This symposium seeks to create an interactive forum for the advancement of the practice of systems engineering across the multiple disciplines and specialty areas associated with the engineering of complex systems. The symposium will provide a venue for systems engineering practitioners, managers, researchers, and educators to exchange innovative concepts, ideas, applications, and lessons learned addressing:

• Applications-oriented topics on large-scale systems and systems-of-systems in topics noted on the right.
• Systems engineering, educations standards, processes and methodologies for the systems-of systems environment.
• Research opportunities and results relating to systems-of-systems
