Room 3D06 on the University of the West of England (UWE), Frenchay Campus, Bristol | Safer, More Secure and Easier To Use
In the modern world there seems to be a goal to make things safer, more secure, and easier to use. You can (and probably will) argue that safety can be taken to straightjacket proportions, having more passwords does not make for more security, and that usability does not mean making every electronic interface look like an iPod – in which case you’ll be more than welcome to attend this event! The plan for the evening is to investigate the interaction between systems engineering and the safety, security and human factors domains to better understand what they can (or at least should) do for each other, and where there are underlying tensions.

Haldane Room, UCL | Systems Engineering and Academia, What next?
This workshop event will discuss how Systems Engineering and academia interact.
The idea is to get a feel for how much academic interest is out there in the UK,
what issues are important and whether there is enough interest to warrant an INCOSE
working group to take some of the themes forward. The session will be split
into 2 sessions looking at research and education/training and then we will have a
short wash-up session to discuss the next steps. Please come along and participate.

Loughborough University UK | 5th IEEE International Conference on System of Systems Engineering (SoSE)
IEEE SMC Society announces the 5th International Conference on System of Systems Engineering (SoSE) with its vast ramifications in numerous engineering fields such as control, computing, communication, information technology and the applications to manufacturing, defense, national and homeland security, aerospace, aeronautics, energy, environment, transport. The SoSE 2010, to be held in Loughborough, UK from 22nd-24th June 2010, will provide a world-class forum of all aspects of systems engineering, human-machine systems and emerging cybernetics. In addition, the SoSE Workshop will take place on 25th June, 2010. www.ieesose2010.org

United Kingdom | 2nd Railway Systems Engineering Workshop
‘Railway Systems Engineering in a Tough
Economic Climate’
As funding for large-scale projects becomes tighter, there is a danger that the effort
spent of systems engineering activities will be reduced. Systems engineers know that
better systems engineering is needed if rail projects are to deliver more for less. This
year’s INCOSE RIG one-day workshop will share experiences and best practice in the
application of systems engineering to rail projects, with particular emphasis on the
benefits of systems engineering during tough economic times.
The workshop is a forum for networking and exchanging knowledge and latest
developments in the area of railway systems engineering. The workshop will include
invited addresses from senior policy makers and technical experts.

Anthony McGee, Head of Resilience, Royal United Services Institute
Anthony leads the Institute's Resilience programme examining the UK's capacity for resilience, its approach to risk and the protection of Critical National Infrastructure. He has written widely on national security, risk, resilience and the role of the private sector. He is a politics graduate and before joining RUSI was the Senior Parliamentary Researcher to the Rt. Hon. Bruce George MP, former Chair of the House of Common's Defence Committee.

System engineer’s formula for avoiding crippling mistakes and delivering success: in relationships at work and elsewhere.
Speaker: David Fraser
Talk Abstract:
Suppose there is a formula for relating to people: What would it look like?
So much depends on our ability to get on with other people. With the right approach, developing the skills we use in all our relationships is an easy route to success and one of the few reliable and enduring ways we can improve our lives. Drawing on practical psychology, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and experience of family life, social situations and the workplace at all levels, David Fraser has taken a system engineer’s perspective to offer a systematic, practical and intelligent approach to achieving success with other people in complex organisational situations, and also at home and elsewhere.
The tools are out there to illuminate our dealings with other people. We just need to pick them up and use them. This event is for anyone who wants to improve their relationships and to have the confidence that comes from knowing they have the skills they need. Why go about in the dark when you can switch on the lights?
Typical feedback:
'An excellent opportunity to develop interpersonal skills at a very high level.'
'Illuminating, worthwhile and incredibly useful. We quickly found the tools to be genuinely powerful – in fact their value in assisting relationships became impossible to ignore.'
'A very talented and engaging speaker.'

Room 3D06 on the University of the West of England (UWE), Frenchay Campus, Bristol | Risk: Framing for Consistency
The topic of risk is much discussed and understood by all, or at least, we all talk about it every day and all have our own personal understanding, but what of the world of business? Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is now a well established paradigm for business, but does it go far enough? This forum is an opportunity for practioners, managers, and academics to discuss a framework that goes beyond today’s ‘probability * impact = risk’ mentality, and basic three-point estimating, in order to extend the power and flexibility of ERM through simulation modelling. Following on from this session, it is intended that the collected (yet anonymous) views of the group will inform a journal publication assessing the merits of the proposed framework notionally known as ‘Risked Value Analysis’.
