  • IEEE Future Directions Newsletter
    ISSUE 22 | December 2019 In this Issue: IEEE Technology Roadmaps Grow IEEE Future Directions at IEEE GLOBECOM 2019 IEEE Future Directions Technical Communities Technology Policy and Ethics Current Activities in our Technical Communities IEEE Future Directions Events IEEE Technology Roadmaps Grow Interest in technology roadmaps is growing. A number of IEEE organizational units are participating in the development of new technology roadmaps or continuing the work of established roadmaps. The start of some recent IEEE roadmap activity began as an effort to continue the work of the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors 2.0 (ITRS). The Heterogeneous Integration Roadmap (HIR), sponsored by IEEE Electronics Packaging Society (EPS), SEMI, IEEE Electron Devices Society (EDS), IEEE Photonics Society, and the ASME Electronic & Photonic Packaging Division (EPPD), published the first chapters of its 2019 edition in October, with additional chapters being released on a rolling basis. Another recently published technology roadmap, the International Technology Roadmap on Wide Bandgap Semiconductors (ITRW), has made the first edition of its roadmap free to members of the sponsoring society, IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS). A third technology roadmap, which began in the IEEE Standards Association Industry Connections program and has found a home in the IEEE Rebooting Computing Initiative, IEEE International Roadmap for Devices and Systems™ (IRDS), published its second edition this year. In order to support IEEE’s technology roadmap activities, the IEEE Roadmaps Strategy and Governance (IRSG) Ad Hoc Committee was formed in May 2018. The committee, led by Chair Rakesh Kumar, consists of a steering committee and a user group. The user group serves as a forum for communication between the representatives of various published and developing IEEE roadmaps, as well as a resource for capturing best practices and guidelines.
