Abstract :
The role of the Technical Committees is to strengthen the Society and the membership at large by promoting technical excellence in a specific area, In addition to the smaller work-shops where workers in a particular discipline exchange information and discuss problems of mutual concern, the Technical Committees serve the overall interests of the Society by sponsoring many seminars, symposia, sessions at the Society´s conferences and other conferences (eg. at the IEEE International Conference, WESCON); they also sponsor technical sessions in conjunction with the Spring and Fall Joint Computer Conferences. The TCs prepare papers for special issues of the Transactions, and contribute articles to COMPUTER magazine.
