- Collaboration between IEEE-SA & CSeON (GISFI) Emergency Warning System (EWS) GISFI Meeting, New Delhi 24 Sept 2013

EWS: IEEE-SA/CSeON Collaboration  Emergency Warning System –IEEE-SA ComSoc Standards Board had initiated an activity driven by S Madanapalli (iRAM technologies) to identify gaps and possibility of new standards development; IEEE-SA created a study group in 2012 –CSeON (part of GISFI) technical group is also focusing on the EWS project and has made progress –GISFI has been working on this activity for about 9-12 months engaging with stakeholders  Desire for IEEE-SA & GISFI to collaborate on common activities –Many of the stakeholders working in both the projects would be common –Good opportunity to collaborate –GISFI through its CSeON (Cloud Service Oriented Networks) can bring in the experts to this forum –Use of robust, already established process within IEEE Standards Association to drive the standards development activities 2

EWS: Proposal for Collaboration  IEEE Communication Society sponsors standards through the IEEE ComSoC SDB (Standards Board Development) –IEEE ComSoc has 3 Standards Sponsors: COM/SDB, COM/PLC, COM/DySPAN-SC  Proposal to create Cloud Service Oriented Networks (CSeON) from GISFI as a standards committee (SC) within ComSoc –SC can be created as part of one of the sponsors mentioned above –SC will oversee working groups with related projects and scopes –Policy & Procedures will be derived out of the sponsor –Consideration of SC becoming a Sponsor can be considered with Standards Association Standards Board approval later  This will allow GISFI to preserve their structure through CSeON while developing standards under IEEE standards process –IEEE-SA study group(*) or working group to be created once PAR is approved –Publishing of the standards under IEEE Standards Association 3
