Systems Council Presidents Summits

• Goal: Start Next Phase in Sys C Growth

• Propose New Model for an IEEE Council to “Work Together” w/S-Cs on Products & Services

• Create a Team w/Member S/Cs & Share Resources

• Achieve Highest Goal of Systems C to work “…systems of national and global significance…”

• Stabilize and Grow Sys C Business Plan

Systems Council Societies w/Interest

What Was Decided at Presidents’ Summit I?2008-02-16, 17; Louisville KY, USA

• Engaged Dialog & Ideas

• Presidents Liked Win/Win/Win

• Sys C Should Focus on a Specific SoS…not Generic

• Start a Joint SoS Conference in 2010

• Properly Manage Risk

• Presidents Will Decide in June…then Act

Goals for Presidents’ Summit II

• Choose One SoS for Joint Conference• Presidents Will Choose…Not Systems Council

• Understand Member S/Cs’ Value Needs and Address

• Presentations on Key SoSs

• Develop Conference Roll-out Plan• Funding and Sponsorship Plan; MOUs/MOAs

• Venue: Where, When?

• Conference Scope: How?

• Conference Program Committee Team

• Oversight Plan

• Explore Other Joint Opportunities…Later

Presidents’ at Summits Chose…

• Start w/HealthCare SoS Market

• Start w/2010 Conference in N. Am.

• Joint Conference • Also includes GEOSS Health and Privacy Foci• 1-2 Reps from each Society• Set up and Run Tracks in FoI of Society• EMBS = Key• 1st Meeting of Conference Committee ~Mid November

Post-Summit Sys C Decisions & Actions

• Systems C 2010 Conference Team• Conference Co-Chairs = Paul Gartz/Elliot Sloane; • Reps from Each Participating S/C Member + ICEO• Operates Like Any Conference…Bottom Lines to AdCom• Reports to Sys C and also Member S/Cs

• S/C Commitments & Reps• EMBS Board Review + Commitment; 8/20/08• AESS Board Review + Commitment; 9/29/08• Others Coming on Board in Oct 10/xx/08

• Next Step Planning & Meetings• 1st Joint Conference Committee Meeting 11/xx/08• Plan Likely to Proactively Structure Conf & Invite Papers

Sys C Decisions Needed

• Agree on Overall Direction• Scope: Joint Conference on Healthcare SoS in N Am.• Timeline:

• Feb – Jun, 2008 = S/C Presidents Support• Jul – Oct, 2008 Conference Committee Formation• ~Mar, 2009 Plan/Finances Review w/Sys C + S/Cs• ~Jun, 2009 Venue Committed; CFP• ~Jul, 2009 – May, 2010 Pre-implement in S/C Conferences• ~Nov, 2010 Conference

• Approve Finances…if Any Needed• No Funds Needed Now…Likely No Operating $ Needed• Likely No S/C Funding, but “Contributions”• Funds = Non-operating Budget (Standard IEEE Process)

Why are We Here?Basic Premise of Presidents’ Summits

• If Systems C “Works Together” w/Member S/Cs, We Can create a Win/Win

• If Systems C Succeeds Alone it’s a Win

• If We All Work w/IEEE Vision & Leadership on Societal Challenges, We can Create a Win/Win/Win

Find a “Working Together” Model

-• “Systems of Global and National Significance”

• Implies Systems-of-Systems, Nations and Transnational

• “Practitioner Focused”

• Includes All System Aspects for Holistic Look• “Living Systems” & HMI (Human-Machine Interface)

• Business, Economics, Politics, Marketing

• Industry , Academia, Government, Lay Public

• Management and Technical

• Bottom Line Performance Line RAA

Systems Council Scope (FoI)As Modified from 1st Meeting, September 2005, Montreal

We are an OU of “Practice”

How are SoS “Glued” Together? With Common IEEE Systems, Technologies, Theory, Methods Customized to Each Specific SoS

Why Should You Care about SoSs?

• Where Money Flows Will Change!!!• Global “Earth” Issues Recognized & GEOSS Formed

• Global Healthcare Crisis Recognized Affecting Humans & Business

• Global Defense/Security Investments are Already Changing

• Defense & Security will Link & Embrace “Dual Use” & Civil Sector

• Macro Transportation Issues: Land, Sea, Air

• New Research Grants and Business Growth Opportunities

• SoSs will Emerge as Macro-Integrators• SoSs will Specify Architecture Frameworks & New Requirements

• Telecomm/Nav/Computing/etc all used by SoSs in New Ways

• Earth Predictions are Key to Most

Market Scope Implications

• Sys C May Want a Sub-market for Each SoS• GEOSS, Healthcare, Security, Infrastructure, Transportation, etc.

• Separate Conference, Pubs, Outreach, etc. for Each

• Sys C May Want Variants by Region• Special “Events”/Outreach by Regional Interests/Concerns

• E.g., “Security” is a National Concern and may want differences by region

• So “Transnational” Becomes Super Important

• Need Ways to Organize and Partner for Each• None of these needs can be well met without S/C teaming

Observations…Issues & Opportunities

• Major Societal Issues are Escalating & Need

Technical Help & Holistic Systems Thinking

• Industry says to IEEE: “Do More Integration”

• IEEE Organizes by Independent OUs

• S/Cs and Sections Largely Work Separately

• But Major Businesses and Issues Cross IEEE Societies

• Good IEEE Vision, But Few Work Together

Seize Opportunity & Lead Bottom Up

How Do Sys C Societies Benefit? • Systems Council Creates a New Context for S/C’s

• SoS Are Larger, More Complex at National/Global Levels

• Generates New Research Topics, Curricula, Grants for Academia

• Brings Business Opportunities and Outreach to Industry

• Brings Integrated Technical Help to Government Problems

• Works Pressing and Interesting Societal Issues for S/C Members

• Re-brands IEEE to a One-stop “Systems Solution House”

• Conferences, Pubs, Technical, Education• Run Parts of New Conferences and New/Special Publications

• Market and Income Growth; NextGen Service to Members/Society

• New/Expanded Committees, Technical Opportunities

• Lots of Technical Outreach Needed…DLs, Expert Now/Tutorials

• Standards…New Anticipated…in “Layers”
