TC Chair Guidelines
The technical committees (TC’s) play a key part within the Control Systems Society (CSS). Membership in a TC is open to all CSS members who wish to join and participate. Their role is to
- build and sustain a technical community
- promote technical communication and interaction on defined topics of interest, with technical peers outside CSS, and with other non-control focused groups
- provide occasions for researchers in related fields to communicate with each other and build closer relationships
- make control community and international scientific community in general aware of the scientific achievements and results in a specific field
- be the reference point for anybody, inside or outside CSS, with an interest in the research activities related to the TC
- hold at least one meeting at the CDC or ACC, preferably at both. (If a chair is unable to attend one of these conferences, the co-chair or other member of the committee may hold the meeting in their place.)
- contribute to the Technical Activities Board, including attending the semi-annual meetings at the CDC and ACC (or find a designate to attend)
-

- ensure submission of invited sessions and/or tutorial sessions at the CDC and other major conferences
