6 Campaign of "What can TC do for its members?" (not yet)
Supporting TC activities makes passive TC's active, makes TC's attractive for their members, and therefore changes them provide academic privilege to their members. This is the start to be SIG's.

1. Background: Scope of SMCS is so wide that nobody knows our technical trends, emerging topics, and missing coverage of TC's, conferences, and publications well.
2. Objectives: Let's analyze papers in our fields, make a Technical Map, and use it for our strategic decision making, such as• planning new TCs,• new conferences/workshops, special issues, • tutorials, • panels, and• others
3. Progress: We collected paper titles of SMC1998 - SMC2005 and paper titles & abstracts of Trans. on SMC-A, B, and C in 1996-2006. We are now analyzing them.

order to strengthen the role of TCs as SMCS’ technical leaders and to attract the establishment of more grass root organizations that can help boost the SMCS membership drive.
5 As a long term goal, each TC must plan to organize, within a period of 5 years, at least one special issue in a journal (preferably in one of the SMC publications), one workshop or local conference (preferably in
collaboration with at least one SMC chapter), and/or one collaborative project with the industry.
