TAB-a conglomerate of 38 Societies and 7 Councils that promotes growth of technology, profession in the FOI of IEEE and serves the humanity
Long list of successes, both recent and present
Many of our journals top the ranking lists
Conferences are at its peak of popularity
Increasing membership
Societies prosper
Vibrant and growing chapters
Challenges
From the private sector
Digitization and globalization have deeply changed the landscape…, more to come
Key Thrusts of TAB Among Long Term Objectives
Appeal for Industrial Practitioners
Future (Technology) Directions Building Technical Communities All three intertwined…. Globalization Leveraging education in TA

PUBS:Digitization and Globalization have created new conditions
04/21/235
Classic, journal-centric model disappearing Journals subscriptions replaced either with package subscriptions by institutions, or by metered downloads by individuals
Most read just PDF/HTML downloadsNew Virtual Journals appear
Journals quality metrics change (IF to EFS to AIS to Altmetrics)
Open Access is with us to stayChallenges ahead (income distribution algorithm)
Open Access Launch in 2012/2013
Open Access: IEEE success story
$1st million income realized Yet issues persist
• Readers demand access• Authors want visibility• Pressures from ‘budget’ OA journals• Expectations from the legislature
Editing, reviewing, curating the e-content is not a free lunch
OA business model still unstable

IEEE faces a challenge of delivering content and services to the global body of engineers and researchers when– the rapid growth is outside
Regions 1-7 – its most customers are also there
How to better serve and embrace the global community?

Sub-regional Technical Activities Workshops
Entry barriers exist in some countries to become a qualified volunteer/leader
Higher barriers for some nations due to the rapid growth from agrarian to industrialized societies
Sub-regional TA Volunteers workshops free for Authors, Reviewers, Associate Editors, Technical/Program Chairs of Conferences are planned

Educational Activities in TA
04/21/2312
Our members change jobs 7 times in their professional careers, so….
How TA respond to S/C members’ and customers’ educational needs wrt. content delivery and level of service?
How to generate, curate, and offer a wide variety of S/C educational products to S/C members and customers?
Potential new business scenarios (how to progress), possibly linking with EAB
On-going work on Education in TA
04/21/2313
Create an inventory of Society and Council offerings
Identify ways to align TA and EAB education efforts to mutually leverage and collaborate on educational activities
See if a platform (one or more) or a new hardware/software infrastructure is needed
Thank you for your attention
