WHO ARE WE? IEEE is the world’s largest technical professional organization, at over 400, 000, dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity. IEEE’s core purpose is to foster technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity. Its vision is to be essential to the global technical community and to technical professionals everywhere, and be universally recognized for the contributions of technology and of technical professionals in improving global conditions. AESS is a Society within IEEE, serving over 4, 500 members. It is the only professional society dealing with total integrated electronic systems and the enabling technologies. The AESS provides a global professional home for engineers working in the electronic systems domain. The field of interest shall be the organization, systems engineering, design, development, integration, and operation of complex systems for space, air, ocean, or ground environments. These systems include but are not limited to navigation, avionics, mobile electric power and electronics, radar, sonar, telemetry, military, law -enforcement, automatic test, simulators, and command control. http: //ieee-aess. org/ 3
