About the IAS Chapter

Aims

To promote a non-partisan cross-industry forum for the pursuit of professional interests and exchange of experiences by those involved in the application of systematic knowledge within the industry in its broadest sense. 

Objectives

• A regular programme of meetings and presentations by members 
• Emphasis on Decision Support techniques and tools across industry 
• Invitation to external domain experts for lectures 
• A programme of visits to industrial sites of potential interest to members 
• Liaison with other professional societies/programmes 
• Organisation of a national / international seminar addressing the industry applications and key developments at annual intervals 

In contrast with the conventional professional bodies, IAS is a broad based Society and caters for a wide spectrum of professional and technical interests. By virtue of its broad appeal and membership, IAS offers an unprecedented opportunity for exchange of knowledge and ideas within the diversity of disciplines in industry. This in turn provides a significant opportunity for increasing awareness and dissemination of ideas and best practice in the service, commerce, science and technology sectors. The cross fertilisation and dissemination of the state of the art knowledge is highly likely to yield significant dividends in areas of health, safety, environmental protection, commercial performance, welfare as well as the traditional manufacturing, service, scientific and research aspects of the industry. 

Membership

Attendance and membership of the IEEE IAS Chapter is open to all IEEE members and non-members. However, those not currently members of IEEE and IAS cannot assume formal roles within the Chapter and their future attendance at events and seminars may be subject to a charge. 

For further details please contact the Chapter Chairman.
