The 2008 ISESC’08 will be the second in a series of triannual engineering symposium designed for aerospace, telecommunications and cryptographic experts, academia, and industry leaders. The Symposium promotes interdisciplinary understanding of aerospace systems, their underlying science and technology, and their applications to government and commercial endeavors. Attendees enjoy exceptional access to authors and invited speakers in a unique setting, fertile ground for developing lasting relationships benefiting participants, their organizations, and the engineering, scientific, and aerospace communities far beyond the Conference. Papers are peer reviewed and typically provide the technical depth characteristic of journal articles; CD-ROM Proceedings are distributed at the Conference.
