10th Annual SERC Sponsor Research Review

Thursday, November 8, 2018 8:00 am – 5:00 pm FHI 360 Conference Center 1825 Connecticut Avenue, NW, #2 Washington, DC 20009.

This one-day, sponsor-focused event united the government, industry, and academic systems engineering research community in order to share research progress and discuss the most challenging systems engineering issues today. The review highlighted over twenty ongoing SERC research projects. Researchers from the SERC universities discussed their research, highlighted results, and described opportunities for government agencies to sponsor and/or participate in their projects. Several of these research projects are ready for pilot use and transition to practice. The program and sessions focus on the research results achieved in each of the four thematic areas of the SERC:

• Trusted Systems,
• Enterprise Systems and Systems of Systems
• Human Capital Development
• Systems Engineering and Systems Management Transformation

This year’s SERC Founders Award was bestowed upon SERC Chief Scientist, Dr. Barry Boehm. Many thanks again, Dr. Boehm, for your continued contributions and championing of the SERC. Congratulations to this year’s winner of the SERC Doctoral Student Forum (SDSF) 2018 Best Student Paper award, Jorge Buenfil from Stevens Institute of Technology for his research on “Inference Engine Applied to School Security for Robot-Man Teaming.” Attendance is open to government, Federally Funded Research Development Centers (FFRDCs), national laboratories, industry, and academic institutions. Events are free to Academia, FFRDCs and Government participants; Industry attendees were charged a nominal fee. 

For more event information, please contact Ms. Monica Brito.
