SAIIE Annual Conference

The Annual Conference for the Southern African Institute for Industrial Engineering

  • SAIIE 2010

    October 6, 2010 – October 8, 2010

    Sustaining South Africa's Global Competitiveness after 2010

    South Africa's Global Competitiveness is in the news daily. Thanks to the 2010 FIFA soccer world cup, South Africa invested in a number of large capital project developments, contributing to the economic activity in the engineering profession. However, what will happen after 2010? How do we ensure that South Africa remains competitive?

    As in 2009, this conference will allow for two submission tracks:
    • Academic Papers: Authors submit an abstract, and are then invited to submit a full-length paper. The paper will be peer-reviewed for final acceptance. The paper is published in the conference proceedings and on the conference website. This is the best option for academics and students who want to use this opportunity to generate research outputs.
    • Applied Engineering: Presenters submit an abstract, and when the abstract is approved, the presenter is invited to present at the conference. No papers to be written, but the presenter is expected to provide the final presentation for upload to the conference website archive afterwards. This is the best option for engineers from the industry who want to share their experiences with other delegates.

    We selected Glenburn Lodge, at Muldersdrift, Gauteng for this year's venue - visit their website for more details.

    We are happy to announce the first peer-reviewed SAIIE conference in 2009! Delegates are offered two tracks for submission of papers: the applied engineering track and the academic track. Papers submitted for the applied engineering track will be approved on submission of the abstract only. Papers submitted for the academic track will be approved by peer review on submission of the full paper, and published in the conference proceedings. The colloquia in 2009 were highly successful and we continue our discussions in 2009 on relevant topics of interest lead by panels of experts.
