IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine - Winter 2015 - 4

President's Corn er

Bill Bidermann

Welcome to 2015

A

As 2014 draws to a close, there are
several changes to IEEE Solid-State
Circuits Magazine that will inaugurate a period of exciting growth.
The first is a change in the magazine's leadership. Founding Editor-inChief Mary Lanzerotti, who has been
instrumental in nurturing the magazine
during its first six years, and was principal in its migration from newsletter
status in 2008, has stepped down. Taking over as editor-in-chief is Jake Baker.
Jake has been the magazine's associate editor for technology for the past
four years and brings new ideas and
energy to the publication. Going forward, the magazine's orientation will
change to technology overviews like
the feature piece in this issue, entirely
tutorial editions, and mixtures of historical review articles on a particular
topic or interconnected topics.
Within this edition, you will find a
vital summary of technology trends for
our field that showcase key advances
in 2014 as well as what lies ahead.

SSCS-Sponsored Conferences:

Circuits Society (SSCS) continued in
2014 and promises to get even better in the coming year. ESSCIRC 2014
convened in Venice, Italy, in September, and A-SSCC, our last major
conference of the year, met in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, on 10-12 November.
When this magazine arrives in your
mailbox, ISSCC 2015 will be just
around the corner, followed by the
VLSI Circuits Symposium on 15-19
June, in Kyoto and CICC in September in San Jose, California.
If you haven't yet taken the
opportunity to attend one of these
fine conferences, I urge you to plan
now to attend one in 2015. It's a
great investment in your career, with
tutorials, presentations, and demos
of cutting-edge developments in the
field, and the chance to meet and
discuss all aspects of solid-state
circuits with circuit design leaders
from both industry and academia.

Member Benefits Boost
The year 2015 will see a significant
focus on projects to expand benefits
for SSCS members. One already in
the works entails an extension of our
Distinguished Lecturer (DL) program.
To build on a growth spurt from our
customary two or three multispeaker
tours per year to as many as five in

IEEE SOLID-STATE CIRCUITS MAGAZINE

If you haven't
yet taken the
opportunity to
attend one of these
fine conferences,
I urge you to plan
now to attend
one in 2015.

2014, we are targeting ten for 2015,
double that number.
If your Chapter would like to host
one of these events, please contact
SSCS DL Program Chair Domine Leenaerts, to help you arrange it. I hope
you'll enjoy this increase in our DL
program, along with other new ventures to be announced.
Please feel free to contact me
(bill@bidermann.com) or any of the
Administrative Committee members,
whose contact information is on our
Governance page on our Web site, to
let us know how we can better serve
you, the members of the IEEE SolidState Circuits Society.
In the meantime, I wish you and
yours best wishes for a very prosperous and happy 2015.
