On behalf of the organizing committee it gives us great pleasure to welcome you to the annual International Conference on System Science and Engineering (ICSSE 2017) held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
System Science and Engineering has been emerging as a research field that covers a wide spectrum of modern technology. A system can be considered as a collection of entities and their inter-relationships that gather together to form a whole greater than the sum of the entities. It also involves people, organizations, cultures, activities and interrelationships among them. While systems composed of autonomous subsystems are not new, increasing data density, connectivity and ubiquitous computational resources have extended their interdependence and interaction complexity. This has in turn made the already difficult job of planning, developing and deploying complex systems even more difficult.

Technology advancement not only provides opportunities for improving system capabilities but also introduces development risks that must be weighed and managed. Thus, it is our goal to bring together scholars from all areas to have a forum to discuss, demonstrate and exchange research ideas in the scope of system science and engineering.

The conference is structurally organized in order to promote active participation of all attendees and presenters via plenary presentation sessions, keynote addresses, interactive workshops and panel discussions. In addition, facilities are provided for group meetings and one-on-one interaction of the participants to discuss issues of System Science and Engineering and to network with conference participants and organizations. ICSSE 2017 is jointly organized by a consortium of universities composing of the host university entitled University of Technology and Education, Vietnam, and Taiwan Association of System Science and Engineering (TASSE).
