IEEE Reliability Society IEEE Reliability Society http://www.ieee.org/society/rs Vol. 48, No. 3, July 2002 (ISSN 1059-8642) President’s Message CONTENTS Your Society Thanks to all of our members that participated in our Society’s Survey. Your AdCom wanted to obtain your viewpoint and to learn where we President’s Message are doing the right things, where we need to make improvements, and 1 where we need to make course corrections. From early data, a large majority responded that they were mem- Editor’s Column bers of the Reliability Society “To obtain current tech- 3 nical reliability information and resources to do my job” which is exactly what your Society is trying to Chapter Activities 3 provide. The final survey results will be briefed and provided to the AdCom in July, but just too late for this AdCom Meeting Minutes Newsletter issue. The results will be covered in the 5 next Newsletter, so watch for it. Again, many thanks to those members that participated. Educational Activites Your Society has a solid financial base, but the con- 8 tinuing corporate tax from Headquarters does strain the annual budget. Headquarters has updated many of their computer Standards News 10 systems and has provided members many new services, all of which re- quires money. As I have stated in past Newsletters, Headquarters com- Call for Papers: 2003 International Reliability mitted to these changes under good stock market conditions, but is Physics Symposium having to pay in this tough market period. The Societies are a major 14 revenue source for the IEEE, so that is where Headquarters looks in times of need. Your AdCom has been brainstorming ways to increase Meeting Notices revenues as well as provide additional technical benefit to you, our 16 members. YourAdCom will continue the brainstorming sessions at our Technical Magazine Section July AdCom meeting that started during our April AdCom meeting. 21 Hopefully, we will be able to put a plan of action in place to initiate a few new things and incrementally start rolling them out. Your Technical Operations Committees Your Society has almost twenty technical committees that are the tech- nical arm of your Society and are focused on specific reliability areas. These are the generators of the technical resources that you need and want. However, Technical Operations and its committees need your HELP! Many of the existing committees need members and a few need chairs. There are several areas that are not covered at all, so we would like to establish some new committees. But, this requires volunteers – people like you. This is an easy way to participate and to give some- thing back to your Society and profession. Most work is done by e-mail. It is a great way to get involved, make contacts, make contribu- tions, and accomplish something that has impact.

Kohli, Region 10 Director 1973 - 1974 Tata Consultancy Services I was Director of Region 10 in the year 1973-74. All my Predecessors at Region 10 were from Japan for two reasons, one was Region 10 Director was selected by the Board and not elected, and second, most of the technology development was taking place in Japan. I had the opportunity to build IEEE Sections, Councils and Student Chapters all over India. I also helped set up the first IEEE Section in South Korea and Singapore. The most significant contribution from my end was to get my colleagues on the Board to understand that most of the Indians and some from other countries would not find it possible to pay full dues of IEEE. During meeting of the Board in December 1974, the Board passed a Resolution to tie for those to provide discount in dues for those with income below a certain level. This helped the professional in developing countries to become member of IEEE. Naturally as their income level improved they started paying the regular dues. This gave tremendous response to IEEE Membership not only in India but also in Africa and some parts of South America. IEEE is a living organisation. It helps to build professional careers and is a source of knowledge on a continuos basis for members even at my age.

  • Internet Message Access Protocol from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia "IMAP" Redirects Here
    Internet Message Access Protocol From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "IMAP" redirects here. For the antipsychotic, see Fluspirilene. Internet message access protocol (IMAP) is one of the two most prevalent Internet standard protocols for e- mail retrieval, the other being the Post Office Protocol (POP).[1] Virtually all modern e-mail clients and mail servers support both protocols as a means of transferring e-mail messages from a server. [edit]E-mail protocols The Internet Message Access Protocol (commonly known as IMAP) is an Application Layer Internet protocol that allows an e-mail client to access e-mail on a remote mail server. The current version, IMAP version 4 revision 1 (IMAP4rev1), is defined by RFC 3501. An IMAP server typically listens on well-known port 143. IMAP over SSL (IMAPS) is assigned well-known port number 993. IMAP supports both on-line and off-line modes of operation. E-mail clients using IMAP generally leave messages on the server until the user explicitly deletes them. This and other characteristics of IMAP operation allow multiple clients to manage the same mailbox. Most e-mail clients support IMAP in addition to POP to retrieve messages; however, fewer email services support IMAP.[2]IMAP offers access to the mail storage. Clients may store local copies of the messages, but these are considered to be a temporary cache. Incoming e-mail messages are sent to an e-mail server that stores messages in the recipient's email box. The user retrieves the messages with an e-mail client that uses one of a number of e-mail retrieval protocols.

  • TAB Awards and Recognition Manual,Microsoft Word
    TECHNICAL ACTIVITIES BOARD AWARDS AND RECOGNITION MANUAL 2020 Includes new and revised awards (Approved by TAB through June 2020) PREFACE The IEEE shall recognize those who contribute to and support the purposes of the Institute in an exceptionally worthy manner. In furtherance of this objective, the Institute has created and fostered a broad program of formal recognitions, scholarships and awards of all types. The Institute encourages the formation of awards committees in its geographical, professional and technical entities to recognize outstanding achievements and services for the benefit of the IEEE and the engineering profession, and for those accomplishments which enhance the quality of life for all people throughout the world. IEEE Awards serve several purposes: (1) they are an expression of recognition for outstanding contributions to the art and science of electrical and electronics engineering; (2) they are an incentive to youth to emulate excellence, (3) they are a personalized recognition of the achievements of the profession and its members to the public, and (4) they identify the IEEE with these achievements. IEEE Policies The Technical Activities Board Awards and Recognition Manual provides a comprehensive listing of awards (including scholarships and other student awards) sponsored by IEEE Societies, Technical Councils, Technical Conferences, and the Technical Activities Board, itself. Information contained in this new edition of the Manual reflects the current information on approved awards on file in the Technical Activities Department. Awards are grouped under the headings of their sponsoring entities (primarily Societies and Technical Councils), with information that includes description/purpose, prize, eligibility, basis for judging, and presentation. If more detailed information is required for a specific award, it may be available through the sponsoring entity's Awards Committee.
