IEEE CIS > Technical Activities
Emergent Technologies TC
Name
This organization is known as the Emergent Technologies Technical Committee (ETTC)
of the Computational Intelligence Society (CIS) of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers, Inc. (IEEE).
Purpose and Scope
The ETTC tracks, identifies, promotes, and nurtures new and emergent
approaches, concepts, and areas that relate or are within the scope of the CIS and should be
embraced by the CIS in tangible ways such as sponsorship of conferences, symposia, and
educational activities. The ETTC also recommends new TCs to the CIS when necessary.
Membership
The ETTC 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 ETTC 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 Committee activities but are unable to actively participate. Non-active members
will automatically become active members when present at an ETTC meeting. Affiliates are non-
CIS members who have an interest in ETTC activities and meetings, but will not be eligible to
vote on matters before the committee.
Officers
The ETTC Chair shall be appointed by the President of the CIS based on the
recommendations from the Vice President-Technical Activities (VP-TA) and Committee, for a
one-year term and up to a maximum of three terms. Each November, the ETTC in consultation
with VP-TA shall make recommendation to the President for appointment as ETTC Chair for the
following year.
Funding
There is no membership fee for joining the ETTC. Funding for the committee shall be
provided by the CIS in the annual budget request. Once approved by the CIS ExCom and
AdCom, funds will be available to support the ETTC activities. The Chair shall be responsible
for the appropriate use of the approved funds with supporting documentation.
Activities
The ETTC shall engage in various activities in order to identify and nurture emergent
technologies of interest to the CIS, including but not limited to the following: propose special
sessions to the CIS-sponsored conference organizers, participate in paper reviews and selection
for CIS-sponsored conferences and publications, promote IEEE Senior Members and Fellows
program, collaborate on production of tutorials, and book series with the Multimedia Committee,
facilitate local chapters activities and organize specialized workshops or meetings. The ETTC
will assist in soliciting conference proposals and actively work with the organizers of CISsponsored
conferences to insure their technical excellence.
Meetings
Meetings will be called by the Chair once or twice a year, usually before the CIS
AdCom meetings and in conjunction with the annual International Joint Conference on Neural
Networks, or as requested by the ETTC members. Sufficient advance notice of the meetings will
be given to the members, as well as all other interested parties. The Chair shall prepare an
agenda before the meeting, and shall prepare minutes for distribution after the meeting.
Amendments
This Charter becomes official after at least 2/3 members present at the Committee
Meeting approves it. Subsequent changes and amendments also require 2/3 majority vote.
