Abstract :
The IEEE Control Systems Society (CSS) Technical Activities Board met at the 2008 American Control Conference in Seattle on Wednesday June 11, 2008. In attendance were Richard Braatz, Michael Demetriou, Jay Farrell, Shuzhi Sam Ge, Mustafa Khammash, Daniel Rivera, and Andy Teel. One of the main topics of discussion was the role of the technical committees (TCs) in organizing the technical program of the various CSS conferences. In particular, the TCs have played a significant role in motivating, creating, and organizing the Multiconference on Systems and Control (MSC).
