Dear Colleagues,



The IISE Annual Conference & Expo 2026 is a forum for exchanging knowledge and discoveries in the Industrial and Systems Engineering research and practitioner communities and will integrate research and industry applications under one conference.



As Track Chairs of the Systems Engineering track, we encourage you to contribute to the Conference and Track by submitting a 250-word abstract or presentation summary. Authors will be able to claim these works as refereed extended abstracts, which will be available on the conference website and can be cited. They will not be copyrighted or indexed in the official conference proceedings, and therefore there is no limitation on reusing this material for other purposes (e.g., toward the publication of journal papers or subsequent conference proceedings). We highly encourage Abstracts and Presentations Summaries that demonstrate Academic-Industry collaboration and the application of emerging technologies and methods.



The Systems Engineering Track encourages presentations and papers on all aspects of systems engineering relevant to and applicable in the broad Industrial and Systems Engineering domain.  All application areas are relevant, provided the presentation or paper addresses issues not typically addressed in the existing application area tracks.  Examples include but are not limited to:

*      Identifying requirements and developing functional/logical architectures

*      Approaches and methods for integrating multiple decision makers and criteria

*      Large-scale and/or multidisciplinary system design and management case studies

*      System modeling (distinct from system analysis): tools, methods, and case studies

*      Identifying systems design tradeoffs, supporting tradeoff decisions, and assessing associated risks

*      Digital Twin approaches for supporting systems design validation and verification

*      Systems modeling to enable and integrate new/emerging technologies

*      Applications of model-based systems engineering (MBSE) in the ISE domain

Authors of accepted abstracts and presentation summaries will be invited to share their work in a conference session. Regular sessions will be 80 minutes and have up to four presentations. There will also be options where authors can elect to share their content in a "Poster Session". In addition, there are opportunities to organize and/or participate in Special Sessions (Panels, Workshops, etc.). If you are interested, please contact us by November 15, 2025.



While not required, we strongly encourage all presenters to submit a paper for publication so discoveries can be permanently documented. This year, two types of papers will be considered: Research Papers and Case Study Papers.

  *   Research Papers (with a limit of six pages) contain methods and results that are significant and have archival value to the industrial and systems engineering community. They will undergo a double-blind peer review process and accepted papers will be copyrighted and indexed in the Conference Proceedings via ProQuest.
  *   Case Study Papers (two to six pages) describe the application of a method or technology that addresses an important industry-motivated issue. They will be reviewed to ensure that the content focuses on the value and lessons learned for the Industrial and Systems Engineering community.  The case study papers should avoid significant marketing material. Accepted manuscripts will be published with access via the IISE website.



  Important deadlines:

  *   Submission deadline for abstract/presentation summary:                   November 10, 2025
  *   Notification of decision on abstract/presentation summary:              December 15, 2025
  *   Paper submission deadline:                                                                 January 18, 2026

  *   Notification on full paper decision:                                                    February 25, 2026
  *   Speaker registration deadline:                                                             March 8, 2026

  *   Paper final revision submission deadline:                                           March 22, 2026



Important Note

Authors/Presenters with approved abstracts must register for the Conference by March 8, 2026. Authors/Presenters that do not register by this date will have their presentations/papers withdrawn from the program and the proceedings. The presenting author must attend and present the paper at the conference.

We look forward to seeing you in Arlington!
