16th Annual INCOSE Region II Fall Mini-Conference
Systems Engineering: The Bridge between the Aerospace and Medical Industries
Call for Papers
San Diego is home to diverse industries that rely on Systems Engineering. The theme for this mini-conference was designed to explore how SE is currently utilized in two major San Diego industries and how cross-pollination of ideas, best practices and talent can benefit both industries.
We invite you to submit a one page abstract of your idea for a presentation. Especially encouraged are applying classical SE to regulatory compliance, safety or reliability. In addition, any cross-industry SE discussions are highly desirable. Topics tying aerospace or medical to other industries are welcome as well. Your presentation should be about 20 minutes in length with 10 minutes for questions and answers.
Deadline for abstract submission: September 30, 2011
