Objectives
-
Exchange ideas among government and academic thought leaders regarding some of the most pressing and important research challenges DoD faces.
-
Learn about the ongoing research projects the SERC is conducting to address those research challenges.
-
Continue to mature the collaboration network among SERC researchers and government.
Themes
- How should the systems engineering community respond to DoD’s seven science and technology priorities – with a specific focus on engineered resilient systems?
- How can systems engineering be performed far more rapidly yet deliver full value?
- Is model-based systems engineering ready for major acquisitions?
