Developments in e-Systems Engineering 2011 Dubia

It is my pleasure to invite you, on behalf of the DESE11 Conference Organization Committee, to Contribute to the fourth annual conference on Developments in eSystems Engineering (DeSE'11) to be held in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from 14th to 16th December 2009. 

In addition, there will be the possibility to participate online, a practical and inexpensive way to contribute, if you cannot make in person it to Abu Dhabi in December 2011. 

Currently a high level of interest is being generated through the development of a wide and varied range of eSystems. There are many high profile projects, all around the world, seeking to transfer many services and facilities into state-of-the-art electronic technologies. DeSE'09 will cover a mix of topics aimed to address current research issues in the design, engineering and adoption of eSystems.

The registration fee has been kept at minimum to encourage participation; even if you cannot make it to UAE you can still get it published, and present the paper online (in fact this particular option only cost $100)
please see refer to this link for details  http://cmsdlserver.cms.livjm.ac.uk/dese/dese09/default.aspx?id=58&fkPageID=58&Parent= 

The conference comprises an exciting spectrum of highly stimulating symposia, which include but not limited to:

.  e-Learning (Technology Enhanced Learning)
.  e-Systems and AI
.  e-Business and Management
.  e-Government systems, Autonomic Computing
.  e-Health and e-Medicine
.  e-Science and Technology
.  e-Entertainment and Creative Technologies
.  e-Security and e-Forensics
.  e-Built Environment
.  e-Systems Engineering, Design, Modelling and Simulation

Please submit full papers describing original research on any aspect of eSystem Engineering, Modelling and Applications, to be presented at this three day conference in Abu Dhabi. 

Authors will have their submissions reviewed by international experts and accepted papers will be published in the IEEE for worldwide presence. The event provides authors with an outstanding opportunity for networking and presenting their work at an international conference. The location offers an especially attractive opportunity for professional discussion, socialising and sightseeing.
All papers must be in English and the length should not exceed 6 pages for standard papers or 10 pages for long papers of A4 size and should conform to the IEEE Format. Accepted papers will have to be presented in the conference by at least one of the authors.
Papers conforming to required specifications should be submitted through EDAS Conference Management System. 
Important dates are as follows:
.  Submission of papers June 15, 2011 
.  Notification of acceptance  July 18, 2011 
.  Submission of camera-ready papers  August 8, 2011 
.  Author online registration  August 15, 2011 

More information about the DESE09 conference can be found at www.dese.org.uk  by following the DESE09 link (we intend for the conference website to be more complete with uptodate information in the next few days)

Please feel free to forward any question or queries to me directly and hope to hear from you soon

Best Regards

Morgan State University Engineering Seminar Certificate of Appreciation

I had the pleasure of presenting to a group of graduate engineering students at Morgan State University.  The presentation presented was Systems of Systems Engineering.  I felt this was important as the university has a systems engineering program but wanted to emphasis the larger picture.  After presenting the university presented me with this certificate of appreciation.  I can honestly say that every time I am at this university teaching I become more motivated to follow my passion of being in academia.

Tomorrow’s Engineering Crisis

BEST JOBS IN AMERICA: 1. Systems Engineer

I came across a listing of the top jobs and found out that the Systems Engineer was the best job in America for 2009.  It is rather pleasing as I am currently teaching graduate courses at Morgan State University in Systems Engineering.  Enjoy the read below.

Top 50 rank: 1
Sector: Information Technology

What they do: They're the "big think" managers on large, complex projects, from major transportation networks to military defense programs. They figure out the technical specifications required and coordinate the efforts of lower-level engineers working on specific aspects of the project.

\Why it's great: Demand is soaring for systems engineers, as what was once a niche job in the aerospace and defense industries becomes commonplace among a diverse and expanding universe of employers, from medical device makers to corporations like Xerox and BMW.
Pay can easily hit six figures for top performers, and there's ample opportunity for advancement. But many systems engineers say they most enjoy the creative aspects of the job and seeing projects come to life. "The transit system I work on really makes a tangible difference to people," says Anne O'Neil, chief systems engineer for the New York City Transit Authority.
Drawbacks: Long hours are common; project deadlines can be fierce.
Pre-reqs: An undergrad engineering degree; some jobs might also require certification as a certified systems engineering professional (CSEP).

IEGR501: Introduction to Advanced Systems Engineering Second Life Session

These are photos from class on 31 August, 2010.  This was our first session in Second Life in which we discussed development methodologies, systems plannning, proposal process, and more.  Also viewed was a motivational video on the topic of success.  This session was held in Second Life as I was in Huntsville, AL for business.  Second Life allowed the students who were physically in the class at Morgan State University and myself to participate as if I were physically there.
