The International Engineering Systems Symposium will be the third in a series. Since the first two highly successful symposia in 2006 and 2009, the field of Engineering Systems has grown by leaps and bounds.
In 2012 TU Delft/TPM will offer you the opportunity to explore how the feld of engineering systems has taken root, grown tall and begun to blossom!

The CESUN 2012 International Engineering Systems Symposium will focus on the theme effective design and governance of engineering systems. This three-day event will provide broad perspectives on the latest advances in research, cutting-edge techniques for framing the challenges in the feld, and insights into the tools that work in practice.

The Symposium will be organised along the following lines:

• Roots: The foundations of our discipline, such as systems engineering, policy analysis, public policy, operations research
• Trunk: The state of the art in engineering systems, such as complex systems, systems of systems, innovation systems, IT, agent-based modelling, gaming
• Blossoms: New strands and application areas, such as values and ethics, governance, institutions, system earth, gaming simulation
