Welcome to the final Issue of IEEE SMCS e-Newsletter

and hope to increase the frequency of Newsletter posting
by couple of more in the next year depending on the
enthusiasm of our readers and membership.

I
would also like to mention about an IEEE membership
promotion drive, namely MGM (Member-Get-A-Member for
Higher Grade members) and SGS (Student-Get-A-Student
for Students) Programs Launch in September. This program
encourages you as a current member to introduce IEEE
to new members to join. In return for the recruiting
efforts, IEEE members will receive a voucher that
may be applied to a future IEEE invoice. Special circumstances
dues programs or reduced dues (e.g., retired and unemployed
members) have frequently been published in the Announcements
section of our e-Newsletters ( http://www.ieeesmc.org/announcements/index.html
).
Please contact IEEE Member Services at http://www.ieee.org/memberservices
for inquiries.
IEEE

new research endeavors that got off the ground recently
or recent activities at your research center or the
company. E-mail your submissions and contributions
