Systems Engineering in Context

This volume chronicles the 16th Annual Conference on System Engineering Research (CSER) held on May 8-9, 2018 at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia, USA. The CSER offers researchers in academia, industry, and government a common forum to present, discuss, and influence systems engineering research. It provides access to forwardlooking research from across the globe, by renowned academicians as well as perspectives from senior industry and government representatives. Cofounded by the University of Southern California and Stevens Institute of Technology in 2003, CSER has become the preeminent event for researchers in systems engineering across the globe. Topics include though are not limited to the following:Systems in context:nbsp;        Formative methods: requirementsnbsp;        Integration, deployment, assurancenbsp;        Human Factorsnbsp;        Safety and SecurityDecisions/ Control & Design; Systems Modeling:nbsp;        Optimization, Multiple Objectives, Synthesisnbsp;        Risk and resiliencynbsp;        Collaborative autonomynbsp;        Coordination and distributed decision-makingPrediction:nbsp;        Prescriptive modeling; state estimationnbsp;        Stochastic approximation, stochastic optimization and controlIntegrative Data engineering:nbsp;        Sensor Managementnbsp;        Design of Experiments
