More About the Technical Committees
The operation of TCs is governed by Section 10 of the Society Bylaws. As appropriate, TCs are active in all of PELS’s activities. This includes:
- Providing representatives for the respective Technical Program Committee at PELS conferences
- Providing volunteers for professional reviews of submitted papers (e.g., soliciting assistance from among membership), and
- Organizing events (e.g., mini-conferences, symposia, panels, short courses, tutorials, etc.) as deemed appropriate by PELS and the Committee.
- Organizing workshops and conferences. Because of the broad nature of TC activities, collaborative sessions with other TCs can be sponsored and are heartily encouraged.
- As new technologies and application areas emerge, a TC should seek to address aspects of these topics relative to its charter and work with the Long-Range Planning Committee.
TCs also support PELS publications and standards activities by:
- Soliciting volunteers from its membership who can submit proposals and/or serve as authors, committee members, and/or editors.
- Looking for ways to increase the active participation of its members in informative change related to the career of the Committee, such as stimulating Feature Topics and Special Issues of PELS publications and sponsoring events on special topics (e.g., workshops, tutorials, short courses, panel sessions, etc.).
