EIGHTEENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEMS ENGINEERING (ICSEng05)
LAS VEGAS, USA,
AUGUST 16-18, 2005
(http://www.icseng.info)
This series of International Conferences is jointly organized on a
rotational basis among three institutions, University of Nevada, Las
Vegas, USA, Technical University of Wroclaw, Poland, and Coventry
University, UK. In August 2005, the 18th International Conference will
be held in Las Vegas, NV, at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, USA.
The Proceedings of the conference will be published by IEEE CS.
ICSEng05 is organized jointly with the International Conference on
Computational Intelligence and Multimedia Applications (ICCIMA'05:
www.iccima.org) and the registered participants of ICSEng05 will be
able to attend ICCIMA05.
Scope of Conference:
The Conference will cover the general area of Systems Engineering, with
particular emphasis being placed on applications. It is expected to
include sessions on the following themes:
Avionics
Computer Algorithms, Databases, Parallel and Distributed Systems,
Networks
Digital systems, Architecture
Control Theory, System Identification and Adaptive Control, Nonlinear
Controls
Engineered Systems for Nuclear Waste Management
Environmental Systems and Energy Systems
Expert Systems and Artificial Intelligence

Global Position Systems
Information Theory and Communication Systems
Neural Network and Applications
Requirements Processes
Risk Management
Robotics and Industrial Automation
Systems Engineering Metrics
Systems Engineering Paradigms, Standards and Challenges
System Architecture
Standards and Testing
Signal Processing
Systems Engineering Education
Transportation Systems
Special Tracks:
1. Data Fusion:
Data fusion is the concept of comparing, combining, and interpreting
data over time and from disparate information sources (sensors, data
bases, and knowledge bases) in order to gain a better understanding of
ones environment, scenario, and/or situation. The four primary level
of data fusion include object refinement, situational assessment,
impact assessment, and refinement. The applications of and
technologies associated with data fusion are quite varied.
Applications include (but are not limited to) target tracking, fault
detection and diagnosis, environmental monitoring, control systems,
medical systems, robotics, and traffic control. Technologies in the
field of data fusion include estimation theory, neural networks, fuzzy
logic, control, probability theory, image processing, decision theory,
and data mining. Papers are being sought for this special session on
data fusion which address advances in fusion technologies and
applications of data fusion systems. One page abstracts for the purpose
of reviewing are due by March 10, 2004.

2. Risk Management:
This track is ideal for program/project managers, project personnel,
risk managers, and support personnel wanting to develop and expand
knowledge, and share experiences, on best practices in aerospace risk
management processes. Presentations by invited speakers, followed by a
panel discussion, are provided for track participants. Risk management
is a project-wide effort involving management, engineering, production,
test, and support personnel. Several customers, including NASA and the
DoD, continue to observe that risk management is important to project
success and yet lacks rigor in a majority of space activities. This
track on Current Trends and Best Practices in aerospace risk management
is designed to explore risk management contributions to current and
future space programs, including projects from many customer
communities (including commercial, NASA, DoD, and ESA among others).
Key themes include how practices are applied successfully to programs
and organizations, how the risk process influences decision-making and
project cost management, and selection of successful tools for
quantitative cost and schedule risk analysis. Lessons learned from
executing risk management on a wide variety of programs will be
presented to illustrate implementation of success-oriented risk
processes. One page abstracts for the purpose of reviewing are due by
March 10, 2004.

3. Computer Infrastructure for Systems Biology:
The special session's goal is to bring forth ideas and collaborations
among industrial and academic bioinformaticia ns, biocomputing
professionals, data analysts, and system biologists to facilitate
systems biology research and findings. Both research papers (6 pages,
IEEE Proceedings format) and poster papers (2 pages) are solicited to
explore case histories of building and maintaining IT infrastructures
that support advanced biological research. Both industrial and academic
contributions are welcome.
Systems Biology is an emerging field that seeks to analyze disparate
forms of biological data with an aim of uncovering the function and
interaction of the underlying biological systems. It is characterized
by voluminous and heterogeneous data, incomplete data sets, low data
signal/noise ratios, and extreme difficulties in precisely reproducing
experimental conditions. These drawbacks are offset by the profound
interest in the field by the Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology
industries and by the illumination of biological research in general.
We welcome papers/presentations that examine fresh perspectives and
profound experiences in the research and development of computer
systems enabling systems biology. Topics of interests include (but are
not limited to): Microarray Data Analysis, Functional Imaging and
Pattern Recognition, Biological database integration and knowledge
representation, Ontologies and semantic web systems for biology,
Biomedical literature text mining, Micro-surgery and
micro-manipulation, Application of nanotechnology to biological
systems, Protein-protein interactions, Proteomics, Protein-small
molecule interactions, Metabolic and Genetic Pathways, Visualization of
complex data relationships, Biological data tracking and labelling,
Clinical Informatics, Laboratory Information Management Systems,
Measuring cellular metabolism and cellular signalling.

Submissions:
We invite you to submit a one page abstract for the purpose of
reviewing by March 10, 2005. Accepted authors will be invited to submit
a full paper (6 pages maximum limit) for presentation. All abstracts
are to be submitted in PDF, postscript or MS word version
electronically. For more information on submissions refer to:
http://www.ee.unlv.edu/~selvaraj/icse05/submission/. Please follow the
ICSEng'05 guidelines for more information on submission. Submission
implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and
present the paper. All abstracts will be reviewed by two independent
referees.
Speal Poster Session:
ICSEng'05 will include a special poster session devoted to recent work
and work-in-progress. Abstracts are solicited for this session (2 page
limit) in camera ready form, and may be submitted up to 30 days before
the conference date. They will not be refereed and will not be included
in the proceedings, but will be distributed to attendees upon arrival.
Students are especially encouraged to submit abstracts for this
session.
