The goal of the Biomedical Circuits and Systems (BioCAS) Technical Committee is to foster research, development, education and industrial dissemination of knowledge relating to the emerging field of microelectronics and nanotechnology in biological and medical applications. The activity is genuinely multidisciplinary, drawing upon knowledge and expertise from fields such as life sciences, medicine, nanotechnology, in addition to areas more traditionally associated with the CAS society such as analog and digital circuits and systems.

The goal of the Cellular Nanoscale Networks and Array Computing (CNNAC) Technical Committee is to foster research, development, education and industrial dissemination of knowledge relating to the emerging field of cellular dynamic computers and models briefly called CNN computing. CNN (“cellular neural/nonlinear network”) computing is used as a generic term for analog and logic (analogic) stored programmable array computers and models with a core of mainly locally interconnected dynamical systems. The activity is genuinely multidisciplinary, drawing upon knowledge and expertise from fields such as biology, physics, and chemistry, in addition to areas more traditionally associated with the IEEE such as electrical and computer engineering, computer science, and information technology.

Communication Systems will continue to become more complex in order to provide higher levels of performance. In addition, due to the increased variability inherent in nanoscale technologies, the scarcity of spectrum resources and the desire to provide additional communications services, systems will become increasingly flexible, adaptable, cognitive, and tolerant of increased variability in nanoscale technologies.
