ANNOUNCEMENTS
 
 
 
 

 
 

Time flies fast and another year passed. I would like to sincerely thank Prof. Terry Martin for his full dedication in leading the IES for the past two years during this particularly difficult pandemic time. Thanks to him, the IES has been kept in great shape by developing journals, organizing conference activities, and increasing a significant number of memberships. I would also like to thank the IES officers who completed their term of office in 2021: Prof. Roberto Oboe (Vice President for Technical Activities), Prof. Juan J. Rodriguez-Andina (Vice President for Conference Activities), Prof. Makoto Iwasaki (Vice President for Planning and Development). Our colleagues have known themselves as excellent professional who have served the IES community with outstanding commitment and dedication. Thank you all again, and we look forward to your support in the future.

I would like to wish all IES members a healthy, happy, prosperous year 2022! I hope to see you soon in person during IES conferences or other events.

MEET OUR TECHNICAL COMMITTEES
 
 
 
 

The IEEE IES Technical Committee on Technology Ethics and Society (TC-TES) aims to provide a forum for academia and industry to exchange information, ideas, research directions, roadmaps, impacts, and lessons learned in the cross-disciplinary area pertaining to technology ethics and societal implications. Motivated by the rapid advances in key areas such as Artificial Intelligence, Intelligent and Autonomous Systems, and the applicability of these in Industry, TC-TES aims to address the intersection and implications of these. Aspects of interest in TC TES include: Machine Ethics, Implications of Industrial Technologies, AI and Ethical Decision Making, AI Control and failsafe, AI Explainability, AI Transparency, Algorithmic Bias, Artificial Intelligence Societal Implications, Autonomous Systems in Society, Education and Training on Ethical AI Systems, Engineering Management of AI Systems and Applications, Engineering of Ethical Systems, Ethical Decision-making and Safety in Industrial Systems, Ethically driven Robotics and Automation Systems, Industrial Technologies Acceptance, Rational Decision Making and Ethics, Security, Trust and Privacy Implications of Autonomous Systems, Gender aspects in technology ethics and society research, etc.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The aim of the TC Building Automation, Control, and Management is to serve as an interdisciplinary forum for research, development, production and integration in the broad field of Building Automation. Its goal is to build up an international network of experts and to establish synergies among institutes, companies and user organizations concerned.

FEATURED TECHNICAL ARTICLES
 
 
 
 


 
 

Microgrids are the most promising component of the power system capable of ensuring resilient energy services for critical infrastructure that is impacted by either natural disasters or man-made incidents. Of increasing concern are the possible cyber-physical threats that could disrupt the provision of macrogrids’ energy services to critical infrastructure and consequently impact the resilience and sustainability of communities. This paper is tightly related to cyber-social-physical system design, monitoring, and control of microgrids.
