IEEE Accomplishments
As IEEE Communications Society treasurer I coordinated the
process of establishing and managing a $16M budget for the society that ended
each year with a surplus.
As a member of the IEEE Communications Society Standards
Board I oversaw the creation of four new ComSoc sponsored IEEE standard working
groups and developed a good understanding for how IEEE SA can work with new
organizations to develop standards.
My participation in the IEEE Technical Activities Board
Finance Committee has provided me visibility into the best practices,
activities, and needs of other societies.
As IEEE Multimedia Communications Technical Committee chair,
I grew the size and increased participation of the committee. This experience provided me a good
understanding of IEEE’s core constituency — its technical folks. As committee chair I also worked with three
other IEEE societies on a joint publication, IEEE Transactions on Multimedia,
and the jointly sponsored conference, ICME — gaining more experience on the
pros and cons of collaboration between organizations.
Other Accomplishments
My role as president of the OSGi Alliance has given me experience
in both standards (as an industry consortium) and running a board consisting of
several large companies where compromises often must be made to reach
consensus.
Statement
A main challenge currently facing IEEE is maintaining relevance to the practicing engineer. I believe IEEE SA can uniquely address this need. Standards is an area that is important to practicing engineers as companies and governments deploy systems and technologies that are based on open standards.
There needs to be a focus on standards with real market needs and that meet a market demand (i.e., not addressed by other standards bodies), I believe my background running a commercial applied research program that must justify research topics based on relevancy and market potential provides me with the necessary background and expertise for establishing criteria needed to evaluate the worthiness of proposed standards.
My experience in forming research collaborations and liaisons between the OSGi Alliance, an industry consortium of which I am president, and other related organizations will be useful in guiding the formation of collaborations between IEEE SA and other groups.
