13. Institute of Information Sciences and Technology 13 Name change for IIST Four suggestions for staff consideration: 1.Institute of Information and TeleCommunication Sciences and Engineering – IITSE 2.Institute of Information and Communication Engineering Sciences - IICES 3.Institute of Information and Communication Sciences – IICS 4. Institute of Information Sciences and Engineering - IISE

14. Institute of Information Sciences and Technology 14 Name change for IIST Suggestions from staff: Professor Richard Harris Well, I suggested that we needed a "sexy" title for our Institute, so we could have: Statistics, Electronics, Communications, Software, Information and Engineering - I SECSIE (pronounced 'sexy')........ Assoc Professor Ray H Kemp As another candidate for institute name, we could consider I SCIENGE. This is a portmanteau word combining science and engineering. More specifically it is an acronym of: Stats, Computing, Information Engineering and Electronics. Phil Etheridge I think we need a name which is bold, trendy and sexy. Therefore, I submit Statistics, Electronics, Computer Science and Information Engineering. I SECSIE Paul Lyons: The Institute of Informatics II It's short (Gosh, I'm tired of names that require to take a deep breath before uttering them, and then repeat, because your listener wasn't expecting to have to absorb a novel-length name) It's descriptive. It already has considerable currency. It sounds hi-tech (without the negative vibes that people say are associated with the actual word "Technology") It isn't likely to be confused with the names of other groups on campus. Janina: Institute of Advanced Informatics IAI

15. Institute of Information Sciences and Technology 15 Name change for IIST Ganes: Institute of Comm Eng., Computing & Stats: ICECS (pronounced ISEX) Chris: Institute of Computing, COmmunications Engineering and Statistics – ICCES Institute of COmmunications Engineering, COmputing and Statistics – ICECS Institute of Statistics, Information Technology and Engineering – ISITE Martin Hazleton: II, I-SI
