AESS Technical Operations

Welcome to the AESS Technical Operations webpage!

Technical Operations is responsible for oversite of the Technical Panels for the AESS Board of Governors.

Currently AESS has seven Technical Panels:

The panels hold multiple meetings per year throughout the world, typically where conferences relevant to their technical interests are taking place. Creation of IEEE standards and support of IEEE Conferences are major thrust of technical panels. Each panel operates under its own charter and bylaws. Be sure to click the appropriate Technical Panel button above for more information on that panel.

Please contact the VP Technical Operations, the Technical Panel Chairs or any member of the Board of Governors if you're interested in participating in the work of a technical panel.
