BERKEKEY INITIATIVE IN SOFT COMPUTING (BISC)

As you are aware the Internet growing exponentially and will merge with wireless and Mobil Internet and Web. BISC initiated a new interest group regarding this issue.  We invited a series of Academic and Industrial colleagues to join our group as Steering Committee. 
 

Please see the draft below that I have prepared to announce the new BISC special interest group (sigFI).

The group will have two main committees: an Academic-Technical Steering Committee and an Industrial-Sponsor Committee. We would like to initially have Steering Committee members (in the form of associate and advisory members) and main Industrial members (In form of advisors and sponsors). Each Steering Committee member could also be a point of contact with one Industrial  member to represent on-going industrial needs. Sub-committees could also be formed to focus on specific issues. The committees can evaluate  the need for expansion when new areas that have impact in both industry  and academia are recognized.

I would like to invite you to be involved in this new interest group as  an Industrial- Sponsor Steering Committee member. 

The industrial committee member will closely work with an academic committee member toward technology transfer, commercialization of the technology, and define the focus area which may have important impact in industry. We would ask the that member introduces an academic contact to the group and continues to represent this academic partner at sigFI meetings. This will help our group to be  more practical in its applications. We welcome your suggestions in terms of other areas of focus and goals for the sigFI.
