IEEE Forms Standards Interest Group for India

In the works since last year, the IEEE’s recent formation of the IEEE Standards Interest Group (SIG) for India heralds a new chapter in India’s role in the global standards process and will provide a platform for increased involvement of the local technical community in global standards development. The initiative is driven by the IEEE sections in India with active support from the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA), the standards development organization of IEEE. Srikanth Chandrasekaran of Freescale Semiconductors would lead the IEEE SIG as its chair. Cloud Computing and Smart Grid have already garnered significant interest and momentum due to various factors including market demand.Get more information from the IEEE.
