Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Organising Committee of the 2008 Systems Engineering Test and Evaluation Conference and our Industry and Defence partners, I extend a warm invitation to you and trust you will join us during 22-24 September in the National Capital. We have designed SETE2008 to be both interesting and highly relevant to the systems engineering and test and evaluation challenges that continue to emerge as we confront complex systems and system-of-systems. The tutorials and workshops to be delivered on the first day complement the focus on experiences, lessons and issues of systems integration to be presented during the two days that follow.
With a particular emphasis on integration of complex systems within systems of systems, SETE2008 will be a valuable experience for; senior executives challenged to ensure governance whilst delivering effective enterprise outcomes, managers of system integration activities, practitioners in systems engineering and test and evaluation, all who define system requirements, all involved in capability systems acquisition and program management, or for designing highly capable systems to ensure they operate safely and reliably, and researchers and teachers alike.
Please register online and join us in this exciting conference experience. Make the most of an invaluable opportunity to hear how industry, government and academic leaders in the fields of systems engineering and test and evaluation are confronting the systems and systemsof- systems integration challenges. Meet and interact with delegates from Australia, Asia and members of the wider international community.
I look forward to welcoming you to Canberra in September 2008.
Dr Rainer Ignetik
Conference Organising Committee Chair
