【講演概要】To be the leading provider of technical information, community services, and personalized services to the world’s computing professionals, the IEEE Computer Society has been strategically providing activities and products related to emerging technologies and professional and educational activities, including the Technology Predictions and the Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK Guide). This talk first provides an overview of IEEE CS’s strategic areas, including engaging our members, engaging the industry, and leading new areas such as AI and Society, with the cross-cutting strategic themes, including the empowerment and diversification of our volunteer base, nimbleness in execution, and diversity and inclusion. Then, the talk explains the latest version of the Technology Predictions 2025, which foresees 22 breakthrough technologies (incl. LLM/AI Agents, Mis/Disinformation, AI-based Medical Diagnosis, Next-gen cyberwarfare, and more) to shape the future of our world for decades to come, and the SWEBOK Guide V4.0, which reflects the current state of generally accepted knowledge derived from the interaction between software engineering theory and practice. Furthermore, the talk introduces related endeavors and initiatives, including industry-focused events such as the Generative AI Summit and the SWEBOK Summit, and the engagement and career development opportunities such as the CS Juniors program and professional certification programs.
