IEEE SA Working Groups

At IEEE Standards Association (IEEE SA), Working Groups consist of individuals and organizations who work to create and write a standard. Working Groups are open to anyone to participate and represent a broad range of industries and technology spaces. This Guest Post solely represents the views of the Working Group and does not necessarily represent the views of either IEEE or IEEE SA.

Advancing Autonomous Robot Development and Adoption Through Standards

Autonomy is the ability to perform tasks without help. In the case of autonomous robots, obstacles may arise internally like an electrical short or a broken part or externally such as encountering debris. These instances can cause mission interruption or failure. Greater autonomy requires adaptive mechanisms to overcome disturbances that…

Addressing Grid Reliability As Renewable Energy Integration Speeds up

The trend to connect large-scale wind, solar, battery and other inverter-based resources (IBRs) to the electric power grid is accelerating. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that solar power alone, for example, could account for as much as 40% of the nation’s annual electricity generation by 2035, although the penetration…

A New Standard for a New Era in Space

The mapping applications on our smartphones and in our cars rely on signals from a constellation of navigation satellites to pinpoint our location. When these signals are reflected back into space, they are imprinted with data about the Earth’s surface features and conditions. The distortions and delays of the reflected…

New IEEE Standard Advances Federated Cloud Computing

Computing increasingly is performed “in the cloud,” meaning that the necessary servers, data storage devices, software and related digital tools and services are not local resources, but rather they are utilized via a remote data center managed by a cloud service provider. Users turn to cloud computing-enabled applications to augment…

IEEE P802.3df™ Defines Architecture Holistically to Achieve 800 Gb/s and 1.6 Tb/s Ethernet

Ethernet networking technology has come a long way since 1985 when the seminal Ethernet standard IEEE 802.3™ was published, providing for packet-based data transfer at 10 Mb/s. Since then Ethernet speeds have increased exponentially to 400 Gb/s, and Ethernet has both driven and benefitted from the growth of information and…

Working Together to Enhance Open Standardization for Haptics Technologies

Haptic technologies have been widely used in consumer and professional products for many years. Haptic actuator hardware and associated technology have been included in billions of devices such as smartphones, smart watches, game devices, and several other key types of electronic devices. However, application and content developers continue to struggle…

Process Model and Requirements Aimed at AI Procurement in a New IEEE Standard

Artificial intelligence (AI) and automated decision systems (ADS) are increasingly being used to aid or replace government decisions and judgments that impact opportunities, access, liberties, rights, and/or the safety of their citizenry. Government entities have been consumers and stewards of public use technology for over half a century. But traditional…

New Standard Allows Operators to Better Manage Ethernet Networks

Many, if not most, of the tasks we do as we go through our personal and business life each day require connectivity — everything from checking the weather or getting directions to giving a video presentation to a client or sending a contract for an e-signature to close a major…
