This year’s INCOSE Spring Conference 2007 has the theme of “The Future of Systems Engineering”. The conference will look at questions such as:

• What is the value of Systems Engineering to my enterprise or domain, and how can it help to tackle the future challenges we face?
• What does it mean to be a Systems Engineer or to do Systems Engineering, and how does this relate to recruitment, education and career progression?
• What best practice currently exists or is being researched, to help us solve today’s Systems Engineering challenges?

The programme is under development - although the first day’s tutorial sessions have all been planned. These cover topics such as Management and Risk, Requirements and Acceptance and  Architecture and Architecture Frameworks.

We’ve taken a stand at the event and will be showing pure::variants. We think there’s good potential for us at this event because of the focus on traceability across the whole life cycle taken by systems engineers and pure::variants improves traceability across the life cycle for organisations developing system variants.

The event will run from 16-18^th April 2007 at the Swindon Marriott, Swindon, England. More details at the INCOSE Spring Conference 2007 web site.
