Technical Committees


33

Current Status & Path Forward Some are active Most of them are dormant


44

Lessons Learned by the Computer Society “Special Technical Communities” in IEEE Computer,

June 2011 (Vol. 44, No. 6) pp. 84-88


5555

Instead of many small committees each with a limited number of members, we propose to create only a few committees, each with several sub-committees focusing on different emerging and timely topics.

Subcommittees can be formed, expanded, or even dissolved dynamically in response to the community's needs and the latest trends in technology.

The parent Technical Committees will remain active for the purpose of continuity and to help the Reliability Society maintain a core group of scientists and practitioners.

A New Model (1)


6666

Each Technical Committee has a Chair Each subcommittee has a Coordinator Chairs and coordinators must be affiliated with RS Committee members also preferred to be RS members,

but some exceptions can be made– Need wide buy-in from the communities (industry, academia,

government agencies, international organizations, etc.)

A New Model (2)


7777

Each technical committee and/or its subcommittees will have regular meetings (2 or 3 times each year) at conferences attended by a majority of its members.– Not only reduce the traveling cost but also make it convenient for

people to attend these meetings.

All the committees will have a strong participation in the Society’s Annual Technology Report and RS Newsletter
