Mission
The Antennas and Propagation Society has established several Technical Committees under the Technical Directions Committee to actively promote discussion and advances in areas of member technical interests. Mission of the Technical Directions Committee (as outlined in the AP-S Operations Manual):
- Identify new technology of relevance to the Society.
- Coordinate activities for presenting new technology of relevance to the Society membership, including special sessions at symposia, workshops, special Transactions issues, reprints, feature articles in the Magazine, and other means approved by AdCom.
- Select topics for special sessions at the upcoming annual symposium in cooperation with the symposium local Technical Program Committee.
- Follow the activities of the IEEE Future Directions Committee (see http://www.ieee.org/about/technologies/index.html) and its initiatives and prepare proposals to engage AP-S if deemed adequate.
