IEEE Annual Election: Division III Candidates (Communications Technology)

Stanley L. Moyer

STANLEY L. MOYER
(Nominated by IEEE Division III)

Executive Director, Strategic Research Program
Telcordia Technologies, Inc.
Piscataway, New Jersey, USA

Stan Moyer (stanm@research.telcordia.com) is Executive Director and strategic research program manager in the Applied Research area of Telcordia Technologies, where he has worked since 1990. Currently, Stan is leading a development effort for a service to provide privacy assurances to mobile users for access to confidential and sensitive information.  In the past, he has led research and business development activities related to digital content services and home networking.  On these and other topics, Stan has been a frequent speaker at industry events, conferences, and standards meetings. Stan is currently president of the OSGi™ Alliance, an industry consortium creating specifications for the managed delivery of networked services.

Stan received his M.E. degree in Electrical Engineering from the Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, NJ (1990), his B.S. degree in Engineering Physics from the University of Maine (1987), and an MBA in Technology Management from the University of Phoenix (2004).

 

IEEE Accomplishments – As IEEE Communications Society treasurer I coordinated the process of establishing and managing a US$16M budget for the society that ended each year with a surplus.

As a member of the IEEE Communications Society Standards Board I oversaw the creation of four new ComSoc sponsored IEEE standard working groups and developed a good understanding for how IEEE SA can work with new organizations to develop standards.

My participation in the IEEE Technical Activities Board Finance Committee has provided me visibility into the best practices, activities, and needs of other societies.

As IEEE Multimedia Communications Technical Committee chair, I grew the size and increased participation of the committee.  This experience provided me a good understanding of IEEE’s core constituency — its technical folks.  As committee chair I also worked with three other IEEE societies on a joint publication, IEEE Transactions on Multimedia, and the jointly sponsored conference, ICME — gaining more experience on the pros and cons of collaboration between organizations.

 

Statement – One of IEEE’s current struggles is how to remain relevant to the practicing engineer. Coming from the commercial world, where I am the program manager for my company’s long-range research program, I understand the importance of fundamental technical research and the potential impact it can have if focused correctly.  If elected to the position of Division III Delegate/Director, I will use my experience to support the needs of the practicing engineer while continuing to promote engineering research that enables and feeds advances in industry. 

The importance of business relevance of technical work is becoming an increasingly predominant theme these days.  I would like to foster closer interactions between the academic and industrial communities to identify sets of problems that are both technically interesting and challenging, but also address a specific business need.  I would like to use my position as Division III Delegate/Director to encourage not only ComSoc, but IEEE as a whole to sponsor activities that encourage these interactions on topics of interest to both communities.

Douglas N. Zuckerman

DOUGLAS N. ZUCKERMAN
(Nominated by IEEE Division III)

Senior Scientist / Optical Network Research
Telcordia Technologies, Inc.
Piscataway, New Jersey, USA
www.DougZuckerman.com

Dr. Douglas N. Zuckerman recently finished serving as 19th President of the IEEE Communications Society, a global professional organization with over 42,000 members in 200 chapters worldwide. He previously held all four Vice President and other officer positions on the Society’s Board of Governors. He received his B.S., M.S. and Eng.Sc.D degrees from Columbia University and is an IEEE Fellow. His over 40 years experience, mainly at Bell Labs and Telcordia Technologies, USA, span the operations, management and engineering of emerging networks and services. His work set the basis for early telecommunications management network standards. Though semi-retired, he is still active in standards as Telcordia’s representative to the Optical Internetworking Forum. Much of his professional life has been dedicated to IEEE activities. His service resulted in the following honors: IEEE Third Millennium Medal, the Communications Society’s McLellan Award for meritorious service, its Conference Achievement Award, and the Salah Aidarous Memorial Award.

 

IEEE Accomplishments – For nearly 25 years, Doug’s innovative, energetic leadership across the Communications Society (42,000 members, US$17M budget) and IEEE has been responsive to member interests, worldwide. He completed his term as Communications Society President in 2009. He has served on IEEE’s Technical Activities Board, and the TAB/PSPB Products and Services Committee. He is currently on the TAB Management Committee, TAB Society Review Committee, TAB Liaison with the Member and Geographical Activities Board’s Member Engagement and Life Cycle Committee, and on the cross-Society IEEE Committee on Earth Observation.

As ComSoc President, he established a realistic “COMSOC 2.0” strategic vision and worked with ComSoc’s leadership to:

• Introduce on-line communities,
• Achieve greater global chapter and sister society teaming,
• Expand the Society’s lecture program,
• Reduce the submission to publication time of ComSoc journals,
• Strengthen ComSoc’s role in standards,
• Offer viable educational programs and industry-valued certification for career development,
• Engage more recent graduates and women in Society activities, and
• Revise its governance to better align the Society’s leadership with its global demographics.

In addition, he contributed to important IEEE initiatives in areas that benefited the members, our profession and humanity, including e-health, humanitarian technology, global earth observation, and smart grid.

 

Statement – Changes in industry structure and the world economy, together with "open access" trends, are presenting major challenges and opportunities to IEEE. My past service as ComSoc President, on the IEEE Technical Activities Board (TAB), and on committees across IEEE, has convinced me that we must be innovative and bold in providing meaningful and affordable services that our members around the world want and will buy. It is time to reshape and strengthen our global collaborations with industry, education, and government agencies to ensure IEEE's relevance and financial viability, while staying committed to the vitality of our technical and geographic communities. If elected, I will work with the IEEE Board of Directors, TAB, the Member and Geographic Activities Board, staff and others to assure that IEEE policies and actions provide high value to our members as well as our patrons in industry, education and government, staying closely in tune with their interests. For example, I would work towards easier access and lower cost dissemination of technical information, and easier ways for members to determine what’s important.
