I have been elected Chair of the IEEE ComSoc Technical Committee on Power Line Communications for the term 2016-2018.
The interests of the technical committee span all areas of communications over power lines (PLC), e.g., access, home networking, in-vehicle applications, utility applications, etc. The areas of interest are the analytical, theoretical, simulation, experimental, and practical aspects of digital communications over power lines. The committee is one of the most active of the IEEE communication society with a large number of members. The committee organizes events in the power line communication area, sponsors conferences, contributes to the organization of technical events along ComSoc flagship conferences, and promotes the realization of special issues on leading journals and magazines. It also promotes the development of IEEE Standards in the area of power line communications ( http://plc.committees.comsoc.org/ ).
