USC to host SERC Task Order Workshop January 29-30,2009
The tasks have two main objectives. One is to identify and propagate information about the best-available EMs and MPTs in three DoD domains (weapons platforms, systems of systems, and net-centric services) across three levels of management (contractors, DoD Program Managers and Program Executive Officers, and DoD enterprise management). The other is to work with its sponsors to develop an agenda of EM and MPT research; technology maturity and transition; and technology awareness and education that help the DoD effect continuous improvement of its systems engineering capabilities. More information about the SERC can be found at http://www.sercuarc.org
The first day of the workshop, January 29, is for just the EM and MPT task teams to coordinate their progress and plans, and to prepare presentations and discussion items for the second day. The second day, January 30, will bring together the task teams, the SERC sponsors and other collaborating institutions, and DoD-related industry and government systems engineering stakeholders to assimilate the tasks’ plans and progress to date, and to explore opportunities for participating in EM and MPT evaluations planned as parts of the tasks. We will provide overviews of the SERC and tasks by the sponsors, SERC leadership, and task leaders; followed by breakout sessions to discuss EM and MPT experiences, needs, and opportunities for further collaborative activities. The workshop will end at 3pm with short summaries and identification of next steps by the EM and MPT task leaders.
This event is open to SERC collaborators and invited guests only.
