Which Future?
• Reaching out • Target audience• Professional engineers• Integration and involvement• Comprehensiveness• Support to education
Reaching Out
To expand publicity and interactions worldwide for the Systems Journal– at our conferences– at major conferences of the Member Societies– with non-IEEE entities
Publicity media – flyers to be distributed at major conferences– poster to be displayed at major conferences– announcements distributed through newsletters and
emailing lists of Member Societies
Target Readers
To focus publicity and publication
– on scientists
– on professional engineers
– on governmental bodies
– on students
To attract the various audiences with material valuable to them
Professional Engineers
To care specifically to the needs of professional engineers
through real cases and methodological perspective
Integration and Involvement
To attract interest from various technical
groups focusing on specific topics
To make everybody feeling at home
To attract contributions from outstanding
individuals and groups
Support to education
To create a knowledge base supporting
advancement of theory and practice in our field
Anything More?
Going beyond
the traditional publication perspective
(conference proceedings and
archival journals)
