8th Aerospace Systems, Adaptive Systems and AI Special Session, IEEE Systems Conference:
Halifax, Canada
Paper Submission Deadline: November 23, 2025

Aerospace products are often complex and pose significant challenges to systems engineering, in particular safety issues. This special session welcomes discussions on systems engineering issues related to aerospace domain. Authors may submit theoretical or practical use case papers in the aerospace area or other areas where the solutions can also be used by aerospace applications. Observing the recent progresses in adaptive/adaptable systems and AI, topics that are also related with aerospace systems, this session also calls papers in these areas.
