Abstract

The IEEE Society on Social Implications of Technology (SSIT) announces the selection of Roba Abbas of the University of Wollongong, Australia, as Co-Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Technology and Society (TTS), beginning May 9, 2023. Professor Katina Michael of Arizona State University, USA, has already started her second accomplished three-year term as TTS EIC. Due to the rising number of submissions and international growth of SSIT publications, the Board of Governors has approved the co-EIC model across its publications. “Our new Co-EIC is internationally recognized, as a leading voice in the socio-technical field, chairing the Socio-Technical Systems Technical Committee at the IEEE Society on the Social Implications of Technology, and bringing a unique skillset to the T&S community at large. Dr. Abbas’ interdisciplinary skillset is evidenced in her experience across Business, Informatics, and Engineering Schools and in her time in industry,” said Michael.
