Abstract :
IEEE Computer Society Technology and Conferences Board (T&C) http://www.computer.org/tab/ (Vice President, T&C: John Waltz). IEEE Computer Society Technical Committees (TCs) are international networks of professionals with common interests in computer hardware, software, applications, and interdisciplinary fields. They serve as the focal point for the society´s activities within a technical discipline and directly influence society conferences, publications, standards development and educational activities. TCs provide a variety of opportunities for one to become an active and vital member of your community. Organize a conference or workshop, become involved with publications, develop and run programs which support student activities, affect the development of standards, create an online tutorial, or simply communicate with your colleagues at conferences or through electronic dialogue. Free membership in TCs is a superb opportunity to network and stay ahead of the state of the art. These groups meet at conferences or through electronic dialogue, and range in size from 500 to 8,000 members. Many distribute complimentary newsletters containing valuable technical information.
