Specially Organized Sessions and Panels

The conference organizers welcome individuals who wish to organize a special panel or technical paper session. Those who wish to do so should submit a short proposal describing the nature of the session as it relates to the topics of interest specified in this call for papers. Importantly, the proposal should also include the names of the organizers and participants. Those interested in submitting proposals may contact Eliot Winer at ewiner@iastat.edu or Scott Zink at scott.zink@lmco.com. Please note that any paper proposed as part of a special session must have an abstract submitted by the abstract deadline and will be reviewed under AIAA guidelines.



Student Paper Competition
Undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to submit papers in the technical topics listed in the call for papers. Co-authored papers are welcome. However, the fi rst author must be a student, and the conference presentation should be made by a student author. The student must have played a key role in the research and writing of the paper, and must be a registered student at the time the final paper is submitted. Student authors of the top papers will be presented an award from the AIAA Multidisciplinary Design Optimization Technical Committee at the conference. Each submission will be judged on the paper and a poster presentation at the conference. Judging criteria are: 1) the originality of work; 2) the paper’s potential importance to the fi eld; and 3) its clarity. Student paper competition abstracts may be submitted via the conference Web site and are due by the abstract deadline. For more information, contact Samy Missoum at smissoum@email.arizona.edu.



Uncertainty and Reliability Methods in MA&O
  • Uncertainty Quantifi cation and Analysis
  • Methods for Capturing Uncertainty
  • Methods for Representing Reliability
  • Reliability in Complex Systems Design
  • Risk Analysis
  • Robust Design
