<font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%">The management of large-scale complex industrial systems has a considerable strategic importance for many enterprises in the world. This spawned the relatively new academic field
of "system architecture & engineering", producing a body of research that allows engineers to manage the increasing complexity of the technical systems they design. By its very nature, this field is at the interface between industry and academia, and requires
its practitioners to be well versed in industrial application-related as well as theoretical knowledge. The ambition of the CSD&M conference is to be the meeting point for the industrial and academic environments working in the design and management of complex
industrial systems.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
