INDO-US WORKSHOP ON SYSTEM OF SYSTEMS ENGINEERING

About the Conference
The field of System of Systems is an interdisciplinary area that brings various fields from aerospace to robotics and power systems to management closer to each other. This field provides an opportunity to become conversant with many research areas through the language of system of systems. With the advancement of technology, we are confronted with very large scale systems involving multiple disciplines such as sensor networks, collaborative robotics, Power-grid, city traffic and airport operation. This Indo-US workshop will provide unique opportunity where experts from both countries will share and decipher research expertise to broaden the scope of system of systems studies. This proposal has been an outcome of collaborative venture between IIT Kanpur and University of Texas, San Antonio in this very field. It is proposed to start an Indo-US consortium on System of Systems during the workshop so that further collaboration between Indian and US Universities can be continued.
