Kongsberg Systems Engineering Event (KSEE) -- In-person Event

Kongsberg, Norway

The 2022 event is scheduled for Wednesday June 15th 15:00-20:30 and Thursday June 16th 08:30-12:00. There is no admission fee and the conference has a max capacity of 150 seats. Register for free here: https://nettskjema.no/a/254398. For more information visit www.usn.no/ksee

 

The objectives of the event are:

  • to facilitate cross fertilization and networking between employees of the companies in Kongsberg and wide surroundings in the area of Systems Engineering and with students and teachers at USN/Systems Engineering program and R&D.
  • to create visibility and awareness of Systems Engineering as competence.

 

The theme of this year is:   How can data help to improve systems?

In recent years, organizations and systems have had a large increase in their data collection capabilities. The digital infrastructure allows for a near infinite storage and analysis of data. Tools and sensors allow capturing of a wide variety of data. How can we use all this data? How can we turn these Terabytes of data into information, and successively use that to gain knowledge? And finally, how do we use the knowledge with wisdom to make decisions in the development process, or in the way we deploy and maintain systems?

 

We have examples of various domains how they (try to) transform the data into decisions in this age of digitalization, where seemingly everybody talks about AI, learning, clouds, IOT, microservices and many more technologies.

The Midwest Gateway Chapter of INCOSE was founded in St. Louis in 1992. Over the years we've hosted the INCOSE Symposium and the Conference on Systems Engineering Research (CSER), and been the home chapter of national and regional INCOSE leaders. Many of our members are engaged in defense, biotech, connected devices, and academia. Most members are located in St. Louis and the surrounding area (from Missouri S&T in Rolla to Scott Air Force Base in the Metro East), but all are welcome to affiliate with us.
