A collection of TRIZ-Fest 2009 papers has been prepared and published in Russian and English. A list of papers is given in Conference Program and Schedule in Russian at: http://www.triz-summit.ru/redirect.php?id=204636 and in English at: http://www.triz-summit.ru/redirect.php?id=204621. A list of registered TRIZ experts has been sent to TRIZ-Fest 2009 participants. 
 
2. Seminars and Round Table Discussion
A seminar "Methodological Aspects of TRIZ Studies" (facilitator - Yu.Murashkovskiy) was held on July 25, 2009. Over 40 TRIZ experts took part in this seminar. A training seminar "Introduction to Innovation Design Methodology G3-ID" (facilitator - O.Gerasimov) was held on July 26, 2009. 
Round Table Discussion "TRIZ in Universities" initiated by the Innovation Department of Saint Petersburg Polytechnic University was held on July 27, 2009 as a part of TRIZ-Fest 2009 program.  
 
3. TRIZ-Summit 2009
A closed session of TRIZ Developers' Summit took place on July 26, 2009. The main topic of TRIZ Summit 2009 was "Development of new generation of ARIZ".
A discussion of requirements and options for implementation of a set of algorithms was the main outcome of TRIZ Summit 2009:  
- ARIZ-2010 – eliminates the disadvantages of ARIZ-85-C;
- Algorithm for engineering systems improvement (AESI-2010) – includes selection of object and goals of improvement;
- Algorithm for systems improvement (ASI-2010) – which is intended for solving problems of not only engineering systems, but problems in other fields of human activity as well. 
Those who are willing to participate in the TRIZ Summit 2010 are welcome to send their materials on a subject matter that will be identified on September 9, 2009.

5. Session of MA TRIZ Dissertation Council
5. 1. A session of MA TRIZ Dissertation Council took place on July 29, 2009. Approximately 80 representatives of public TRIZ associations were present at this session. In compliance with a decision taken by MA TRIZ Presidium (that was held on the same day), 2/3 of votes of Dissertation Council members taking part in a vote are required for positive decision on awarding the TRIZ Master Degree (i.e. 8 votes out of 12). Decision making was based on secret voting. 
5. 2. Members of MA TRIZ Dissertation Council. TRIZ Masters: M.Gafitulin, A.Guin, S.Gubanov, A.Kislov, A.Kudryavtsev, S.Litvin (Chairman), A.Lyubomirskiy, Yu.Murashkovskiy, V.Petrov, M.Rubin (Academic Secretary), N.Shpakovskiy, and S.Ikovenko.  
5. 3. Members of Counting Board: M.Gafitulin (Chairman), A.Kudryavtsev, and S.Ikovenko.  
5.4. The following theses were presented and discussed:
- IgorDevoino. "DeploymentofEngineeringSystems". Research supervisor and consultant - S.Litvin, opponent - A.Lyubomirskiy.
In his thesis the author analyzes mechanisms of growing functionality of engineering systems and proposes methods for formulating potential functions (demanded by users) for engineering systems.
Results of voting of Dissertation Council members: 8 - "In favor", 3 - "Against". Research supervisor and consultant - S.Litvin - didn't take part in voting.
TRIZ Master Diploma No. 73 was issued to I.Devoino.
 
- Alexander Kashkarov "Substance and Field Transformations in Engineering Systems. MethodologyforModelConstructionandAnalysis". Research supervisor and consultant - Yu.Fedosov, opponent - V.Petrov.
 
In the new version of his thesis the author describes additional studies aimed to identify hidden problems inherent to ES and new approaches to algorithm-based formulation of technical and physical contradictions. 
Results of voting of Dissertation Council members: 8 - "In favor", 4 - "Against".
TRIZ Master Diploma No. 74 was issued to A.Kashkarov.
 
- YuriyDanilovskiy."Models of Spiral Evolution of Engineering Systems in Forecasting Projects". Research supervisor and consultant - A.Kudryavtsev, opponent - M.Gafitulin.
 
Results of voting of Dissertation Council members: 4 - "In favor", 7 - "Against". Research supervisor and consultant - A.Kudryavtsev - didn't take part in voting.
