Abstracts

You are invited to submit a paper for the annual Systems Engineering Conference.

The primary objective of the conference is to provide insight, information and lessons learned into how we can improve the overall performance of defense programs via a better, more focused application of systems engineering that will lead to more capable, interoperable and supportable weapon systems for the warfighter, with reduced total ownership costs, to help our military meet its current and new mission area and capabilities requirements.

Technical and management presentations are a key tactic in achieving this objective. To this end, you are invited to submit a short (5000 characters maximum) abstract of a presentation for a session. Abstracts must fully describe the planned content and how the presentations will advance the objectives of the conference and session. All accepted presentations will be delivered at the conference in electronic format; full papers are optional and are not required.  Abstracts must include the following administrative information: presentation title, author’s name, title, e-mail address, phone number, mailing address and organization, and the conference session targeted.

Abstracts must be submitted online no later than Monday, June 18, 2018 at:

http://application.ndia.org/abstracts/9870.

NOTE:  The submission deadline has been extended to July 3, 2018.
