New IEEE Data Privacy Policy and Its Impacts on E-Letters Dear E-Letter subscribers, Starting from May 25, 2018, a new regulation will take effect and impact the way IEEE units and IEEE volunteers interact with customers, members and volunteers. The General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR), enacted by the European Union, requires IEEE to obtain consent from customers, members and other individuals to allow continued communication with them, including the continued distribution of E-Letters. To help meet this requirement, IEEE will conduct a campaign to re-confirm consent from members to the new IEEE Data Privacy policy. As a subscriber of the E-Letters, in the next few weeks you will receive emails from IEEE requesting that you read and consent to the updated IEEE Data Privacy policy. The requested consent will be for all IEEE communications, not just the E-Letters. In the absence of response to the initial request, IEEE may send you additional emails. Once we receive from IEEE the updated mailing list of subscribers who have consented to the new IEEE Data Privacy policy, we will resume E-Letter distribution via the updated mailing list. Until then, no new issues of E-Letters will be sent out to the current mailing list. New issues, however, will continue to be published on the CSS website: http://ieeecss.org/publications/e-letter/archive/current. Any further notices regarding E-Letters will also be announced on this website. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding. Best Regards, Jianghai Hu Back to the contents 2. IEEE CSS Headlines 2.1. IEEE Control Systems Society Call for Nominations for 2018 Awards (due on May 15) Contributed by: Joao Hespanha, [email protected] Nominations for the IEEE Control Systems Society Awards listed below Open mid-March and are due on May 15. The IEEE Control Systems Society strongly encourages its members to speak up and reach out to colleagues to initiate award nominations. Each year, many highly qualified individuals, teams, and papers are overlooked for nominations simply because colleagues assumed that a nomination was already being prepared by someone else on the individual's, team's or authors' behalf. You may be surprised to find out that your colleagues would be very pleased to nominate you, if they had just been encouraged to do so. - George S. Axelby Outstanding Paper Award (for a paper published in 2016 or 2017 in the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control); - IEEE Transactions on Control System Technology Outstanding Paper Award (for a paper published in 2016 or 2017 in the IEEE Transactions on Control System Technology); - IEEE Control Systems Magazine Outstanding Paper Award (for an article published in 2016 or 2017 in the IEEE Control Systems Magazine); - IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems Outstanding Paper Award (for a paper published in 2016 or 2017 in the IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems) - IEEE Control Systems Technology Award (for outstanding individual or team contributions to control systems technology); - Control Systems Society Transition to Practice Award (for a distinguished contributor to the transition of control and systems theory to practice); - Antonio Ruberti Outstanding Young Researcher Prize (for a young researcher for innovation and impact on systems and control). - IEEE Control Systems Society Award for Excellence in Aerospace Control (for a team or individual con- tribution to Aerospace Control in the previous 36 months) See http://www.ieeecss.org/awards for full details of the different awards.

Rivera, [email protected] The IEEE Control Systems Society (CSS) Outreach Fund provides grants for projects that will benefit CSS members and the controls community in general. Since its inception in 2011, the Fund has made 60 grants on behalf of a diverse group of CSS member-led activities. The CSS Outreach Task Force is pleased to announce that the window for proposal submission for its 2018 spring solicitation will be held from May 1 to 25, 2018. Information regarding the program, which includes proposal requirements and descriptions of current and past funded projects, can be found in: http://www.ieeecss.org/general/control-systems-society-outreach-fund Potential applicants are encouraged to watch a 10-minute video describing the CSS Outreach Fund that is available from IEEE.tv: https://ieeetv.ieee.org/conference-highlights/daniel-e-rivera-the-css-outreach-program-providing-community- service-studio-tech-talks-sections-congress-2017? Inquiries, notices of intent, and requests for application forms must be made directly to Daniel E. Rivera, Outreach Task Force Chair, at [email protected]. Back to the contents 2.3. IEEE Control Systems Society Technically Cosponsored Conferences Contributed by: Luca Zaccarian, CSS AE Conferences, [email protected] The following conferences have been recently included in the list of events technically cosponsored by the IEEE Control Systems Society: - 56th Annual Allerton Conference on Communication, Control, and Computing.
