f=0042 IEEE CIS > Technical Activities Computational Finance and Economics TCNameThis organization is known as the Computational Finance and Economics Technical Committee (CFETC) of the Computational Intelligence Society (CIS) of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, Inc. (IEEE). Purpose and ScopeThe purpose of the CFETC is to promote the research, development, education, and understanding of computational finance and economics. Scope of computational finance and economics includes:
MembershipThe CFETC is open to all members of the CIS, as well as to other technical professionals as affiliates. There are three grades of members: active, non-active, and affiliate. Active members are those who regularly participate in CFETC activities and meetings and shall be eligible to vote on matters before the committee. Non-active members are those who have an interest in the CFETC activities but are unable to actively participate. Non-active members will automatically become active members when present at a CFETC meeting. Affiliates are non-IEEE members who have an interest in CFETC activities and meetings, but will not be eligible to vote on matters before the committee. OfficersThe CFETC Chair shall be appointed by the President of the CIS based on the recommendations from the committee, for a one-year term and up to a maximum of three terms. Each November, the CFETC shall make recommendation to the President for appointment of the CFETC Chair for the following year. CFETC members are appointed by the CFETC Chair on an annual basis. FundingThere is no membership fee for joining the CFETC. Funding for the committee shall be provided by the CIS in the annual budget request. Once approved by the CIS AdCom, funds will be available to support the CFETC activities. The Chair shall be responsible for the appropriate use of the approved funds. The Chair produces an annual financial report to the AdCom. ActivitiesThe CFETC shall engage in various activities in order to promote wider acceptance of computational finance and economics as a prominent, multi-disciplinary research, identify and promote new areas of research in computational finance and economics, collaborate on production of tutorials and book series within the area, promote IEEE Senior Members and Fellows program, maintain the Committee's website, maintain a network of expertise in computational finance and economics, and organize conferences, workshops or special sessions in CIS-sponsored conferences. The CFETC will actively work with the organizers of CIS-sponsored conferences to insure their technical excellence. Computational Finance and Economics NetworkResearchers in computational finance and computational economics are invited to join the Computational Finance and Economics Network. Planned Activities
MeetingsMeetings will be called by the Chair once a year, usually in conjunction with the CIS AdCom meetings, or at IEEE conferences organized by the CFETC, or as requested by the CFETC members. Sufficient advance notice of the meetings will be given to the members, as well as to other interested parties. The Chair shall prepare an agenda before the meeting, and shall prepare minutes for distribution after the meeting. Next meeting: A lunch meeting with the TC members would be organized at CEC 2006 (Vancouver). AmendmentsThis Charter becomes official after at least 2/3 core members present at The Committee Meeting approves it. Subsequent changes and amendments also require 2/3 majority vote. Members
