  2. Outline • Co-sponsored Publications: SSCS Representatives – An Appeal • Design and Test Update • RFIC Compendium Update

  3. Co-sponsored SSCS Publications For the past several years: • Trans. on VLSI Systems (w. CASS, CS) • Trans. on Display Technology (w. Photonics) • Trans. on Semiconductor Manufacturing (w. CPMT ) Beginning early 2012: 4. D&T Magazine (w. CASS, CEDA) 5. RFIC-VJ (w. MTTS, CASS, EDS, APS) • Want to begin (in February) an explicit semi-annual reporting protocol to this committee via SSCS representatives, particularly journals 1, 2, 3 above. • Need your help in identifying the best technical SSCS representation for 1, 2, and 3.

  4. SSCS Reps for Co-sponsored Pubs • Trans. on VLSI Systems • open • open • Trans. on Display Technology • Tayo Akinwande, MIT • open • Trans. on Semiconductor Manufacturing • Robert Dutton, Stanford • open

  5. Design and Test Magazine • Opportunity – SSCS has been asked if it would like to be an equal financial+technical sponsor (w/ CASS + CEDA) of the IEEE Design and Test of Computers Magazine. • IEEE Computer Society wants to drop its sponsorship of the Magazine due to budget constraints; • Past annual operating budget = $63K/yrloss total • $21K annual loss for each of 3 sponsor societies • Gross Annual Income = 140K • Expenses can be reduced: CS Press infrastructure charge, + others … • 85 papers/year; 6 issues/year • 80K Xplore downloads/yr • Subscriptions: 755 (2009/2010)

  6. Design and Test Magazine • SSCS Vision: Expand Scope to include RF, mixed signal, analog test through special issue mechanism. • SSCS Vision: Title change: “Design and Test of Computers” to “Design and Test _____”. • Jan. 2012 handoff from Computer Society.

  7. Design and Test Magazine • Feb. Motion: To proceed via Task Force participation in creation of an MOU, Scope, Editorial Board and Budget of the newly defined “Design and Test Magazine”. • Update: Task Force has been created: • Irith Pomeranz (CASS) • Rajesh Gupta (CEDA) • Glenn Gulak (SSCS) • Yervant Zorian (TTTC) • First teleconference was July 29th and will occur monthly thereafter until January CS handover.

  8. Design and Test Magazine • Feb. Motion: To conditionally approve a budget of up to $30K / year for the “Design and Test Magazine”, conditioned on the equal participation of CASS and CEDA, and on a jointly signed MOU. • Update: MOU was signed June 25 at IEEE TAB meeting in Bellevue, WA.

  9. Design and Test Magazine • Projected 3yr budget (2012-2014) shows: Yr1=$4K / Yr2=$8K / Yr3=$14K surplus. • The six issues for 2012 are defined and in-flight. • Current EIC (K. Chakrabarty) has agreed to stay on for 2012 term, while a search for a new EIC starts soon. • Change of Title & Impact Factor statistics: Thomson OK. • Annual Print and Electronic ($51 Society / $81 IEEE) subscription. No Electronic only option at the moment. • Too late to be listed on SSCS product subscription list – will handle this with a special subscription code. • Deadline for 2013 product changes is Dec. 15, 2011.

  13. RFIC Virtual Journal • An all-Electronic publication. • Sponsors: SSCS, CASS, MTTS; Assoc: EDS, APS. • Value-adds of a comprehensive and commented repository of previously published RFIC related papers: • Create a “push” TOC • Thematic Organization of papers. • Editorial comments • Quarterly updates. • Audience: • Existing readers within the member societies • Potentially new readers (with subscription fee). • Does not disturb the existing journal domains and brands

  14. RFIC Virtual Journal Current Status • MOU has been signed by presidents of the sponsoring societies (SSCS, MTTS, CASS,+ EDS, APS) this past Nov. 2010. • Also in Nov., P2 proposal approved by TAB, Budget and Publications Committees of IEEE  green light. • Steering Committee Guidelines signed by presidents of the sponsoring societies this past June 25. Voting SC=<Gianluca Setti, CASS; Luciano Boglione, MTTS; Glenn Gulak, SSCS> • Prof. John Long (TU Delft) has agreed to be the EIC. • Next to finalize membership of editorial board. • IEEE will accommodate a first issue date in Q1 2012.
