International System Safety Training Symposium 2014

August 4-8, 2014 | St. Louis Union Station DoubleTree Hotel | St. Louis, Missouri, USA

Call for Papers

Meet us in St. Louis at ISSTS 2014!The goal of this training symposium is to bring practitioners and the foremost thinkers within the system safety discipline together to exchange ideas, knowledge, experiences and best practices. We invite you to learn from others and provide a presentation on any safety process, method, or technique that you believe contributes to the goals and objectives of the system safety profession. There will be contributions from a variety of different domains including aerospace, automotive, defense, health care, rail transportation, robotics, critical infrastructure systems, industrial control systems, and academia.
The Symposiumis accepting four types of presentations:
Technical Papers–There will be two types of technical papers – peer reviewed and symposium papers. Peer reviewed papers will be reviewed by a peer review committee made up of system safety experts which is required by many in the world of academia. Symposium papers are reviewed and accepted by the Symposium technical committee. Both types of papers are compositions of generally between six and ten pages written by one or more authors, dealing with a subject related to System Safety. Technical Papers are published in the symposium proceedings and presented to symposium attendees.
Panels/Roundtables- Discussion-oriented forums in which either a series of related presentations are delivered by a small number of experts (panelists), or a general topic is discussed somewhat informally by any or all participants. Discussions are led by a facilitator.
Tutorials - Educational presentations delivered by one or more instructors and intended to give practical information. Most tutorials are eligible for CEU credits.
Workshops–ISSTS 2014 workshops are expanded compared to previous years. These are one-day forumsfocused on areas in which or into which we hope to advance the discipline of system safety. More info is in a separate "Call for Workshops."
