ELECTRONIC DEVICE FAILURE ANALYSIS | VOLUME 18 NO. 3 CALL TO ACTION
IEEE is a proven forum for stakeholders globally to col-
laborate for the benefit of humanity. IEEE is the world’s
largest professional association dedicated to advancing
technological innovation and excellence for the benefit
of humanity, with more than 426,000 members in more
than 160 countries (over 50% of whom are from outside
the United States).
The IEEE IoT Initiative ), for example,
has released a document intended to establish a baseline
definition of IoT in the context of applications that range
from small, localized systems constrained to a specific
location, to a large global system that is geographically
distributed and composed of complex subsystems. The
IEEE IoT Initiative invites global involvement fromparties
interested in advancing the definitions within the IoT.
In addition, the IEEE Standards Association has a
number of standards, projects, andevents that aredirectly
related to creating the environment needed for a vibrant
IoT
Collaboration through such globally open activities
will help ensure that the IoT indeed turns out to be the
“next big thing.”
