Long-time IEEE ComSoc Member Hisashi Kobayashi Receives the C and C Prize
Hisashi Kobayashi, the Sherman Fairchild University Professor Emeritus of Princeton University and a long-time member of the IEEE Communications Society (Fellow 1977, Life Fellow 2003), received a 2012 C&C (Computer and Communications) Prize. Kobayashi was awarded for his “pioneering and leading contribution both to the invention of high-density and highly reliable digital recording technology and to the creation and development of a performance-evaluation methodology for computer and communication systems.”
The other C&C Prize went to a group of Osamu Yamada (Waseda University), Toru Kuroda (NHK Research Lab) and Masayuki Takada (NHK Research Lab) for their “outstanding leadership in the research and development of the ISDB-T digital terrestrial television broadcasting system.
The award ceremony was held on at ANA Intercontinental Hotel Tokyo on November 28, 2012.
The C&C Prize, established in March 1985 by the NEC C&C Foundation, is given annually to no more than two groups in recognition of their outstanding contributions to research and development and/or pioneering work in the fields of semiconductors, computers, and/or telecommunications and in their integrated technologies (C&C).

IEEE Online Conference on Green Communications Call for Papers
“Call for Papers” Ends May 10 for Third Annual Event Dedicated to the
Advance of Green Communications & Energy Savings
NEW YORK, NY (March 7, 2013) – IEEE Online Conference on Green Communications
(OnlineGreenComm 2013), the virtual forum dedicated to the advancement of energy-efficient communications and green networking technologies, will hold its third annual event from October 29 - 31, 2013.
Rebranded from IEEE GreenCom to reflect the fully online agenda of the entire three-day program, IEEE OnlineGreenComm will consist of nearly one dozen sessions devoted to the development of next wave green communications and energy saving technologies. Interested participants are invited to visit www.ieee-OnlineGreenComm.org for more details including conference updates and submission guidelines. The “Call for Papers” deadline is May 10 for original, unpublished research papers.
“According to the U.S. Energy Department, if current trends aren’t changed worldwide energy
consumption will increase by 53 percent from 2008 to 2035,” says (IEEE OnlineGreenComm Co-Chair
Michela Meo of Politecnico di Torino, Italy). “Fortunately, the Information and Communications
Technology sector (ICT) offers numerous opportunities for reducing electricity consumption. IEEE
OnlineGreenComm is devoted to sharing the latest networking, smart grid and green communications
solutions with global professionals actively work to drive the newest global energy management
initiatives.”
Held entirely online, the three-day event is designed specifically to enable attendees from all over
the world to actively participate in scores of presentations on energy efficiency in an extremely energyefficient environment. In addition to providing the ability to interact with hundreds of international colleagues, this deeply informative, ecological and educational event will also embrace the latest powerful online conferencing tools to offer a near-physical experience that is both cost-effective and time-sensitive to today’s busy schedules.
Webcast internationally and then published at IEEE Xplore, IEEE OnlineGreenComm will host a
wide selection of keynotes and technical papers on subjects ranging from green communications in LTE
networks and multi-period traffic engineering to green optical network survivability and demand response
communications services. Other benefits include the ability to present research live and then interact with
audience members in real-time with moderator support. Specific topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:
- Green Solutions for Communications Technologies including energy-efficient measurement profiling, networking and protocols, communications management, data centers and wired, wireless, vehicular and content delivery networks
- Green Society Solutions based on Communications Technologies including smart cities, smart sensing, E-health, energy-efficient buildings, energy harvesting, industrial automation, Machineto-Machine communications (M2M) and Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS)
- Smart Grid Communications including advanced metering infrastructure and smart meter technologies, wide-area monitoring and control, demand-response management, distributed generation and storage, operations of renewable energy generation, management & control of distributed energy storage, grid-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-grid and micro-grids

TechNav it, and have a good ride!
When you want to connect to the IEEE's universe of information, you don't Google it, you "TechNav it!"
Developed by IEEE volunteers, IEEE Technology Navigator (TechNav) is an amazing online vehicle to help us discover the most relevant engineering content in the IEEE's intellectual property resources in a quickest fashion.
Have you tried the new IEEE Technology Navigator yet? This powerful tool covers 8,645 topics. The information is organized by TechNav tags. These tags are based on search terms from the IEEE Xplore digital library’s thesaurus. They are mapped to more than 50 IEEE societies and organizational units, as well as to industry sectors.
TechNav beta version was created in 2010 and got improved last year. The redesigned home page presents the topic areas in a more streamlined way. They can be navigated by industry topic (such as education, health care, or transportation) or by IEEE organization (like the IEEE Communications Society, IEEE Standards Association or IEEE Member and Geographic Activities). A mobile-friendly version of TechNav was also available on all mobile devices including smartphones and tablet computers.
Give the TechNav a test drive and let us know how it feels like. Is the Navigator fully loaded? Does it have a super powerful engine? Is it a smooth ride? How accurate is the steering wheel? Do you like it's interior features and interface? Are you in need for an app?
We encourage you to be our critics and let us know all about it either in the Comment Section of this blog below or email to society [at] comsoc [dot] org. Help us do better!
TechNav it, and enjoy the ride at technav.ieee.org.
