The conference theme for the INCOSE Spring 09 Conference is Systems
Engineering – Affordable Success. It focuses on the means and tools to lead and
create organizations that develop affordable systems. It is known that systems
complexity has dramatically increased over the last two decades. It is therefore
even more important to develop leaders and processes to more cost effectively
track development costs, calculate complexity, and leverage known solution and
techniques.
Papers in all areas of systems engineering leadership, green solutions, and
complexity, cost, schedule, and performance are encouraged. All types of papers
will be considered. Papers must be submitted in English, the official language
of the INCOSE Spring 09 Conference. Students are especially encouraged to submit
papers.
Topics and questions of special interest include, but are not limited to:
