| Message from the EiC |
Welcome to the March 2018 issue of VTS Mobile World—your
IEEE Vehicular Technology Society newsletter. In this issue, our President presents
his message on increasing membership values to industry including some great
initiatives VTS had in recent years.
Later on, the
Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, the highly-ranked
VTS journal, provides a report to the membership on the status of the
Transactions. A call for new candidates
to the successful Distinguished Lecturer program, introduction of Washington
VTS Chapter, and a call for VTS Awards nominations are among other news in this
issue.
I hope you enjoy
reading this issue and again, I look forward to hear from you on how we can
better serve all VTS members. I can be reached at a.jamalipour@ieee.org. Read More... |
