 It is an honor and a privilege to take on the role of Editor in
Standards for the VT Magazine. IEEE Vehicular Technology Society has been an intellectual home to me throughout my
career, and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to serve in this community
since 2010 as an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular
Technology and a Lead Co-chair of Recent Results Track of VTC2014-Fall in Vancouver. To me, VTS is
characterized by the brilliance of its leadership and its participants, and it
is a great experience to work in both the flagship VTC
conference, and VT Transactions under the leadership from Prof. Weihua Zhuang, Prof. Michael Fang,
and Prof. Robert Schober, respectively. I am looking forward to working closely
with Prof. Klaus David, Dr. Dennis Bodson, and all related colleagues of the
magazine!
Standards are crucial for the development of new technologies as
they encourage innovation in the industry and shorten the time-to-market of
products and technologies. In IEEE, IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) is a
leading consensus building organization that nurtures, develops and advances
global technologies. IEEE standards
drive the functionality, capabilities and interoperability of a wide range of
products and services that transform the way people live, work and
communicate. With collaborative leaders
in more than 160 countries, the IEEE-SA promotes innovation, enables the
creation and expansion of international markets and help protect health and
public safety. For our Society, we would develop standards under the auspices
of the IEEE-SA. This is accomplished
through the VTS Standards Committee.
This committee is the Sponsor Committee, and is responsible for the
development of standards within the Field of Interest of the Society. The Committee receives guidance from the VTS
Board of Governors. In addition, the VTS Standards Committee may also be
requested by IEEE-SA to develop standards in the field of Vehicular technology.
In my
capacity as an Editor in Standards for the Vehicular Technology Magazine, I
will share with you the latest progress in different standards development
organizations that are appropriate for our community. I would like to enlist the help of the
community at large. What materials might
you want to know the most from this column? How might you interest in
contributing materials to this column that helps introduce to our readership
interesting new areas being discussed or adopted in a standards for mutual
exploration? I have great faith in the
intelligence, creativity, and ingenuity of the Society, and I do hope that you
will share your thoughts and ideas with me.
I look forward to hearing from you.
