The IEICE-CS new Board of Directors consists of President, President-Elect, VP
for "Technical Groups and Conferences", VP for "Membership Service
and Finance", Editor-in-Chief and several Directors who have clearly defined
responsibilities.
This Board of Directors is smaller in size and hence many of the "rights
and duties" are delegated to the Board of Technical Groups and Editorial
Board. This allows the Board of Directors to concentrate on strategic issues such
as the creation of more attractive services and the development of international
membership. They are also responsible for determining the overall optimum balance
amongst the various activities of the IEICE-CS.
The IEICE-CS Editorial Board, headed by Prof. Tomonori Aoyama, Editor-in-Chief,
will prepare during this year for the full introduction of our Electronic Transactions
for better service and finance.
The IEICE-CS Board of Technical Groups, headed by Prof. Iwao Sasase, VP, Technical
Groups and Conferences, will develop new ideas for technical committee meetings
to exchange more actively current and hot technical issues.
Prof. Yasushi Wakahara, VP, Membership Service and Finance, will promote together
with the Directors, efficient management and the development of new services.

Our IEICE-CS activities are increasing every year through the dedicated works
of volunteers, for example more papers in Transactions and more presentations
in the technical committee meetings. This is one of our strengths and at the same
time should improve our financial status, which is the responsibility of the Board
of Directors.
Another strength of the IEICE-CS is our membership from industry. Although many
of these members are interested in academic activities such as transaction papers,
other members may require rather professional community services. I am confident
our IEICE-CS activities such as conferences, technical committee meetings and
journals provide the best platform for promoting industry-academia collaboration.
