TC-8 Activities

The TC-8 committee has been, or can be, involved in the following activities:

TC-8's activity in recent years has been limited to review and maintenance of the three standards it maintains. At this point, TC-8 is essentially dormant until called upon by the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) to review one of the standards when its 5 year review cycle comes up. The IEEE-SA recognizes TC-8 as a standards development Sponsor Committee in the field of ATS.

If a group of engineering professionals or companies wants to develop an IEEE standard related to ATS, then one option is to develop the standard through the TC-8 committee. In recent years, there has been no serious action in this area. Companies developing ATS technologies generally do not see a need for IEEE standardization. In cases where some standardization across the industry is needed, private consortia are often used.

TC-8 can do some interesting and beneficial things for the ATS industry and profession if engineers will become members and volunteer some of their time and enthusiasm. If you would like to become a member of TC-8, please contact the chair.
