33rd International System Safety Conference
August 24-27, 2015 | Manchester Grand Hyatt | San Diego, California, USA
Call for Papers
Welcome to the 33rd ISSC, the premiere international conference on system
safety. The theme for ISSC-2015 is "Exploring the Future of System Safety”,
intended to explore how system safety can benefit from the past and project that
knowledge into the future to improve performance, reduce failures, and prevent
accidents in complex systems. We want you to share your knowledge and invite
you to participate. Please consider one of several types of technical
presentations (listed below) on any process, method, or technique that you
believe contributes to the goals and objectives of system safety.
This interdisciplinary conference will bring practitioners and the foremost thinkers
of the system safety discipline together for an exchange of ideas, knowledge and
experiences. There will be contributions from many different industries including
automotive; aviation; defense; healthcare; oil and gas; electronics; utilities; rail;
robotics; unmanned air and ground vehicles, and other transportation systems.
Technical Papers/Posters – There will be two types of technical papers: peerreviewed and conference papers. Peer-reviewed papers will be blind-reviewed
by an external committee comprised of system safety experts. Conference
papers are reviewed by the assigned session chair. We will also have a technical
poster session. Initial selection of papers/posters is based upon review of a
submitted abstract of 100-200 words. Technical Papers and Posters are
published in the conference Proceedings and presented in platform and poster
sessions. Specific paper/poster formatting instructions are posted on the
conference website.
Panels/Roundtables – Led by a facilitator, these are discussion-oriented forums
in which either a series of related presentations are delivered by a small number
of expert panelists, or where the panelists discuss a topic.
Tutorials – Structured educational presentations delivered by one or more
instructors; attendees earn CEUs.
Workshops – Conference forums conducted in an interactive setting and
intended to give participants problem-solving experience.
