Welcome Letters

IDETC/CIE

We are pleased to offer Dr Gahl Berkooz as the CIE keynote speaker on Monday, August 7 at 11:00am immediately before the CIE luncheon.
Dr. Berkooz is the Chief Data and Analytics Officer for Acorns, whose mission is to make Americans financially empowered by financial literacy,
saving, and investing. He has prepared a fascinating talk on Data, Analytics, and Internet of Things: the perfect storm and some Grand
Challenges.
On Monday afternoon, we will hold our annual awards luncheon at which we will present the conference best paper awards and the Division
research, leadership, service, lifetime achievement, and best dissertation awards.
We would like to thank all the authors for submitting papers to share their work. We would like to thank the reviewers for providing valuable
feedback to help improve the reporting and the quality of the conference and the session chairs and co-chairs that worked on coordinating the
paper review process. It is impressive to note that well over 400 reviews were submitted this year.
As always, all participants are encouraged to join the technical committees and the Division meetings on Tuesday evening. Our community will
continue to grow and flourish with your active participation as we work to define our future vision this coming year.
We welcome you to the 37th Computers and Information in Engineering Conference.
