The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) International Symposium is the premier annual forum for Systems Engineering. Participants
network, share ideas, knowledge and practices, and learn more about the most recent innovations, trends, experiences and issues in Systems Engineering.
This year INCOSE is celebrating 20 years since the first meeting of its founders.
 Welcome from the INCOSE President
The beautiful city of Chicago is the venue for the 20th Annual INCOSE International Symposium.
Famous for everything from art and architecture to jazz music and its sports teams, and
infamous for its devastating 19th century fire and 1920s gangsters, the third largest city in
the USA is the perfect venue to bring together the diverse and vibrant systems engineering
community from across the world.
The INCOSE International Symposium is always a venue for learning, but particularly so this
year. With a range of sponsored tutorials and contributions from both new and traditional
domains, there will be no excuse for leaving without having learnt something new, or taking
a new perspective on the familiar. As well as practical tutorials for those in the early stages of
their career and advanced technical papers to challenge the experienced, this year INCOSE is
taking a step further. Opening with a view to the future, our first keynote will inspire us to think about our role in the
engineering education of the next generation of systems engineers. Events throughout the week are planned to engage
the community in a strategy to prepare today’s young people for the systems challenges of tomorrow.
On our 20th Anniversary, as we look forward to growing the role of systems engineering in new domains, it seems
appropriate to celebrate the wisdom of our founders in recognising the need for INCOSE and the work of all our early
leaders in building the organisation we know today. I hope that many of those who have contributed to this success will
be able to join us for a very special celebration at the famous Navy Pier Ballroom on July 14th.
At twenty, INCOSE has travelled from its roots on the Pacific coast of the USA across the globe, but it remains
committed to supporting individuals and organizations in understanding, developing and sharing best practices in
systems engineering. I hope that you will join us in Chicago to continue our journey.
Samantha Brown - INCOSE President
Welcome from the Symposium Project Leader
Welcome to the 20th Annual INCOSE International Symposium.
As the 2010 Symposium Project Leader, I invite everyone, from around the world, to join us to
celebrate INCOSE’s 20th anniversary in one of the world’s top international destinations – Chicago!
Chicago is home to many of the world’s best museums, architectural wonders, and cultural attractions.
For the family, there are a plethora of things to do: tours, parks, beaches, the zoo, the aquarium
and more! The famous Navy Pier and lakefront Boardwalk offer carnival rides, boat cruises, and
fireworks on two evenings every week.
When it comes to nightlife, Chicago is hard to beat. Although best known as the Home of the Blues, you
can also enjoy jazz, symphony, theatre, comedy, fine dining and more. Getting around is no problem.
Chicago offers a reliable and clean mass transit system consisting of trains, buses, plenty of cabs, and
even water taxis.
Our civilization is at a turning point toward ever more systems thinking and well-guided application of systems
engineering principles. Smart grids, alternative energy, medical device interoperability, healthcare, integrated systems
of systems for defense and homeland security, intelligent transportation systems, mass transit, aerotropolis cities, and,
just around the corner, colonization of space! These systems are complex; and they must be engineered for success.
This year the INCOSE International Symposium offers a great program designed to inspire, educate, and motivate you
and your organization. INCOSE and systems engineering stand at the gateway of the new millennium, ready to bring
the world into the Systems Age that is upon us. Please take this opportunity to celebrate our collective accomplishments
and prepare for a wonderful future.

Youth Engineering Education Outreach Program: Events 12, 13 & 14 July 2010

In 2009, INCOSE leadership made a commitment to develop a viable and

© Courtesy of IS2010 Project Team

sustainable Youth Outreach Program for Systems Engineering. The program is
based on two major principles:
• To focus on the development of engineering
(and specifically systems engineering) knowledge and skills
• To create a pathway for future systems engineers which begins in the formative
years (ages 5-18) and continues into formal education at the University level.
The Youth Engineering Education Program has two strands of development:
• School- and college- based education for ages 5-18 years (K-12)
• Undergraduate and postgraduate education
To communicate this commitment to the general membership and to motivate
interested members to engage with this important initiative, we have planned
a number of key Engineering Education Outreach activities during the 2010
International Symposium.
Monday 12 July: Opening Plenary Keynote Speaker:
Linda Katehi, Chancellor, University of California, Davis
Chancellor Katehi recently chaired the National Academy of Engineering Study: “The Status and Nature of K-12
Engineering Education in the United States”, and has kindly accepted our invitation to share the outcomes of the study
with INCOSE members. She will offer thoughts on where INCOSE and its members might contribute to the engineering
education of young people.
Tuesday 13 July: Academic Forum: User Needs Panel
Paul Robitaille, INCOSE Ambassador for Youth and University Outreach, will chair a panel to examine Youth Engineering
Education Outreach Needs from several perspectives:
• A Science, Technology, Engineering and Math coalition of Academia, Government, and Industry
• Universities that educate Youth teachers
• Classroom Youth teachers
• Students
• Engineering employers
In addition to this session on the early years of engineering education, the Academic Forum on 13-14 July will address the
broader issues of undergraduate and postgraduate education including issues of curriculum and program accreditation. It
is particularly suited to those leading, teaching and recruiting from systems engineering programs.
Wednesday 14 July: Youth Engineering Outreach Workshop
Based on recommendations from Chancellor Katehi’s keynote address and the user needs articulated by Tuesday’s Panel,
this workshop will consider the content and structure of
current Youth Engineering Education outreach activities
within INCOSE and across a number of invited
outreach organizations.
The workshop aims to finalize the INCOSE Youth
Engineering Outreach Strategy and Plan, to share Youth
Engineering Education related classroom assets and
© Courtesy of IS2010 Project Team

to identify potential partners among like-minded

organizations to work with INCOSE to implement an
effective outreach program. INCOSE members with a
personal or professional interest in this area are
encouraged to participate.

 GENERAL INFORMATION
Travel Information
International Traveler Information
Most travelers to the United States must hold a valid visa and a passport
that is valid six months longer than the intended visit. Visitors planning to
visit or attend a meeting will most likely apply for a B-1 visa. Visa applicants
are advised to apply as soon as they decide to travel to the United States
and at least 3 to 4 months in advance. All Visa Waiver Program (VWP)
travelers will be required to have a machine-readable passport (MRP)
in order to enter the United States without a visa. As a standard part of
the visa process, the State Department now requires that consular officers
interview almost every applicant. Some consulates may have a long wait
for an interview so applicants should contact the consulate to schedule an
interview as early as possible.
Contact the nearest U.S. consulate or embassy for details on visa
application procedures at that location.
ESTA - Latest information for VWP travelers
ESTA is a fully-automated, internet-based electronic system for screening Visa
Waiver Program VWP passengers before they begin travel to the United States.
On August 1, 2008, ESTA was introduced on a voluntary basis via
internet for citizens and eligible nationals of VWP countries to apply
for advance authorization to travel to the United States under the VWP.
Effective since January 12, 2009, ESTA is mandatory and all VWP
travelers are required to obtain an electronic travel authorization prior
to boarding a carrier to travel by air or sea to the U.S. under the VWP.
