CSER 2009 includes papers from academia, industry and other establishments. Although the main focus is at the lower to middle TRL (Technology Readiness Levels) CSER 2009 incorporates research papers and case studies concerning higher TRL levels where systems engineering research has delivered a benefit.

CSSER 2009 focused on the following themes:

• Through Life Capability Management
• Modelling and Simulation for Systems Engineering
• Improving the Effectiveness of Systems Engineering
• Organisational and Enterprise Systems Engineering
• Systems Engineering Education & Training
• Systems of Systems
• Complexity in Systems
• Architecting Systems
• System Engineering Methodologies and Tools
• Grand Challenges for Systems Engineering Research
• Human Factors in Systems Engineering
• Systems Assessment & Assurance
