Technical Committees



Technical Committees



Technical Committees

  • Problems

    • Industrial members involvement
    • Uneven attendance of TC Meetings
    • Lack of a systematic and organized activity of members promotion to DL, Senior and Fellow positions

  • Chapters contribution

    • Subsume as a routine the task of assessing, promoting and recommending deserving authors/candidate for ComSoc/IEEE Awards


Emerging Technology Committee

  • Emerging Technologies Committee

    • Chair: Len Cimini
    • Members

  • Fellow Evaluation Committee

    • Chair: Jules Bellisio
    • Members


Fellow Evaluation Committee

DL Selection Committee

  • Distinguished Lecturers Selection Committee

  • Members:

    • Sergio Benedetto, as VP-TA
    • Len Cimini, as Chair-Emerging Technologies
    • Shri Goyal, as Director of Membership Program development


DL Selection Committee

  • Problems

    • Only a few TCs suggest candidates for DL
    • Some technical areas are then empty
  • Chapters contribution



Standards Board

  • Standards Board

    • Chair: Alex Gelman
    • Members:
      • Curtis Siller
      • Steve Mills
      • Raouf Boutaba
      • Robert Fish
      • John Barr
      • Stanley Moyer
      • Jim Hoffmayer
      • Gerald Peterson


Standards Board

  • Problems

    • ComSoc involvement in standards related to telecommunication at large is still weaker than deserved (see as an example the 802.xxx series)
  • Chapters contribution

    • Encourage international participation, especially from industrial members, to the activities of the standard board
    • Promote ComSoc presence, through influential international members already active in standardization bodies


Recertification

  • Goals of the Recertification Process:

    • Confirm provably active TCs having a critical mass of members and eliminate/merge the others
    • Analyze/compare TCs mission statements in order to emphasize the peculiarities and reduce the overlapping
    • Aim at a “uniform” presence of TCs inside COMSOC in terms of P&P, web sites and information therein
    • Focus their M&C activities toward COMSOC events in a coordinated way (clustering should help in this)
    • Improve their procedures to help deserving members in achieving promotion to senior/fellow membership and distinguished lecturers, publications and career awards, etc.


Final considerations

  • ComSoc life and its high reputation as a Society that successfully works toward the advancement of the theory, practice and application of communications engineering is mostly due to the generous dedication of the volunteers and the high quality of their effort, in a joint and harmonious work with ComSoc staff

  • Chapters are crucial in:

    • Inculcating in their members the spirit of ComSoc
    • Keeping them bound to ComSoc through the organization of periodic local activities
    • Advertising all kinds of ComSoc activities
    • Promoting a wide international volunteer participation in ComSoc activities


Thank you !
