This spawned the relatively new academic<br>field of "system architecture & engineering", producing a body of research<br>that allows engineers to manage the increasing complexity of the technical<br>systems they design. By its very nature, this field is at the interface<br>between industry and academia, and requires its practitioners to be well<br>versed in industrial application-related as well as theoretical knowledge.<br>The ambition of the CSDM conference is to be the meeting point for the<br>industrial and academic environments working in the design and management<br>of complex industrial systems.<br><br>IMPORTANT DATES<br><br>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>Optional abstract pre-submission deadline : April 6, 2012<br>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>Submission deadline : April 20, 2012<br>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>Acceptance notice for industrial contribution: June 15, 2012<br>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>Acceptance notice for academic contribution: June 29, 2012<br>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>Final version submission deadline: August 31, 2012<br>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>Conference: December 12-14, 2012<br>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>"Best papers" awards: December 14, 2012<br><br>SUBMISSION PROCEDURE AND BEST PAPERS AWARDS<br><br>As the CSDM conference is both industrial and academic, there will be two<br>different submission procedures according to the type of submitted<br>contributions : industrial submissions and scientific submissions.<br>Selected papers will be presented by their authors either on the format<br>of a 30 minutes talk or as a poster during a special session.<br><br>The program committee is pleased to inform you of the following awards<br>for the best CSDM 2011 papers in 2 categories : 1 prize of 2.000€ for<br>the best academic or industrial paper and 1 prize of 1.000€ for the best<br>student paper.<br><br>For more details, see <a href="http://www.csdm2012.csdm.fr/-Submission-.html">http://www.csdm2012.csdm.fr/-Submission-.html</a>.<br><br>CONFERENCE TOPICS<br><br>•Industrial domains: Transport constructors & operators, Defense &<br>security, Electronics & robotics, Energy & environment, Health & welfare<br>services, Media & communications, Software & e-services.<br><br>•Scientific and technical topics: Systems fundamentals, Systems modelling,<br>Systems architecture, Systems engineering, Industrial projects, Systems<br>metrics, Systems quality, Systemic tools.<br><br>•Systems types: Embedded systems, Transportation systems, Software systems,<br>Information systems, Systems of systems, Artificial eco-systems.<br><br>MORE DETAILS<br><br>More information can be found on the conference website:<br><a href="http://www.csdm2012.csdm.fr/">http://www.csdm2012.csdm.fr</a>.<br>For any question, please write an email to: <a href="mailto:contact@csdm.fr">contact@csdm.fr</a>.<br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; widows: 2; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal; text-transform: none; line-height: normal; letter-spacing: normal; font-weight: normal; font-variant: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-collapse: separate; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"> </div><br></body></html>
