Abstract-The IEEE Consumer Technology Society (CTSoc) is the oldest technical society:
it was part of IRE 1920, which merged with AIEE to form IEEE in 1963. As CTSoc claims to
be an IEEE Technical Society and is actually one of the 39 IEEE Societies operating under
the IEEE Technical Activities Board, it was essential for its recent organizational
restructure to include a Technical Activities (TAs) area. This article summarizes the
efforts that have been put recently in place over slightly more than two years (since
September 2019) by a group of volunteers under the guidance of CTSoc's President and
with the help of VP of TAs to establish the TAs area and its 15 technical committees (TCs).
& UNTIL A COUPLE of years ago, the activities of
IEEE Consumer Technology Society (CTSoc) in
the education and technical fields were handled
under a single area, named educational & technical
activities. In September 2019, during the ICCE
Berlin conference, a group of volunteers led by
CTSoc's President Prof. Wahab Almuthadi started
to explore the idea of creating a " tool " aimed-at
least initially-to support the management
of CTSoc next conferences, helping, e.g., in the
building of organization committees, technical
program committees (TPCs), technical tracks,
sessions, and technical topics of conference
call for papers (CFPs). The concept of Society Conference
Technical Committee (SCTC) was launched

at that time operating and reporting to the VP
Conferences. The CTSoc's Board of Governors
(BoG) formalized the SCTC creation in its January
3, 2020, meeting, and appointed Prof. Fabrizio
Lamberti as the Chair.
TECHNICAL STREAMS, INITIALLY
In the months that followed, a process was developed
to establish the so-called TechnicalStreams (TSs).
The idea was to have a number of TSs representing the
main directions falling in the field of interest of CTSoc,
and endoweachTSwith an initial numberof volunteers
willing to help into them.
To this purpose, data regarding CTSoc conferences
of the preceding five calendar years were
analyzed.
First, topics in the CFPs and tracks in the final
programs of the said conferences were extracted,
and a summarization step was performed aimed
