Intelligent Systems Applications TC

Name

This organization is known as the Intelligent Systems Applications Technical Committee (ISATC) of the Computational Intelligence Society (CIS) of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE).

Purpose and Scope

The goals of the ISATC are: (1) to foster more effective transfer of computational intelligence technologies and higher levels of intelligence to large-scale applications important to humanity; (2) to foster greater feedback from the challenges encountered in these applications to the core research in computational intelligence; (3) to make it easier for researchers and corporations whose background is primarily in computational intelligence to increase their contributions in these areas; (4) to develop stronger two-way liaisons with other professional societies who support these goals, as well as with industry and governments.

Membership

The ISATC is open to any members of the IEEE, 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 ISATC 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 ISATC activities but are unable to actively participate. Non-active members will automatically become active members when present at a ISATC meeting. Affiliates are non- IEEE members who have an interest in ISATC activities and meetings, but will not be eligible to vote on matters before the committee.

Officers

The ISATC Chair shall be appointed by the President of the IEEE/CIS based on the recommendations from the committee, for a one-year term and up to a maximum of three terms. Each November, the ISATC shall make recommendation to the President for appointment as ISATC Chair for the following year.

Funding

There is no membership fee for joining the ISATC. 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 ISATC activities. The Chair shall be responsible for the appropriate use of the approved funds.

Activities

The ISATC shall engage in various activities in order to advance the goals described above, including but not limited to the following:, participate in paper reviews and selection for CIS-sponsored conferences, nominate lecturers for the CIS distinguished speakers program, collaborate on production of tutorials, sponsor publication of books or CD-ROMs, and organize specialized focused workshops or meetings. Most of the activities of the ISATC shall be conducted through subcommittees, whose core activities will consist of: (1) strategic discussions, primarily by email and ad hoc discussions in person, about how to advance the ISATC goals within their specific domain; (2) acting as a clearing house to disseminate these discussions and other information as they deem appropriate, particularly via the ISATC web page; (3) where appropriate, support the ISATC input to other organization it acts as liaison to, such as the IEEEUSA Energy policy committee and the IEEE-USA Communications and Information Policy Committee. The ISATC will also work with the organizers of CIS-sponsored conferences to insure and maintain the technical excellence, and endeavor to provide technical and planning integration to the activities of the subcommittees, which it will appoint and oversee.

Meetings

Meetings will be called by the Chair one or two times a year usually before the CIS AdCom meetings, or as requested by the ISATC members. Sufficient advanced 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.
