Governance

Under the supervision and the coordination of the IEEE CIS Technical Activities Committee, The Emergent Technologies Technical Committee (ETTC) is established to promote and nurture new and emergent approaches, concepts, and areas that relate or are within the scope of the CIS and should be embraced by the CIS in tangible ways such as sponsorship of conferences, symposia, and educational activities. The ETTC also recommends new TCs to the CIS when necessary.
