 Greetings! I am pleased to write this message to the 22,000 plus participants of the IEEE Systems Council as I begin my term as President. I look forward to collaborating with you as we advance technology for humanity!
In case you are unfamiliar with Technical Councils in general or Systems Council in particular, here is a brief description. Technical Councils are groups of Societies working together in multidisciplinary technical areas of mutual interest, primarily through conferences and publications. Systems Council promotes activities around the technical area of systems and systems engineering. The IEEE Technical Activities Board (TAB) approved establishing the Systems Council to provide a continuing mechanism for Societies interested in systems and systems engineering, known as “Member Societies,” to collaborate. Systems Council currently has 18 Member Societies and others are considering membership. A Technical Council has no individuals as members per se, however IEEE members can elect to be “participants” of Technical Councils (at no charge).
It is customary to begin a new year with reflections on the past and plans for the future. I do this with some trepidation since the past three years were so disrupted by the pandemic and the future is notoriously difficult to predict. But it is also said that the best way to predict the future is to create it. 2023 will be a busy year as we hope and plan to continue emerging from the COVID pandemic that interrupted travel, meetings, conferences, and many other face-to-face activities.
Conferences have begun to return to an in-person format, although some virtual and hybrid events are also being held. On 24-26 October 2022, the IEEE International Symposium on Systems Engineering (ISSE) was held in Vienna, Austria. The IEEE International Conference on Recent Advances in Systems Science and Engineering (RASSE) was held on 7-10 November 2022, in Tainan, Taiwan. We look forward to holding the IEEE Systems Conference (SYSCON) in Vancouver, BC, Canada, on 17-20 April 2023, and hope that you plan to attend.
Publications have done quite well during the pandemic. The IEEE Systems Journal grew under the leadership of Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Amir G. Aghdam. I would like to congratulate Dr. Aghdam on his elevation to the rank of IEEE Fellow as of January 2023. This is a well-deserved recognition of his success and achievements. Dr. Hanwen Yu became Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Journal on Miniaturization for Air and Space Systems (J-MASS) in 2022 as the tempo of publications in this journal picked up. In 2023, we anticipate a successful launch of the IEEE Open Journal of Systems Engineering under the leadership of Editor-in-Chief, Dr. W. Dale Blair, and Associate Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Ljiljana Trajkovic.
High on my list of priorities is getting more individuals actively engaged in the Systems Council. I firmly believe you get more value from your IEEE membership when you invest your time in technical activities. If you are looking for an opportunity to grow professionally, try out a volunteer role on Systems Council. I would be happy to help you get connected.
Best Regards,
Walt Downing
President, 2023-2024

Please welcome the Systems Council's new member Society, IEEE Reliability Society. The IEEE Reliability Society welcomes anyone that has an interest in making “things” reliable. Their mission is to promote recognition of the reliability profession, develop, and disseminate reliability best practices, and be a resource for collaboration among reliability professionals.

The IEEE CAS Kenya Chapter members have been working hard to create a hardware community that will bring together hobbyists, engineers, scientists, researchers, start-ups, resellers, and PBC companies. Before the formation of the Chapter, all the members were working in Silos. The YP members in Kenya decided that CAS was the best platform to connect all these people together.

Recognizing the momentous technical and societal trends occurring in transportation electrification, the IEEE recently approved the formation of a Technical Council focused on the subject, to be called the Transportation Electrification Council (TEC). If you work in the transportation industry or have an interest in the field, please participate in activities, volunteer, suggest new initiatives, or take lead in developing programs for transportation engineers, managers, and researchers.
