Greetings SSIT Members,
It has been a snowy month here in Ontario, but through the blizzards, we have been collecting and preparing this packed February issue of the SSIT newsletter. Below, you’ll find:
- A memorial tribute to founding member of the SSIT Standards Association, Peter Reid;
- The first call for nominations to SSIT leadership positions for our 2025 elections;
- Information about several upcoming talks and reports on recently completed SSIT activities;
- A new installment of our Standards Column, featuring Yueh-Hsuan Weng, the Working Group Chair for P7017 Recommended Practice for Design-Centered Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) and Governance;
- Links to the latest issue of IEEE Technology and Society Magazine, which includes a special issue on the ethics of defence research;
- Updated information on how (and when) to nominate deserving colleagues for SSIT awards;
- And more!
As always, we invite content submissions for future newsletters via email to halove@uwaterloo.ca. The deadline for inclusion in the next newsletter is 10 March 2025.
Sincerely,
Heather Love (SSIT Newsletter EiC)
