The conference consists of invited and contributed technical papers on theoretical and applied issues associated with the: organization, modeling, simulation and analysis, control, operation and performance-evaluation of systems (as well as tools for system computations and education). Traditionally, papers presented at the SSST have focused on system-issues from fields such as: mathematical theory of systems and signals, control of electro-mechanical systems, communications, signal processing, navigation, guidance, robotics, energy and power, electronic devices, computers and networks, optics, aerospace, chemical processing, manufacturing, etc. However, papers on system-issues from other fields are also of interest.

The SSST encourages well-written, high-quality papers by graduate students based on Master’s thesis and Ph.D. dissertation results as well as papers by University faculty, researchers and government/industry personnel from throughout the US and abroad. Papers presented at the SSST appear in a Proceedings Volume (hard copy and/or CD version), which is available at the time of the conference.
