Dear Colleagues,

The Security Engineering Track is soliciting submissions for the 2019 IISE Annual Conference and Expo. The conference is a forum for exchanging knowledge and discoveries in the industrial and systems engineering research and practitioner communities. The 2019 IISE Annual Conference and Expo integrates research and industry under one conference.

As track chairs of the Security Engineering Track, we would like to encourage you to contribute to the conference by submitting an abstract. Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to present their work.

Important deadlines for the conference are as follows (NOTE: THERE WILL BE NO EXTENSIONS)
 - Abstract Submission Deadline: November 9, 2018
 - Notification of Decision on Abstract: November 30, 2018

 - Final Version of Full Paper Due: March 5, 2019
 - 2019 IISE Annual Conference and Expo: May 18-21, 2019
 
Full Paper. Like previous years, full papers should contain results that are significant and have archival value to the industrial and systems engineering research and practitioner community. Full papers have a six-page limit and will undergo a double-blind peer review process. Accepted papers will be copyrighted and indexed in the conference proceedings.

If your abstract, or full paper is accepted: (a) the presenting author must register for the conference (presentations without the presenting author registered for the conference will be withdrawn from the program and the proceedings); (b) the presenting author(s) must attend and present the paper at the conference (presenting authors who fail to attend will have their paper withdrawn from the proceedings); and (c) all authors who submit a full paper are expected to review two full papers (as appropriate) for fellow authors.

There are also opportunities to organize invited sessions, panels, and tutorials. In addition to research and practitioner presentations, the annual conference offers many opportunities for attendees, including plant tours, networking, and keynote speakers. We look forward to seeing you in Orlando!
