Vision
The SES-TC has been formed with the
goal of providing a forum and dissemi-
nation mechanism for the interplay
between social security and economic
security and to improve decision mak-
ing and management performance of
security policies, such as social securi-
ty, pension insurance, individual eco-
nomic security, and national economic
security. The TC strives to maintain
the SMC's leadership position in the
research of SES, provides strategic
support to SMC members active in
SES research, and serves as a link
among members of the SES-TC and
other TCs within the SMC Soci-
ety (SMCS).
Mission
The mission of the SES-TC is to pro-
vide an entity within the IEEE for SES
researchers, engineers, and practitio-
ners interested in promoting SES as a
research domain. The SES-TC shall
support the organization of conferenc-
es, special sessions, special journal
issues, learning materials, best practic-
es, tutorials, sessions, webinars, and
other educational resources related
to SES. The TC will be involved in
international standardization efforts
and a source of professional knowl-
edge on state-of-the-art best practices
and trends in SES, with the objective
of becoming a center of excellence in
SES and re lated interests of the
IEEE. Our goal is to stimulate growth
of this specific TC within the SMCS
to get more members interested in
the activities and to benefit from
IEEE membership.
Differences from
Existing TCs
The Homeland Security TC focuses on
information systems, algorithms, and
database research of relevance to in-
ternational and national security. The
Logistics Informatics and Industrial
Security Systems TC concerns intelli-
gent logistics, smart city, smart supply
chain, electronic commerce, smart
buildings, the Internet of Things, big
data, energy security, information se-
curity engineering, logistics security
