15. CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION The first thing for a young Chapter to do is to increase the number of members. Promotion activities are particularly needed. Tutorial & Special Session CDs to attract young students Talks by leading professors or industrial engineers Promotion of paper submission to ISSCC, ASSCC, etc. in academia. Co-work with Taipei Chapter to invite more SSCS speakers to Tainan Chapter 15
