IEEE Computer Society Standards Activities Board Seminar:
Standards Development Opportunities & Leadership Experiences
2025 Feb 20th, Tokyo and Online
https://jp.ieee.org/files/IEEE%20Computer%20Society%20Standards%20Activities%20Board%20Seminar.pdfhttps://jp.ieee.org/If it wasn't for industry standards, every engineer would be struggling significantly more to develop and implement new technology. Many of us who have worked in computing have had to reference one standard or another, and as the industry moves quicker every year, the need to develop new standards in computer science and engineering more become even more important. But how do these standards get created? Who comes up with these? What are the hot topics in, for example, AI and Wi-Fi for standards?
Join us for a special presentation with a few IEEE Computer Society's Standards Activities Board experienced standards experts to get all questions answered! Furthermore, the IEEE CS 2025 President will introduce its strategic areas and the SWEBOK Guide, which has been adopted as an ISO/IEC standard.
