President's Message

At its August meeting, the SSCS AdCom celebrated the conversion of the Society´s Newsletter into a Magazine and heard a breathtaking preview of how ISSCC might look in 2020. According to conference spokesman Dennis Monticelli, the ISSCC may go virtual, with e-papers, an e-digest, and other complementary materials such as an e-journal developed as a result. Task Force actions taken to date will result in four experimental satellite conferences next year in the Far East, within three weeks of the ISSCC. This project not only addresses the future of the ISSCC, but of all SSCS conferences, even conferences in general.
