Current Projects
Several activities have been discussed at regularly scheduled SSEG meetings (that are open to anyone) held in conjunction with the INCOSE Symposia and Workshops. The main project underway is described briefly below:
Project 1
The current focus is on generating short essays for a special SSEG issue of INCOSE INSIGHT scheduled for January 2008 (and this web site) as SSEG members have something important to say about Systems Science for the benefit of INCOSE members. See Contact information under Leadership above if you are interested in knowing the proposed list of topics, principal authors, and schedule.
