IEEE CASS Outreach Initiative 2013 – Call for Proposals
Call for Executive Committee Nominations – For the Term 2013-2014
Dear Circuits and Systems Society Member:
Each year, the members of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CASS) elect several members of the Executive Committee to serve the Society starting at the beginning of the following year. This year we are electing members for the following officer positions:
President Elect – 2013
Vice President Administration
Vice President Publication Activities
Please note the President Elect will subsequently serve as President of the Society and then as Past President according to CASS Constitution and Bylaws.
Descriptions of the duties of these officers and eligibility criteria can be found in the CASS Constitution and Bylaws. CASS is a volunteer-based organization. It is essential that we elect energetic and engaged leaders who will organize activities that will meet your needs and who will guide our Society into the future. As a CASS member, … More »
Call for Participation: 9th International Workshop on Complex Systems and Networks
Date: Sept 5-7, 2012
Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota
Workshop website: https://sites.google.com/site/iwcsn2012/
You are cordially invited to participate at the 9th International Workshop on Complex Systems and Networks (IWCSN). This year’s IWCSN will be the 9th International Workshop in the successful series of events organized consecutively in Bologna (2004), Hong Kong (2005), Vancouver (2006), Guilin (2007), Canberra (2008), Bristol (2009), Beijing (2010) and Melbourne (2011). The workshop will take place at the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis on Sept. 5-7, 2012.
The ubiquity of complex networks in science and technology has been recently noted by researchers in various disciplines. Due to the availability of massive amount of data regarding large scale complex networks and the availability of computational resources to analyze them, there has been a resurgence in activity to study such networks, … More »

MEDLINE to Include IEEE Publication
The IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Circuits and Systems has been selected to be indexed and included in
MEDLINE, the U.S. National Library of Medicine’s (NML) premier bibliographic database that contains over 18 million references to journal articles in life sciences with a concentration on biomedicine. The IEEE
Transactions on Biomedical Circuits and Systems is published by the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society and the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Since MEDLINE is the primary database used by medical professionals, it will potentially increase the publication’s circulation to a much larger audience.
MEDLINE is the primary component of PubMed; a link to PubMed is found on the NLM home page. The result of a MEDLINE/PubMed search is a list of citations (including authors, title, source, and often an abstract) to journal articles and an indication of free … More »
Call for Technical Program Chair(s) of CAS-FEST 2013
The IEEE Circuits and Systems society has recently initiated an annual technical Forum on Emerging and Selected Topics (CAS-FEST). The forum is a full-day event during ISCAS tutorials day, for in-depth treatment of an emerging research topic of interest to CASS members. CAS-FEST 2010 was held in conjunction with ICECS 2010, in Athens, Greece and focused on Variation-Aware Design for Nano-scale VLSI, while CAS-FEST 2011 was held in conjunction with ISCAS 2011, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and focused on Brain Machine Interfaces. CAS-FEST 2012 in Korea treats Heterogeneous NANO-circuits and Systems and proposed themes for CAS-FEST 2013 should cover a different topic.
CAS-FEST is designed by the Circuits and Systems Society as a high-impact, high-quality technical forum. High quality accepted papers, preferably authored by senior researchers, must be matched by high quality of presentations . It is required that … More »
Message from the IEEE CAS Vice President, Technical Activities: Vojin G. Oklobdzija
I would like to thank the Board of Governors for their vote to appoint me for another 2 years term as Vice President of Technical Activities. I have served a two year term 2010-2012 and my new term will end December 31st, 2013. The past two years have been challenging with respect to the two important tasks that I started: (a) defining a “vision” of CAS (b) evaluation and organization of Technical Committees. I expect to complete those tasks in my second term. Therefore I expect this term to be both difficult and challenging. I hope I will be able to deliver and justify the confidence that was given to me.
For the last 50 years we have been riding a “technology revolution” which started with the invention of Integrated Circuit in 1958, enabling the integration of a digital computer … More »
