papers:

Papers should be five to six pages in length, but an additional two pages will be permitted at an extra charge of US $200 per page. We will also accept three-page poster papers (in PDF format). Detailed instructions for paper/poster submission and format can be found on the conference web site (http://www.ieeesose2011.org). Invitations will be made to the authors of the best papers to submit an extended version of papers to the IEEE Systems Journal (systemsjournal.org) or book chapters for the CRC Taylor-Francis SoSE Book Series.


Invited Sessions:

Invited sessions are to provide a forum for focused discussions on new topics, or innovative applications of established approaches. An invited session consists of four papers that must be electronically submitted for review using the same procedure for contributed papers. A proposal must include: (1) Title, (2) Organizers, (3) Brief Statement of Purpose for the session, and (4) A List of Authors and Paper Titles. The session organizers must submit proposals to either the Tutorial or Organized Sessions Co-Chair (brian.sauser@stevens.edu) by February 14, 2011.


Tutorial Proposals:

Proposals for half-day tutorials must be submitted to the Tutorials Chair. Proposals that address topics related to the conference theme. Proposals must include (1) Title, (2) Organizers, (3) Objectives and Topics, (4) Intended Audience, and (5) List of Speakers.
