Theme
SMC 2005 provides a world-class forum for all aspects of systems engineering, human-machine systems and emerging cybernetics. In recent years, a trend has emerged in which complex systems are being integrated on a large scale with other self-contained systems to satisfy global objectives. Interoperability of resulting systems is enabled through information exchange and increased levels of automation. In light of this trend, the theme for the conference is the emerging discipline of System of Systems Engineering. Papers related to this theme are especially solicited, including theories, methodologies, and applications of intelligent systems in science, technology, security, education, etcetera.
