  6. (5 min. for 4/4) Introduction of Members:-- SMCS Chaptershere • Chapters established France　（Abdelkader El Kamel) UK & RI (Ali G. Hessami) Hong Kong (Daniel Yeung) Taipei (Jau Woei Perng as an alternative of Bing-Fei Wu) • Chapters whose petitions to create were sent to IEEE Central Texas (Yu Zhang as an alternative of Philip Chen) Vancouver (Dorian Sabaz) • Chapters collecting signatures to establish Okayama (Hossam Gabbar)

  7. (2 min.) TC Activities in 2005 • Outstanding TCs • TC on Soft Computing(Tadahiko Murata) collected 36 papers and organized 7 sessions at SMC2005. (40, 46, and 24 papers for SMC'04, SMC'03, and SMC'02) • TC on Industrial Applications(Seppo J. Ovaska) organized SMCia/05 with full sponsorship and WSTST2005 technical co-sponsorship • TC on Discrete Event Systems (MuDer Jeng) collected 10 papers for SMC2005, organizing ICNSC2005 with sponsorship, and organized 2 special issues for SMCS Trans. Inactive TCs • There are no TC Chairs who lost interests to continue their TC activities. • However, there are space to increase their activities.

  8. (3 min. for 1/2) Status of SMCS Chapters • 18 Chapters are running Chile, Milwaukee, North Jersey, Orlando, Philadelphia, Bulgaria, Central & South Italy, France, Germany, Hungary, UK&RI, Boading, Beijing, Hong Kong, Japan, Shenzhen, Singapore, Taipei • Petitions to create 4 Chapters were sent to IEEE Croatia, Central Texas, Vancouver, Kitchener Waterloo • 6 Chapters are collecting signatures to establish Portugal, Mexico, Calgary, Okayama, Korea (Seoul or Daejeon), Guanzhou

  9. (3 min. for 2/2) Organizing Chapters Events • Chapter Chairs are strongly encouraged to keep active by organizing special events such as conferences, meetings, lectures program. • SMCS can provide up to $1,000 for max 5 chapters per year for organizing a special event (proposal is required). • Distinguished Lecturer Program: SMCS supports the travel cost of DL in part for Chapter activities. (See detail at SMCS web page.)

  10. (10 min. for 1/3) TC Operation Manual • It defines the role of each SMCS technical position explicitly. • Six criteria to evaluate & close TCs decided in 2000: • organizing session(s) at the SMC annual conference, • giving tutorial course(s) at the SMC annual conference, • organizing workshop(s) or conference(s) sponsored by SMCS, • organizing special issues for the SMC Transaction(s), • submitting tutorial paper(s)for the SMC Transaction(s), and/or • serving as an Associate Editor for SMCS transactions Old Rules anymore new rules decided at BoG on 10/09/2005

  11. (10 min. for 2/3) Carrot and Stick Policy • Roll of TC Chairs for serving for SMCSbecame a little heavier. from: at least one of six activities in previous page to: organizing session(s) every year and one of other five activities within 5 years • SMCS's supports to TCs will increase. TC promotion at web page IT supports for TC activities

  12. (10 min. for 3/3) TC Chair's New Duty-- newly changed in 2005 • All TC Chairs, Co-Chairs or Vice-Chairs must be IEEE members of SMCS. • To provide an incentive for SMC chapters to collaborate with the TCs in order to strengthen the role of TCs as SMCS’ technical leaders and to attract the establishment of more grass root organizations that can help boost the SMCS membership drive. • All TC Chairs will be invited to serve as PC members of the annual SMC Conference. • Each TC must organize at least one invited session at conferences or workshops sponsored by SMCS. • As a long term goal, each TC shall organize, within a period of 5 years, at least one special issue in a journal (preferably in one of the SMC publications), one workshop or local conference (preferably in collaboration with at least one SMC chapter), and/or one collaborative project with the industry.

  13. (5 min.) Role change - TCs as SIGs • One idea under discussion is to change the role of TCs as Special Interest Groups (SIGs). • Its objectives are to welcome almost all SMCS membership to join TC activity, encourage their voluntary activity based on their interest, and increase SMSC's technical activities. • To support the SIG activity, SMCS will technically support Internet technology for SIG meeting on Internet, TC e-newsletter, TC mailing list, TC BBS, and others. • All reactions from TC Chairs to this idea are favorable.

  14. (5 min.) Promotion/Support for TCs • TC web design(by TC web Editor, Hong Yan)1. TC promotion to recruit members Direction （objectives, scope, and mission） Actual （what we are doing now?） Members（Chair with a photo and members' names） Message（appeal your TC to non-TC members)are collected by the end of November and opened from 1/01.2. IT support functions for TC activities What kind of IT supports are helpful for technical activities of your TC or Chapter? • Annual budget

  15. (1 min.) Announcement frome-Newsletter Editor Call for Technical Advisor It would be helpful if TC members of respective technical areas can come up with some suggestions how to feature more commented highlights from SMC-A and SMC-B in the Newsletter.

  16. Thank you! Thank you for your voluntary servicefor IEEE SMC Society.
