During his keynote, Reisman will discuss the memoranda of understanding that the Computer Society of India, the IEEE, and the IEEE Computer Society executed last year to foster the organizations' mutual goals. The architects of the multi-year MOUs recognize the pace at which technology changes, and have adopted agile processes for announcing and releasing new projects and programs that can benefit the societies' members as well as the IT profession, overall.
Some of these include new membership discount programs, software engineering certification programs, joint society publication programs, and an India-wide IT curriculum assessment project. Reisman's presentation will offer an overview of these and other new projects, and describe opportunities for GIDS registrants to partake in these offerings and activities.
Reisman directs the international, higher education consortium, Merlot, and is a professor of information systems at California State University, Fullerton. He has held management positions at IBM, Toshiba, and EMI. He is an IEEE Senior Member and former Vice President of the Computer Society's Publications and Electronic Products and Services boards.
The 2010 edition of GIDS will feature focused sessions, case studies, workshops, and power panels. The conference is geared to providing attendees with ammunition to bolster productivity and harness new opportunities. India's largest independent summit for the software developer ecosystem, GIDS 2010 will feature three co-located conferences: GIDS.NET, GIDS.Web, GIDS.Java, and GIDS.Workshops, an exclusive day of in-depth tutorials. It is being produced by Saltmarch Media.
