Two areas that have gained significant popularity and importance over the past 15 years are security and privacy.
What exactly is the IEEE?
What are its goals?
How does the Computer Society fit into that?
The IEEE is the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
It is the worlds largest technical professional society and is a non-profit organization dedicated to directly serving its members.
The IEEE consists of many different communities.
How many active members do you have today?
Where are they mainly located?
The IEEE as a whole has about 425,000 members.
The Computer Society is the largest society within the IEEE with about 60,000 members.
All of our members are located across the globe.
The two major publications that came out of that awareness were the ITProfessional and the Security & Privacy magazine.
Both of those publications have continued to be very popular with our members.
The next big challenge was addressing the digital revolution - specifically, how do we manage online publications.
Although we have come a long way in this area, it is still a work in progress.
algorithms), while the IEEE is more “practical” and focused on building things.
After all, our members are engineers.
There is a very interesting back story to that publication.
It was originally proposed in the year 2000 and was working its way through the approval process.
But then, September 11 happened and there was suddenly a much greater sense of urgency.
It was formally launched as an independent publication in 2002.
It covers a broad range of related topics, including security, liability, and patentability.
What specific topics are usually addressed?
The IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy is really one of our crown jewels in terms of conferences.
We have already scheduled and secured a location through 2021.
We normally attract (and limit it to) 600 attendees.
How do you see security and privacyissues and policiesevolving in the coming years?
We are very involved in policy issues - not just technology for technology’r sake.
At the end of the day, governments and industry must work together on security and privacy.
Why effect, if any, is cloud computing having on security and privacy?
I really love this question!
I spend a lot of time talking to students, all around the world.
I emphasize the importance ofethical designin the future.
It is not just about the technology.
We need to be asking whatshouldthe software do andhowshould it do it.
But their impact is tremendous.
The same is true about future technologies and developments.
The real issues are with the impact, not with the technologies.
How many hours a day do you normally work?
What do you like to do when you are not working?
I usually work 10 hours a day and sometimes a little bit over the weekend.
I love spending time with my husband and pets (at least as much as my husband…).
