The 17th International Conference on Management of Large-Scale Systems Development (MLSD’2024) was held on September 24-26, 2024. This annual event is organized by the Trapeznikov Institute of Control Sciences, the Russian Academy of Sciences, with the technical support of the IEEE Russia Section. MLSD conferences are intended to discuss research in the theory and applications of computer control and management for developing large-scale manufacturing, transport, energy, financial, and social systems. The peculiarity of this year’s conference is that the models of large-scale systems are largely focused on solving current problems of strategic management. The MLSD’2024 program included one plenary session and 16 sections with 393 participants. The original proceedings of MLSD’2024 (195 papers) have been published in Russian and indexed by the National Electronic Library (eLIBRARY. RU).
