International Conference on Systems Engineering
The International Conference on Systems Engineering (ICSEng) is the series of International Conferences, jointly organized on a rotational basis among three institutions: The conference covers Systems Engineering with a focus on applications. It was first held in 1974 in Wrocław (Poland) as 1st ICSS. In its current form, it was founded by Zdzisław Bubnicki, William Wells and Glyn James. The 29th edition of ICSEng will be held in Tokyo, Japan. History. In 1973, a group of young scientists from Wroclaw University of Technology (now Wroclaw University of Science and Technology) led by Professor Zdzislaw Bubnicki  invited scientists from around the world in order to exchange ideas of modern problems of systems science and engineering. The first International Conference "Systems Science" was held in the European city of Wroclaw, Poland (with some sessions organized in the nearby town of Szklarska Poręba). The event was a big success and the organizers decided to continue with the conference annually. The first six editions of Systems Science (until 1979) were organized by Wroclaw University of Technology - attracting scientists from the USA, Japan, India and almost all European countries. After six years of existence, the conference was already well known  as a forum for presentation of original papers on a good professional level and for discussions integrating different subjects of systems science and engineering and specialists from universities, research centres, and industry. During the conference in 1979, Professor Zdzislaw Bubnicki decided to organize future conferences in Wroclaw every two years, and Professor Glyn James and his colleagues from the Coventry University in England suggested that they join a team from Wroclaw to organize the conferences in alternate years in Coventry. Consequently, the next edition in 1980, took place in Coventry. In 1983, Professor William Wells from the University of Nevada  Las Vegas, USA and his colleagues joined the teams from Poland and England, and the next meeting in 1984 was organized in Las Vegas, USA. Then it was decided, that to call conferences in Poland as "Systems Science" and in England and USA as "Systems Engineering". Conference proceedings are published in Springer Publishing or IEEE CS Publishing, and are indexed by ISI Web of Science Proceedings, DBLP, SCOPUS, Google Scholar, and Springerlink. Topics. It is expected that ICSEng includes sessions on the following themes:
