CALL FOR PAPERS # 3

The management of large-scale complex industrial systems has considerable
strategic importance for many enterprises in the world. This has spawned
the relatively new academic field of "system architecture & engineering",
producing a body of research that allows engineers to manage the increasing
complexity of the technical systems they design. By its very nature, this
field is at the interface between industry and academia and requires its
practitioners to be well versed in industrial applications as well as theoretical
knowledge. The ambition of the CSD&M conference is to be the meeting point of
reference for industrial and academic circles working in the design and management
of complex industrial systems.

IMPORTANT DATES

• Optional abstract pre-submission deadline : April 6, 2012
• Submission deadline : April 20, 2012
• Acceptance notice for all contributions: June 29, 2012
• Final version submission deadline: August 31, 2012
