Circuits and Systems Symposium
The 2009 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS 2009) is being held 24-27 May in Taipei, Taiwan. ISCAS 2009 is the world's premier networking forum of leading researchers in the highly active fields of theory, design and implementation of circuits and systems. Sponsored by the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society and hosted by the National Cheng Kung University, the Symposium will focus on circuits and systems for Human Centric Smart Living Technologies, including mobile communications, multimedia systems, sensor interface and biosystems. ISCAS 2009 will include oral and poster sessions; tutorials given by experts in state-of-the-art topics; and special sessions, with the aim of complementing the regular program with topics of particular interest to the circuits and systems community that cut across and beyond disciplines traditionally represented at ISCAS. Register today
New Wiley-IEEE Press Books
Two new Wiley-IEEE Press books are available.
Analysis and Design of Autonomous Microwave Circuits
Covers harmonic-balance techniques that can substantially increase control over oscillation in autonomous circuits. The author provides an explanation and analysis of the main types of autonomous circuits, including push-push oscillators, coupled oscillators, harmonic-injection dividers, and self-oscillating mixers.

New Look for IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Web Site
The official website of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society has been completely revamped. The dazzling new style makes the homepage easier to browse and enables information to be found more efficiently. The new homepage continues to serve as the main electronic archive as well as a dynamic information sink for disseminating important society’s news and initiatives and providing links to other websites of interest to our member.

IEEE Launches Interactive Web Site to Highlight Members’ Humanitarian Projects
IEEE has announced the new Humanitarian Technology Network (HTN) – a platform that enables IEEE members to connect and collaborate with others doing similar humanitarian work, while gaining visibility and recognition for their efforts. In addition to sharing details of their project(s), IEEE members may also post their needs for advice, funding or assistance from others. The ability to post articles in the HTN is one of the benefits of IEEE membership. Anyone can browse or view the HTN content, including humanitarians, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and others who may wish to partner with or fund member humanitarian efforts.
The HTN is built on the same technology as the IEEE Global History Network, which launched in 2008. The platform accommodates multimedia descriptions including text, photographs, diagrams, audio, video, as well as PowerPoint slide presentations.
The network is now open for IEEE member contributions. Add content today

Call for 2009 IEEE Educational Activities Board (EAB) Award Nominations
The IEEE Educational Activities Board (EAB) is once again seeking
nominations to recognize and honor individuals, companies and IEEE
Sections for their contributions to engineering and technical
education. The deadline for the 2009 nominations is 30 April 2009.
There are eight awards open for nominations.
IEEE EAB Meritorious Achievement Award in Accreditation Activities⎯for efforts that foster the maintenance and improvement of education through the accreditation process.
IEEE EAB Meritorious Achievement Award in Continuing Education⎯for contributions to the design, delivery and support of continuing education courses and programs in IEEE fields of interest.
IEEE EAB Meritorious Achievement Award in Informal Education⎯for
IEEE members who volunteer their time in public educational settings
such as museums, parks, zoos and aquariums and serve as librarians,
docents, tour guides, curators, board members or technical advisors.
This award recognizes their impact on teachers, students and the
public.
IEEE EAB Major Educational Innovation Award⎯for outstanding educational innovations that have had a major impact and have been emulated by others.
IEEE EAB Pre-University Educator Award⎯for current
pre-university classroom teachers who have inspired an appreciation of
mathematics, science and technology and the engineering process.
Pre-university teachers who have encouraged students to pursue
technical careers are also recognized through this award.
IEEE EAB Meritorious Service Citation⎯for IEEE
volunteers who are past members of EAB or current or past members of
EAB Committees (other than currently serving on ARC) for outstanding
and sustained service to the aims and objectives of the Educational
Activities Board.
IEEE EAB Employer Professional Development Award⎯for
organizations employing IEEE members and their contributions to their
employees’ continuing education and professional development.
Society/Council Professional Development Award⎯for
