The IEEE Systems Council facilitates interactions among communities of interest on system-level problems and applications. System-level thinking is essential in the world today, not only for technical systems, but also for society at large. The Council addresses the discipline of systems engineering, including theory, technology, methodology, and applications of complex systems, system-of-systems, and integrated systems of national and global significance.

For this purpose, the format of the submissions is as follows:

  • Case studies and practical experiences in the Industry: short papers presenting practical ideas, real cases, and practical achievements.
  • Research and application papers: long manuscripts addressing novel ideas, theoretical issues, technology, methodology, and applications.

Papers of both categories should be submitted electronically to the EDAS IEEE SysCon 2026 Submission Portal.

To simplify paper slotting to Tracks, authors will be limited to selecting one Topic area only from the listing above. If the paper does not fit any of the topic areas,there will be an “other” option.
