The SETE 2002 Conference Sponsored by The Systems Engineering Society of Australia (SESA) and the Southern Cross Chapter of The International Test and Evaluation Association (ITEA)

The theme of SETE 2002 is At the Forefront of System Engineering with the technical theme focusing on a 5 layered model proposed by Prof. Derek K Hitchins to achieve world class systems engineering from product level (layer 1) to socio economic (layer 5) systems.  Further information on this model can be found http://www.hitchins.co.uk/5layer.html
 

The Conference program integrates the systems engineering and test & evaluation fields in a combination of plenary sessions, panels, technical papers and exhibits. The program is expected to include papers in at least the following areas:
 

Systems Engineering: Systems Engineering Applications Selling Systems Engineering Measurement Modeling and Tools Systems Engineering Management Processes and Methods Software Engineering Education and Training	Test & Evaluation: T&E Visions of the Future Critical Technologies (Instrumentation, Modeling, Simulation) Measures of Effectiveness (MOEs) The Planning and Management of T&E T&E Investment Planning Virtual T&E The Design of Experiments Error Budgeting Vulnerability to Asymmetric Attack Environmental T&E
Message from the SETE 2002 Symposium Chair On behalf of the Systems Engineering and Test and Evaluation 2002 organising committee I would like invite you to attend the SETE 2002 Conference. The committee is confident that SETE 2002 will be an exciting world class systems engineering conference. The theme of the conference At the Forefront of System Engineering provides a unique opportunity for practitioners, organisations and suppliers of System Engineering products to gather and exchange ideas in the hope of achieving world class systems engineering outcomes in Australia.  The chosen venue, The Hilton Hotel, Sydney provides a comfortable, convenient, central location and allows visitors to Sydney a unique opportunity to combine attendance at technical conference with visiting the exciting international city of Sydney. Further information on New South Wales can be found at http://www.tourism.nsw.gov.au  The conference will include notable keynote speakers and special events.  The committee invites you to attend what will be an enjoyable and valuable learning experience. Michael Lonsdale SETE 2002 Symposium Chair	Message from the SESA President Dear Colleagues, I want to recommend to you, this year’s SETE Conference which offers the best in Systems Engineering and Test & Evaluation thinking.  Knowing the demands that are placed on Systems Engineers, the SETE 2002 program has been compacted into two days, in the expectation that many of you will be able to get approval to attend for this short period of time. I am pleased that the International Test and Evaluation Association are joining with SESA to present SETE 2002. This partnership allows us to opportunity to provide greater depth in the technical program of the Conference in the areas of T&E, and we look forward to ITEA’s continued involvement in this conference. With some 30 papers in two streams covering the gamut of systems areas including requirements, risks, modelling, metrics, testing, enterprise systems, and systems architecting, plus panel discussions and a variety of SE tool vendors and exhibitors. SETE 2002 provides you with the chance to learn from systems engineering experts. I am confident that you will be eager to share this new knowledge and experience within your company and your fellow employees.  For it is through such sharing that we are able to foster the understanding, practice, and advancement of Systems Engineering. It is important that we continue the process of sharing information needed to solve the difficult problems facing us in the 21st Century. SETE 2002 is a great opportunity to do this in a productive and enjoyable manner. I look forward to meeting you at SETE 2002 in Sydney on 29th and 30th October. Roger McCowan SESA President Halliburton KBR
