CSIT topical working groups

CSIT was formed in response to a petition, signed by some six hundred members of IEEE who felt concern about the social implications of their professional work. During the past year the committee has initiated a number of activities, hopefully responding in some measure to the desires of the petitioners. In order to learn more specifically what socio-technical areas are of interest, a questionnaire was circulated in the first CSIT Newsletter and in other communications. So far 74 questionnaires have been returned and a number of other IEEE members have attended committee meetings, the INTERCON´73 forums or otherwise indicated their interest in becoming personally involved.
