Systems in industries tend to be large-scale and computer- and network-based. The behaviors of industrial systems become increasingly complex. Systems Engineering viewpoints and methodologies are desperately needed to tackle issues, for example, intricate relationships between systems and their environments, emergent interactions among system components, couplings between systems software and hardware infrastructures, and so forth. In order to address these challenges, possessing huge amount of static knowledge is not enough in real-world environments, but more important is how to embody knowledge within the environments which are dynamic. Accordingly, systems evaluations have to include new criteria, for example, robustness, evolvability, dependability, engineerability, etc.

Topics of particular interest include (but not limited to) the followings.

- component-based system design
- computer-based systems architectures
- computer-based systems infrastructure (tools, environments)
- design evolution
- distributed systems design
- hardware/software co-design, co-testing
- integration engineering
- lifecycle processes and process evolution
- model-based system development
- modeling and analysis of computer-based systems
