15
IEEE Council on EDA

• The idea of the IEEE Council for Electronic
  Design Automation has been endorsed by the IEEE
  Technical Activities Board .
• At its June 16th meeting the MTT-1 Technical
  Committee for CAD confirmed its interest in EDA
  Council and did welcome the MTT AdCom decision to
  designate funds for MTT participation in the
  Council.
• As EDA application and  importance grows, we see
  the great advantage in coordinating Societies'
  activities.

16
IEEE Systems Council

• FIELD OF INTEREST
• This Council integrates IEEE activities regarding
  aspects of multiple disciplines and specialty
  areas associated with the engineering of systems.
  This Council covers, but is not limited to the
  following
• Systems engineering, education, standards,
  processes and methodologies
• Modeling, simulation and integration related to
  design, testing, production and support
• Design aspects for robust design, human factors,
  safety, security and usability
• Transition of products from design to production,
  deployment and use
• Quality control and system management
• Program/product/project management interactions
• Risk Management
• Systems Architecture

17
IEEE Systems Council

• PLANNED ACTIVITIES
• IEEE Systems Council will implement activities
  within its FoI
• IEEE Systems Journal, to be launched with first
  issue in January 2007
• IEEE Systems Conference, to be launched in 2006
• Focused Workshops within the FoI
• Other as appropriate
• Standards
• Technical Committees
• Working Groups

18
IEEE Systems Council

• Participation Opportunities
• If an IEEE member - you can be involved in
• IEEE Systems Journal
• IEEE Systems Conference
• IEEE Technical Committees
• IEEE Working Groups
• IEEE Standards
• For additional information, contact Bob Rassa,
  bob.rassa_at_ieee.org

19
IEEE Systems Council

• Roger Kaul has volunteered to be the MTT
  Point-of-Contact to the Systems Council until
  another volunteer can be found
• His recommendation follows
• MTT will join the IEEE Systems Council for a
  period of 3 years. 
• During this period MTT will assess its
  involvement in the Council. 
• At the end of 3 years MTT will again decide
  whether to remain a member of the Systems
  Council.  
• The financial cost to MTT is 5,000 per year plus
  travel expenses for MTT representative(s) to
  attend 2 planning meetings per year.

MTT-17 Resolutions

• Prepared by Murat Eron, MTT-17 HF/VHF/UHF Chair
• REPRESENTATION OF ALL TECHNICAL DISCIPLINES IN
  THE TPCAll technical disciplines represented
  within the TCC subcommittees shall be represented
  within the TPC subcommittees and included in the
  IMS call for papers.
• The TCC subcommittees represent the technical
  disciplines within IMS. If a given technical
  discipline does not have a TPC subcommittee and
  is not included in the call for papers, it has no
  chance to solicit papers and no interest in the
  subject area will be demonstrated. Those
  interested in that subject area will pack-up and
  go elsewhere.This resolution does not guarantee
  that there will be a session for a given TPC
  subcommittee or technical discipline. If the
  number of good papers in a given area (given SC)
  is insufficient for a session, the SC may send
  accepted papers to the interactive forum.
  Alternately, the TPC may opt to merge more than
  one related discipline (SC) into a single
  session.

21
MTT-17 Resolutions

• Prepared by Murat Eron, MTT-17 HF/VHF/UHF Chair
• 2. ATTENDANCE AT SESSIONSThe TPC shall maintain
  records of attendance at IMS sessions and shall
  use attendance as a factor in deciding which
  sessions shall be included in the IMS. The
  statistics shall be provided to TPC and TCC
  subcommittee chairman after the conclusion of
  each IMS.
• Attendance is the true measure of the interest of
  our membership in a given subject area. It
  should therefore be a factor in determining
  whether the IMS should include a session in a
  given subject area. Attendance data are also
  necessary to allocate room size and other related
  resources.

22
MTT-17 Resolutions

• Prepared by Murat Eron, MTT-17 HF/VHF/UHF Chair
• ALTERNATE CHOICES FOR SUBMITTED PAPERSThe TPC
  shall develop a mechanism for utilizing the
  second and third choices for the subcommittee to
  which a paper is submitted. This mechanism shall
  include notification of the second- and
  third-choice subcommittees of(a) Papers
  submitted that designate them as second and
  third choices, and(b) Rejection of the paper
  by the first- and second-choice
  subcommittees.
• More and more work is done with a mixture of
  technologies, and a paper may be of interest to
  more than one subcommittee. Authors who are
  unfamiliar with IMS may not know which
  subcommittee is the best fit. Consequently, there
  needs to be a real mechanism in place for
  honoring the second or third choices designated
  by an author. The proposed resolution will ensure
  that the affected subcommittees are aware of the
  paper and can ask for a transfer if they think it
  is a better fit. It will also ensure that a paper
  is not rejected because it has been sent to the
  wrong SC.

23
MTT-17 Resolutions

• Prepared by Murat Eron, MTT-17 HF/VHF/UHF Chair
• MOVING PAPERS FROM ONE SC TO ANOTHERThe TPC
  shall not move submitted papers from one
  subcommittee to another except in cases of
  obvious mismatch or with permission from the
  originally designated subcommittee. If moved due
  to obvious mismatch, the new assignment will be
  reported to the originally designated
  subcommittee.
• This resolution will eliminate a recurring
  problem in which submitted papers (including
  papers that have been solicited for a particular
  session) "disappear," In some cases, one is able
  to track down the transferred papers, but in
  others the blind transfers have produced low
  submission count, rejection of good papers, and
  irate authors.
