T
echnical Committees are the basis of research advancements
in all societies, and the Instrumentation
and Measurement Society of the IEEE (IMS) is not an
exception from this point of view. The IMS has 23 Technical
Committees that range from Condition Monitoring to Wireless
Measurements. Technical Committees are created by the IMS
when it appears that a new research area is attracting several
researchers. As an example, the last created Technical Committee
is devoted to measurements in the radiation and nuclear
area. At the same time, when an area is no longer attracting researchers,
the Technical Committee is closed.
Traditionally, the closed Technical Committee number is
not reused and this explains why the last created TC has the
number 45. Should you be interested in the main society research
areas, the list of the currently active TCs and their
Chairs is, of course, on the IMS web site at https://ieee-ims.
org/technical-committees.
The Magazine, as you can imagine, tries to explain to any
reader the research types carried out by the IMS, and we decided
to ask all of the TC Chairs to explain the type of research
they are carrying out in their TC. In this issue you will find
seven research areas corresponding to seven different Technical
Committees. Listing them in order of Technical Committee
number, we have details about the Emerging Technologies
in Measurement (TC-6), Waveform Generation (TC-10), Advances
in Materials (TC-17), Intelligent Measurement Systems
(TC-22), Biological and Medical Measurements (TC-25),
Measurements in Power Systems (TC-39), and Photonic Technology
(TC-42). Other Technical Committee updates may
follow in the next issues of the Magazine, with the aim of letting
you know what the IMS is doing.
Adapting a famous historical sentence used by a former
President of the United States: Ask not what the Instrumentation
and Measurement Society can do for you, ask what
you can do for the Instrumentation and Measurement Society.
If you work in a field covered by an already established
Technical Committee, contact the Chair and join the Technical
Committee. If you think a Technical Committee is missing and
several researchers are actively working in the area, contact me
and start being engaged.
Again, an historical sentence, carrying an important and
real message: We need you!
