What's New at the IEEE Computer Society

      TechIgnite

      TechIgnite is the first event of its kind, bringing together more than 25 C-level experts in two action-packed days. You’ll delve into the latest tech trends, learn why you should or shouldn’t use them, and discover how to overcome challenges in cybersecurity, the Internet of Things, big data, and emerging technologies!
       
      PLUS, our Rock Star headliners, Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, and Grady Booch, Chief Scientist of Software Engineering at IBM, will both host fireside chats, allowing you to get the answers you need. Other Rock Star speakers include Brian David Johnson, Futurist, Intel; Peter Fonash, CTO, Department of Homeland Security; Annette Brüls, Vice President and President, Diabetes Services & Solutions, Medtronic; William Ruh, Vice President & Global Technology Director, GE Digital; Moe Tanabian, Head of ID8 Innovation Lab, Samsung Electronics; and Sky Matthews, CTO, IoT, IBM.

      Computing Edge

      Colloquium is a new printed digest of monthly article abstracts from the entire portfolio of journals published by the IEEE Computer Society. Starting in January 2017, Colloquium will replace the current OnlinePlus abstract booklet + CD mailer offered by some journals and will expand distribution to all journal subscribers each month. Colloquium is your insight into the groundbreaking research and results published in the Computer Society’s wide range of respected, topical transactions.

      70th Anniversary Student Challenge Submissions: Please vote! 

      The Computer Society's 70th Anniversary Student competition, which challenged students to identify a real-world problem and create a solution using a technology found in the Computer Society 2020 report, has drawn more than 30 submissions. The winner will receive up to $1,500 and travel expenses to attend and be recognized publicly during the IEEE Computer Society Annual Awards Banquet in Atlanta, GA, USA on 8 June 2016. Vote for the submissions here!

      Engineering Code of Ethics

      With an eye toward formalizing the field, the IEEE Computer Society has engaged in several activities to advance the professionalism of software engineering, such as establishing certification requirements for software developers. To complement this work, a joint task force of the Computer Society and ACM has recently established another linchpin of professionalism for software engineering: a code of ethics. After an extensive review process, version 5.2 of the Software Engineering Code of Ethics and Professional Practice, recommended last year by the IEEECS Joint Task Force on Software Engineering Ethics and Professional Practices, was adopted by both the IEEE Computer Society and ACM. Learn more about this important contribution to the field. 

      Transactions

      New journal in 2016: IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Computing (T-SUSC)
