The 4th International Engineering Systems Symposium will take place in Hoboken, New Jersey and New York City on June 8-11 2014. The symposium will cover a wide range of interdisciplinary topics related to complex engineering systems. Papers and workshop proposals are solicited for the Symposium describing original fundamental and applied research. Posters and oral presentation formats will be used at the symposium. Selected papers will be published in a series of special-issue journals including INCOSE Systems Engineering and others to be announced soon. All accepted abstract submissions are invited to the poster presentation. Authors who want to be considered for the oral presentation, journal special issue publications or best paper awards should also submit a full paper (4-6 pages) after their abstracts. Details of the submission are available on the conference webpage www.cesun2014.com or at info@cesun2014.com.

The Council of Engineering Systems Universities (CESUN) was established in 2004 by universities offering educational and research programs in engineering systems. CESUN membership includes more than 50 universities in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The Council provides a mechanism for the member universities to work together developing engineering systems as a new field of study. An overall objective of the Council is to broaden engineering education and practice.

The primary activities of CESUN are to:

• Discuss critical issues affecting the development of engineering systems

• Undertake joint projects of mutual interest• Share educational material• Provide a clearing house to match PhD students

with faculty opportunities• Organize meetings, symposia and conferences• Work with related professional societies and

professional journals
