Given a Pfaan system on a smooth manifold, we shall discuss the
notion of reduced submanifold and how to nd them. This was motivated
from the problem of deciding the minimality of generic CR manifolds. As
best known by the Noether's theorem conservation laws arise from the
symmetry of dierential equations. We approach the conservation laws
from the viewpoint of the reduction of Pfaan systems and discuss some
possible applications.
