The grade of Fellow is conferred by the IEEE Board of Directors upon an IEEE member with an extraordinary record of accomplishments in any of the IEEE fields of interest. The Fellow grade recognizes extraordinary individual technical or educational accomplishments, in line with the IEEE Certificate of Incorporation that states that the purposes and objects of the Corporation are “to engage exclusively in scientific and educational activities.” An effort to review the Fellow elevation process was started by the IEEE Board of Directors back in 2020, culminating today in a proposal that drastically changes many aspects of the elevation process. Several concerning issues with this proposal were identified by multiple stakeholders, such as the 2021 Fellow Strategic Planning Subcommittee (FSPS) and several Societies and Technical Councils who expressed their strong objections to the proposal. This article provides an in-depth analysis of the proposal and concludes that the proposed changes derive from a misunderstanding of the current Fellow processes and are based on a misidentification of the root causes of the perceived shortcomings in the current practice. Furthermore, the proposed changes lack an evidence-based rationale for justifying making such drastic changes while the available evidence points to their ineffectiveness at addressing the stated goals. The objective of this article is to help IEEE members and decision makers better understand what is at stake and make informed decisions on a difficult and complex topic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The IEEE Communications Magazine (ComMag) is soliciting creative Feature Topic (FT) proposals to complement its Series and Open Call publication tracks. A Feature Topic (FT) is a group of papers focusing on a timely narrow-scope topic of interest to the readership of the magazine. They must not duplicate other publication tracks and must offer opportunities for manuscript streams not traditionally submitted to Series and Open Calls. Potential Guest Editors (GEs) interested in organizing an FT can submit a proposal to the Editor-in-Chief (EiC) of the IEEE Communications Magazine. Proposers must read and fully understand the IEEE Communications Magazine guidelines for authors, reviewers, and editors (https://www.comsoc.org/publications/magazines/ieee-communications-magazine), and must pay special attention the Policy for Proposing and Organizing a Feature Topic (https://www.comsoc. org/publications/magazines/ieee-communications-magazine/policy-for-proposing-and-organizing-feature-topics). Proposals not taking all the magazine guidelines into full consideration cannot be accepted. It is highly recommended that the lead GE communicate his topic, plan, proposed GE list to ComMag (EiC or AEiC) to discuss them before taking the time to prepare a complete proposal and/or finalizing a committed list of GEs for this matter. We are interested in all topics within the magazine scope and as described in the above mentioned guidelines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article discusses the met averse services and business models and Met averse architectures. Topics include the ways of social interaction are significantly augmented with persistent virtual content, consumed via VR or AR; met averse is an emerging concept which embraces three important elements, and Experimental demonstrations and prototypes of met averse.

The article reports that over time, the capacity of networks has dramatically increased, thanks to advances in optical communications. However, the Internet traffic is still growing every year which forces network operators to look for efficient solutions to manage this traffic. Since the advent of Software-Defined Networking (SDN), the majority of researchers focus their attention on centrally managed networks with efficient traffic management solutions.

The article reports that The term Industrial Control System (ICS) refers to a collection of integrated devices, systems, networks, and controls whose objective is to monitor, operate, and/or automate industrial processes. Nowadays, ICSs can be found in almost every industrial sector, including transportation, manufacturing, distribution, critical infrastructure, etc.

The article reports that In contrast to the Shannon paradigm whose underlying principle is to guarantee the correct reception of each single transmitted packet regardless of its meaning, semantic communication is concerned with the problem of how transmitted symbols convey a desired meaning to the destination, as well as how effectively the received meaning affects the action in a desired way.

The article reports that The metaverse is an emerging concept which embraces three important elements. First, it embraces a social element, i.e. it is not only a virtual space where users spend time (and money) on their own or with a selected few. Rather, the metaverse is intended to resonate with the very social fabric which underpins human society.

The article reports that from the late 1970's onward, the global telecommunication industry has gone through several waves of regulatory and technological changes. Today, the very definition of telecommunication has changed. First, the traffic is no longer confined to voice and limited data services, but has become a fundamental pillar of the digital transformation that is affecting all aspects of our contemporary life.

The article reports that With the continued growth of IoT devices and their deployment, manually managing and connecting them is impractical and presents multiple challenges.
