2009 Honors Ceremony to be Streamed Live Through IEEE.tv
For the first time, the IEEE Honors Ceremony will be broadcast live on
the Web through IEEE.tv. The 2009 Honors Ceremony will take place
Thursday, 25 June at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles,
California, USA at 6 pm Pacific Time.
Robert H. Dennard, IEEE Life Fellow, will be presented with the IEEE
Medal of Honor for inventing dynamic random-access memory which
fostered faster and more reliable computers. Other honorees include
individuals whose work has enabled deep-space exploration; improved
digital storage technologies and advanced radar detection, among
others. The ceremony also will honor IEEE student members who were
selected as winners in the inaugural IEEE Presidents’ Change the World
Competition. These students developed solutions to problems that
benefit humanity. This is the first time students will be recognized at
this annual event.
A URL for viewing the Ceremony will be provided on the Awards Web site.

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

Show IEEE How You Engineer Your World
IEEE invites you to celebrate our 125th Anniversary by participating in
the video competition. The contest asks people from across the globe
to submit short videos demonstrating their use of science, engineering
and technology to make their living spaces more livable, fun,
convenient or futuristic. Have you rigged your alarm clock to make you
a pot of coffee in the morning? Or fashioned a virtual whiteboard in
your car for convenient problem-solving on the go? Similar to IEEE's
125 years of innovations, there are no boundaries to Engineering Your
World, just possibilities. Visit the IEEE 125th Web site to see examples and submit your own video
