Abstract

The mission of Technical and Standards Activities Committee (TSAC) of the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society (IMS) is to enable and promote Technical Committees (TCs) as the Society's "Centers of Expertise," and support and promote participation of individual IMS members in Standards Activities. Over the past years, the TSAC has managed 22 active TCs and supported the development of 18 IEEE Standards. The TSAC has worked closely with other committees in the IMS to promote various activities. For example, the TSAC works tightly with the Conference Committee to engage in the organization of various conferences and workshops. To date, our TC-25 fully sponsors the IEEE International Symposium on Medical Measurements & Applications (MeMeA), TC-37 sponsors the IEEE International Symposium on Measurements and Networking, TC-17 and TC-19 sponsor the Conference on Precision Electromagnetic Measurements (CPEM), and TC-13 and TC-37 sponsor the International Symposium in Sensing and Instrumentation in IoT Era. Since 2017, our TCs have been actively involved in promoting our flagship conference: IEEE International Instrumentation & Measurement Technology Conference (I2MTC). Every year, some of the TCs propose special sessions that are related to their technical expertise and attract many attendees to join the I2MTC.
