Third International Engineering Systems Symposium-Design and Governance in Engineering Systems
The CESUN 2012 International Engineering Systems Symposium will be the third in a series. Since the first two highly successful symposia in 2006 and 2009, the field of Engineering Systems has grown by leaps and bounds. In 2012 TU Delft/TPM will offer you the opportunity to explore how the feld of engineering systems has taken root, grown tall and begun to blossom! The CESUN 2012 International Engineering Systems Symposium will focus on the theme effective design and governance of engineering systems. This three-day event will provide broad perspectives on the latest advances in research, cutting-edge techniques for framing the challenges in the feld, and insights into the tools that work in practice.
The Symposium will be organised along the following lines:
- Roots: The foundations of our discipline, such as systems engineering, policy analysis, public policy, operations research
- Trunk: The state of the art in engineering systems, such as complex systems, systems of systems, innovation systems, IT, agent-based modelling, gaming
- Blossoms: New strands and application areas, such as values and ethics, governance, institutions, system earth, gaming simulation
All sessions will be highly interactive, ensuring that your time is spent in active discussion and productive exchange of ideas. Final versions of accepted papers will be made available to all registered participants of the symposium in advance of the meeting date, so that you can come prepared with questions and comments and hit the ground running. During the presentations, you will be invited to give online feedback via the CESUN 2012 wiki and after the symposium your discussion threads will be made available online as part of the symposium proceedings. You will also be invited to cast your vote for the Public’s Paper Prize and the Public’s Presentation Prize. The Gaming Carrousel will be another key feature of the symposium. Here serious games and simulation models will be used to showcase key results. You will also be invited to get some hands-on experience in playing serious games and have the opportunity to attend a serious game design workshop.
